Fortunate I am to have lots of friends with worn out pants. I lost count of how many are in the rug now. I'll keep going until I can beg no more jeans, or the rug is too heavy to move. The stitching tires my hands, as does the tedious painting and re-making of my kitchen. But bit by bit the spiraling path seems a little less stormy.

thank you for sharing the video. I feel the same way.

What a profound mediation on handwork. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's more than a bit ironic that I'm typing these comments on a computer made of bits of plastic and metal while watching someone spin yarn with a 30,000 year old device. —Bob K.
