The informants say in the interviews that when it was finished with all the heavy daily duties and everyday things, the knitting was brougt out. That is perhaps what is the connection to today's knitting, that the everyday fades a little, one's monotonous work, one's state of health, whatever it is, maybe knitting frees us from it and gives us a new spirituality, a new liberating space where our creation achieves something free, without musts, a space where we can create as we want and feel free. A way to move from the thought to the hand, from thinking to doing, a way to rest from stressed minds. The knitting is concrete, something is created, perhaps something to be proud of, visible productivity, what remains.
