Making
Knitting
A sweater is a stack of decisions small enough to make on a train.
It travels with weaving, quilting, and the textile work of museums that still mend.
People who knit through meetings are often regulating attention, not filling time.
On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside knitting reads “a row you can count.” It tends to meet weaving, and quilting.
Work that shares the table
A book that keeps it company
Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew B. Crawford. Read it beside knitting: A case for work that pushes back, written by someone who left a desk for a bench.
