What you see before you is a good portion of my knitting supplies. Twisted into knots and generally a big mess. There is a simple solution to this, which would be to cut it off at the ends and just absorb the loss. There’s an obvious reason not to do that, which would be waste.

But the real reason is because I just enjoy unraveling it. It’s just another puzzle like jigsaws or Rubik’s cube. The reason I think I’ve always liked these kinds of things is because it gives me the act of putting something right. Returning something to its original form. The way it’s supposed to be.

The same satisfying feeling as when you finish cleaning your house or something else like that. Everything in its Right Place as Radiohead would say. I’m going to work on it until it’s done and I have a big basket of yarn balls. There are still ten more seasons of X-files I need to watch.

My mind has become a lot clearer since I moved out on my own, so I think I’m going to try and make amigurumi dolls again. I’ve never had the clarity to do so before. I’ll keep you updated on how that goes.
