I did a version of the fractal stripe that Janel Laidman introduced in Spin Off a little while back.
Here are a few skeins:
Now I have to admit that a lot of yarns look prettier in the skein than knitted up. I like the accidental quality and the surprise of what develops.
I love these gloves. Not because I think they're beautiful but because they have a little ugliness that fascinates me and if I look at it sometimes it's pretty.
But really I'm considering the idea these gloves as magical objects. They look like magical objects.
My other passion is consciousness technology and more specifically the technologies that are driven by consciousness. I have played with water encoded with information, sacred geometries and jewelry that carries a certain etheric signature to name a few. To be honest, these are probably the tamest of my samplings.
I do notice that animals love things that have been handmade. I know that my handspun, handknitted garments feel completely different. They are not often beautiful but they feel beautiful and they really do fascinate me.
I feel as if there is information encoded in them and probably most of that is love since spinners spin because we love it. But there is a way to specifically encode information in objects and I would like to explore how to add to what is already there in a complementary fashion.
Maybe I'll call this pair Warm Hands, Warm Heart.
