  • WIP : Architectural knitting with Habu linen and fishing line

    IMG_9738 This is Slow Knitting in both aspects – mindful and taking time. 

    The Habu (from KBN) has been wrapped with the fishing line around a weaving shuttle – five or six times is about right – and then unwrapped one or two wraps while knitting;  trying to knit taking each strand from the ball and roll was impossible without frustrating tangles.  (I bet others have solved such a problem with nifty techniques……???)

    IMG_9739 The experience of knitting with elastic bands and then later with fishing line and a cotton/silk yarn are motivating further adventures such as this.

    I enjoy the result of knitting as architecture that 'houses' the body.  It is fun to wear.

    Not sure what this WIP will evolve into ;  I'll keep knitting …..  and knitting  ……  and knitting ……
