Gordian Knot

Here is another stitch with roots in Greek Mythology. According to myth, Phyrigia was without a ruler, so it was decided that the first person to enter the town with an ox-cart would be their next king – randomness might have originated with the Ancient Greeks!  Time passes and along comes Gordias with the requisite

Wings of the Swan

Another knitting stitch in the found poetry of knitting stitches is “Wings of the Swan.” Swans, as you can see by an earlier post, figure prominently in the Arts.

Wild life…..

Just a little time out because I have to take some pictures of swans – Zeus where are you…? before I can write up the next post on the knitting stitch “Wings of the Swan.” So here’s a short video of what I do in the morning before breakfast 😉  As well as communing with
