World class hand knitting.

I was told.

Is about balance.

But I have my own ideas.

I think it’s about being unreasonable.

Balance.

Durability or softness.

Colour or texture.

Weight or wearability.

It was my naivety.

Especially in the early days.

That was a real advantage with this either-or tension.

Because I didn't want trade-offs.

I wanted everything.

That’s why I was unreasonable.

Unreasonable.

I asked Jo for unreasonable things.

Conflicting things.

(Jo laughed of course.

I’d expect nothing less from my Technical Knitting Lead.

Until she saw I was serious.

Then she just shook her head).

And it is my unreasonableness.

And Jo’s patience that.

At least in part.

Has made Always Wear Red great.

World class.
