Needle Worship: More Choices For Bill: Oceanic

More Choices For Bill: Oceanic

Another Variegation but in blue, made of Merino Wool. This one could be combined with a solid green or blue to represent oceanic tones, instead of using the contrasting orange shown here. Of course, I mean our Pacific Ocean. If you look at my older posts under the title "British Isles" you can see what variegated wool looks like when it is in knit form.

These works reward my life with a meditative quality as well as a connection to others because I often do my work on public transportation or in public space. Many people offer stories of their grandmother's or mother's needle work, they recall back to days when they learned to knit as a child, when it was still considered a valuable skill. The stories that arise often lead to philosophical conversations about love and purpose, teaching me so much about life and living. I am grateful for these poignant times, at the knees of strangers that I consider lifelong friends.
