the ebb and the flow
the stitch and the rip.
Mortie..
Remember how I used her as a bookmark about 2 weeks ago?
Stitches dropped off.
Botched rescue attempt.
Ripping.
Yesterday I was reading Wendy's tale of ripping woe.
And today here I am back where I was 2 weeks ago.
On row 16.
Which makes knitting Mortie feel like Mona Hatoum's piece " + and - "
Which is a kinetic scuplture where a single turning blade simultaneously rakes grooves into the sand...
then smoothes them over.
Just like they were never there.
Then grooves again....
