Day 5:

I came in to school today, and this was in my box! A colleague bought it for me. I feel Seen! The synchronicity is abundant these days.

This knitting element of my Tying Up Loose Ends project has me thinking a lot about textile arts, how they’ve been so often the province of women, how “women’s work” has so often been derided as less than the work and the art of men, how the spinning and the knotting and the weaving of threads are ancient work, necessary to our ancestors for keeping families clothed and warmed, how these acts became magickal acts. 

We spin the stories that connect us to each other, weave and knit together the strands of our separateness into whole community cloth. We untangle threads to see more clearly the path we must follow.

I cast off the second front piece today, and began a sleeve. Thor really does love this project.
