I gather a small length of wool from the blanket. This fibre’s fragility is increased by the time it was in contact with the people that used the blanket, the friction of their body matting the fibres together and making it more difficult to separate warp from weft. I then knit it. When the length of wool is knit, I return to the blanket to harvest more.

The blanket will not be completely undone, and the knit object will not be bound off.
Excerpt of the process of taking apart the blanket.

(how) do i reconcile

  • “i can’t stop trying to look for ways to do this faster.”
  • “i keep expecting it to get more fragile as i take more risks, but it’s not.”
  • “the bigger it gets, the longer it takes to make changes to the pattern that you can notice.”
  • “i cannot seem to find a position or posture to do this without pain.”
  • “this cannot be touched and handled in the same way as other knitting.”
