- Time of past OR future Camino
- CF 2016, CP 2017, CF SJPP-Astorga 2021
I will knit on the camino - while it is not raining (I know it will rain quite a lot) and when it is rather flat (the meseta will be knitting heaven, the Valcarlos and lots of other places will not - but there will be plenty of resting time).
I can knit in darkness, while walking, while talking, during lectures (under the table to avoid offending others) and while looking after the children on playgrounds and during football practice, during conferences, concerts and also music festivals. I don't have to look at it - and it is like meditation. I feel so concentrated and present while doing it. I have thought a lot about what colours to use - and have decided that it has to be dark shades of green. The soft alpacca yarn is bought - and will add some weight.
It will hopefully turn into a self designed sweater with various birds motives on the arms - I think they must be birds of freedom and strength. (While knitting a pattern I have to admit that I need to look - so that part needs to be knitted while resting/doing non-walking activities - apart from sleeping).
I might post a few photos of the knitting on 'the way'.
