I'm just thinking of a poor character having to Knit their memories back together :'( <br /><br />I agree 100% with Phil, go research this, it could be a sad but cosy story :) <br /><br />Kayliegh Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322674597429919012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608392979445140674.post-59332211657927748562016-09-23T14:26:03.126+01:002016-09-23T14:26:03.126+01:00I think you need to give 'knitting' a bit ...I think you need to give 'knitting' a bit more thought - I suggest you look at synonyms for knitting and how the word is used in terms of simile and metaphor: the point about knitting is that it is something comprised of threads or separate elements combining to create something bigger/solid - and the other point is that knitting suggest vulnerability, as in 'things becoming unravelled' - it does seem as if knitting as an aesthetic works well for stories about 'memories' and also 'loss of memories' - I wonder if you'd thought of looking at personal stories about alzheimer's or dementia - something about memories and forgetting? I don't think just sticking a knitted aesthetic onto an existing story is going to be satisfactory in the long run... think about once solid things becoming unravelled, because then a world made of knitting starts to make more sense to me as 'more' than just a surface on a world; if the knitting represents the 'fabric' of the world/of reality/of memory - then things start to feel more embedded and less superficial. <br /><br />tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608392979445140674.post-67256785021438808462016-09-23T11:55:06.422+01:002016-09-23T11:55:06.422+01:00Thank you Mark, I'll definitely keep that in m...Thank you Mark, I'll definitely keep that in mind :)Mailin Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589614045284458779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608392979445140674.post-73523001560578871462016-09-23T11:21:14.354+01:002016-09-23T11:21:14.354+01:00These personal stories sound interesting. Though I...These personal stories sound interesting. Though I think making the world knitted would have to depend on the tone of the story you want to tell. (I remember the knitted scene from Hitchhikers, I recall the look was for absurdity and randomness by exploring infinite improbabilities such as a reality where life was made of wool.)<br /><br />A knitted world could work if the narrator was a young child recalling a story their grandparents told them.Spacer176https://www.blogger.com/profile/04901760829312108610noreply@blogger.com
