Re Sweaters and Minimalism, online blog The Messy Table by Katie Munnik
Maureen said: I’m pretty sure that the loved feeling that’s knit into sweaters is just as effective at warding off the cold as the thick cables and the scratchy wool. Blue will be well protected from the elements in his sweater of many colours.
West Coast Oma said: I always think that sweaters, like quilts, wrap us in love & support when the maker is unable to physically be there to hold us & give us those much-needed encouraging words & comfort. Keep on knitting; we have witnessed you doing it with so much concentration & love for the wearer.
Kim W. said: Oh Katie, I can picture you doing this. You have beautiful sweaters, and I can’t imagine you having to part with any of them. I have been going through all of our things and trying to part with as much as I can as I come to the realization that our cozy new house is lacking in storage. I think moving a few times in the last year has really made us realize that while we are blessed to have been given lots of “stuff,” and we have a lot of “stuff,” too much stuff just gets in the way, literally. But, those articles filled with memories are just impossible to part with, so I had my lovely hubby build me a shelf!
