“If you haven't got something to put it in, food will escape you--even something as uncombative and unresourceful as an oat. You put as many as you can into your stomach while they are handy, that being the primary container; but what about tomorrow morning when you wake up and it's cold and raining and wouldn't it be good to have just a few handfuls of oats to chew on and give little Oom to make her shut up, but how do you get more than one stomachful and one handful home? So you get up and go to the damned soggy oat patch in the rain, and wouldn't it be a good thing if you had something to put Baby Oo Oo in so that you could pick the oats with both hands? A leaf a gourd a shell a net a bag a sling a sack a bottle a pot a box a container. A holder. A recipient.”

From The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula K. Le Guin

Knitting is a craft that is essentially about connection. The process of knitting entails tying yarn together to form a surface. These surfaces are then joined together to create a three-dimensional object, such as a container or garment. The yarn used in knitting is made by combining short wool hairs together.

Knitting is a meditative process for me, and I find joy and inspiration in the intricate details of each stitch. The act of knitting is full of subtle nuances and each stitch has a purpose, much like seeing the world through a fly's eyes.
