De 15 minute video below shows a group of yarnbombers crocheting (en het doen van een beetje van het breien) and then participating in a yarnbombing project. For some reason, I found this video compelling. I especially enjoyed the first two minutes of the video, which is entirely close-ups of hooks and needles moving through yarn. I think it’s because I found it really meditative to just stop everything for two minutes and watch this motion.
I did fine my mind wandering as I watched, but in a lovely reflective way. I would wonder what the person was making. I would wonder what type of yarn I was looking at. I would notice the difference in hand motions between crochet and knitting, between crochet hooks held different ways. Then I’d immerse myself back into the video again, listening to the music, watching the needlework.
Ik vind het belangrijk om een beetje van downtime te nemen elke dag om gewoon iets te ontspannen, gerichte en mooi. Dat is waarom ik ben het delen van de video met je – in de hoop dat je op zijn minst de eerste twee minuten om naar te kijken, gaan zitten en niets doen, behalve BE.
