WDYDWYD :: knitting as meditation.
********
several years ago,
i was asked to knit this or that particular item for people.
a hobbit-type toque for a young man turned into a project for
his several friends....all of them wanting matching hats.
thereafter, at the request of so many people,
i began knitting fingerless mittens,
i began knitting fingerless mittens,
and have lost count of how many pairs i have freely given.
even one pair for a male....
even one pair for a male....
never once have i charged any monies for the things i have knitted.
from the beginning stage of planning the project through to
each stitch
i hold each prospective recipient in my thoughts.
the time spent knitting turns into meditation for that soul.

WDYDWYD :: why do you do what you do?
a beautiful and expressive movement of people answering the simple question
combining an image and text in a creative way.
