Knitting is my least favorite medium because I wish to knit without making my work look like knitting. Since that is next to impossible, I find it extremely restricting.

I can paint in oils and make it look like a watercolor or a photograph, among other things.

I can write and make my work seem like I actually murdered a person or lived on the planet Mars, among other things.

Yet, when I knit, the stitches dictate my work, whether I use big needles or small needles.

A very early work, possibly 1997

Freedom dress, made of stash mercerized cotton thread for my eldest granddaughter Angelique who was in grade school at the time.

She is now 28 and is a practicing lawyer.

Would have finished _The Golden Fleece_ last night, but felt drowsy and had to set it aside to sleep (the objective of my reading in bed).

Fascinated by the cones of thread that Ariadne showed Theseus (one into the labyrinth and one out of it). Whenever I come upon thread in any myth I cannot help but think of knitting and of friends who knit or handle yarn or thread. Thread in myths seems to be an archetype of salvation, of escape, of freedom, of life, and of death, and I am happy that I actually use it to knit artworks.
