Simpleminded
24/4/13 14:12I tried to knit this:
(Arpeggio by Maria Leigh on Ravelry)
It appealed to me because its design embodies a high order of complexity. Everything about it is difficult and demanding--the stitch, the construction method, the shaping, the sizing, the finishing. It's hard to cast on, hard to bind off, and unforgiving for every row in between.
I thought I could do it, but I couldn't. Everything difficult about it was, for me, actually impossible.
( Like a lot of things in my life, this isn't REALLY about knitting at all. )
