Wit of knitting: a philosophical reflection on knitting things aright

Thalos, Mariam G

2008

Journal Article

Seeing a pattern in a medium of yarn emerge on a pair of needles, initially from a single row of loops, and grow to become an article of clothing, is immensely satisfying. Indeed, every moment of knitting provides immediate gratification. This is perhaps why knitting, like many other occupations of the hands, is so calming to the soulful organism, at once delivering analgesic relief from stress in the form of an endorphin cocktail, and simultaneously aligning the mind with the movements of the spheres.
