Out of the Ordinary

Knitting : Origami ; Blanket

Img_1025Exploring the adventure of Origami can lead beyond paper to wondering how a leaf or a crepe or hair or – in this case – a knitted blanket will respond to being folded.  In this case – I like how each day the folds are different and result in a creation that changes each day. I like how the creases are soft rather than crisp, and how the stages are suggested rather than disciplined. 

I am particularly surprised at how, having the experience of folding fabric thusly and going back to paper with the memory – and some subconscious expectation – of what knitted fibre can do, finding that paper fibre complies.  That paper responds to a gentle persuasion!
