How does this image continue
This image is maintained by Kyoko Mori when she asserts that she cannot knit a sweater because the patterns will confuse her. This happens after she narrates of her experience, knitting a mitten to the German woman that she met. This image is also continued when she made an asymmetrical sweater with one sleeve being more extensive than the other. She also talks of her first homec sewing project being no better than the mittens meaning that the project was as bad as the mitten situation. She also acknowledges that there is the spirit in her knitting life of laziness and overachieving, and that is why a voice in her will say that she won’t try something because it doesn’t come naturally to her. Mittens emerge as an essential part of the essay’s theme in ways such as the regard of Latvia’s tradition for girls to make mittens from a young age to start early on her dowry chest. During the wedding, mittens were distributed to all participants. Also, Mori ultimately decides to reconcile to the mitten and knit one after avoiding losing to knitting mitten by busying herself in making sweaters and hats. She eventually decides to make peace with mittens and knit to her best. This shows that making a mitten was an overall achievement for her.
The historical details are essential for Mori to narrate because they give the originality of her knitting. It tries to show the development that knitting has made and the point to where knitting is today. By concentrating on her own knitting and experiences, it will not bring out the originality of some of the things that she does when knitting. It also gives a comparison of her actual level of achievement of knitting by comparing to the historical developments and achievements. It is also an opportune moment to make sense of some of the archival information provided by Mori that exists about knitting such as why knitting is just never perfect and why not to worry about it. The historical details add more information and impact knowledge of knitting from the ancient years. It also creates interest as so the importance that knitters withhold in their experiences of knitting.
Yarn suggests that it is not matters of enjoyment and satisfaction of knitting, but it is also patients, commitment and meticulousness. It is also about the artwork put into knitting through the formation of unique patterns and thus showing creativity. It is dedication and time because knitting one sweater can even go for one month. Therefore, it is not only having fun and satisfaction in knitting but also committing to an artwork. The pun, therefore, intended for this essay is a long but plausible journey through knitting. Yarns are long, and the process of knitting is also long, and consequently, the pun would fit the essay. Mori’s bags at home stashed with different colors of yarns collected from different cities where she wandered into yarn stores shows her knitting connected with art from different cities. She also connects her knitting with general life by looking for balance in her knitting. That is why she would instead knit from a complicated pattern than an easy, flawless one. From her account of knitting, the author’s attitude towards life is that of patience and learning from mistakes and making the mistakes the strengthening point. It is not about taking the easy way because it is possible to do it but choosing to make an art out of something, however complicated it is.
