it's the only thing related to needles that i love. i love sifting through vintage patterns tagged with headings such as "for the well-dressed young man" that are modeled by slightly creepy-looking children wearing things such as knitted helmets and dickies. i marvel at the sheer accumulation of tiny stitches, each completed one by one. the patterns comprised of formulas only a pure mathematics genius could fathom. the detail. the concentration. the patience. oh god, the patience. it's akin to the work of monks, really.
(only without the head-shaving part.)
