I liked it! And I’m actually glad I clicked through to—cough—instagram.

how the heck did the artist model those? knitting and knots are complicated, and those are amazing!
That’s not really knitting, if you watch carefully. It starts with warp threads, like weaving (each column is a different yarn), and then they’re manipulated to seem as if they’ve been knitted. Fascinating, but I don’t think it can actually be created with needles.
In a glass half empty frame of mind I see the unravelling more than I see the ravelling.
I fear it might provoke a different experience
Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep: the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care,
The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
