'stretching ...
- … the line’
so my loosey goosey method of storing yarn has led to this. and i like it. the smooth and even rows of the cloudlike burly spun contrasts so interestingly with the mercurial personality of the aquarella.
today it feels a bit like life: the organized bits crammed right up against the ducks that refuse to stay all neatly in a row. praiseworthy actions tucked closer than sardines in a can to the urges that should be resisted. so like my life.
this is knit in one long flat strip and then sewn up at the edges. it keeps the stripes from having that changing colors blurp that can happen knitting stripes in the round. with stitches this big the sewing up is easy. you just thread your tapestry needle through the end stitch of each row being sure to keep the color changes lined up when you come to them.
today my mind is a deepish well. so one more ‘like life’ idea. the stripes here are thin on one end and thick on the other, so depending on your vantage point the look really changes.
funny how the same conversation can be heard
to mean two almost completely opposite things
by two different friends or such.
funny like hmmm …
(not ha-ha).
