Perhaps I am talking to someone, listening to a podcast or thinking of something. Next time I pick up the needles, my mind brings that context to life again in the feeling of the structure and the muscular memory of the motion. It&#8217;s like\u00a0the context gets caught in the thread and woven into the garment. A parallel process of the\u00a0time, space and events of that moment is created and recreated.<\/p>\n<p>I may be thinking about when I prepared and spun the yarn or remembering what the fleece felt like. Perhaps I am thinking of how the dye didn&#8217;t turn out the way I had planned but how I still loved the result.<\/p>\n<p>I may remember the last time I was knitting at a coffee break at work, letting my co-workers\u00a0choose the next colour.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I remember a heartwarming conversation with a curious subway passenger asking me about my project. I may smile at the memory of\u00a0seeing other passengers watching the repetitive movements\u00a0of my hands, and getting helplessly enraptured in the motion. I imagine they are positively affected by my\u00a0serenity.<\/p>\n<p>I may definitely remember all the mistakes I have made in the process, how I have dealt with them and what I have learned from them.<\/p>\n<p>When the garment is finished and all the ends woven in, I wrap myself in it,\u00a0like a story book.
