I have a tendency to knit odd things, more sculptural and just plain wierd and so I need to know how to actually shape what I'm knitting so I do a mind bending exercise by looking at what is around me and thinking of how I would knit it...things like city buses and human bodies and food and everyday objects. It's a great mental trick and it also makes you break things down into smaller components and actually think about the structure of everyday objects.<br /><br />But people really look at you funny when you are staring at the city bus intently dissecting how you would knit the bike rack...I might need to feign talking to voices in my head so I'll have an excuse.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704916453841215332noreply@blogger.com
