Adventures in Knitting

[Brian Moore]

Yes,...the discussion was about knitting.

Looks like it's getting tense and argumentative Brian - the body language tells the tale

Looks are deceiving in this case, Chris. Thanks.

I've been saving this one thanks to the enigmatic title - and I wasn't disappointed! Brilliant, especially with the placement of that light bulb too. As a follow-on image to the last in this 'session' I can only image that somehow the discussion has drifted to the role of Fairisle designs as allegories of Buddhist teachings and practice.

Thanks, Pete. As I observed this scene play out I was well aware of the bulb's symbolism and it occurred to me that if lit it might help illuminate for the viewer of this image that there was a touch of Hindu mysticism underlying every knit one/pearl two that floated verbally into the atmosphere. However, I resisted the urge to flip a switch lest I be perceived as having become manipulative of the documentary, or even just too involved to remain a dispassionate observer. I worried over this a little. However, your response, Pete, has allayed my fears. Although you failed to identify the true Eastern philosophical underpinnings of the moment you came fairly close. Well done, Pete! And thank you for the comments Pete.
