I Heard somebody say she is `weather knitting`, and my thoughts went wild, Does she knit CLOUDS and add Beads as raindrops?. The Rainbow can be knit as an I-Cord, as can the Sun rays. But how does one knit wind ??? Any ideas? mirjam
snipped-for-privacy@actcom.co.il spun a FINE 'yarn':
Mirjam, The same way one would knit ocean waves, RIPPLES???? Just a thought... Hugs, Noreen
Mirjam spun a FINE 'yarn': and a thought provoking query:
Perhaps the same way I would attempt to convey moving water (ocean waves, babbling brook, rushing river) = I'd use RIPPLES! Just a thought! Love, Noreen.
Interesting idea Noreen , i thought of wind maybe as a kind of very open Net with soft long streams of soft almost invisible threads . What other ideas? have you Ladies ??? mirjam
Mirjam,
I have seen pictures of old tapestries that use swirls to represent wind. I don't know if swirls can be knitted though.

Swirls are easy in the round, just decrease; for wind and laciness, add yarnovers that don't quite make up for the decreases. If the idea is not to piece things together but knit it all in one long sweep, then swirls can still be knitted using some of the curving shapes in lace edgings.

It is lovely that you all Help wth ideas , i am only thinking theoreticly about Which Kind of knitting could express such Natural phenomenas ,,, But if it will be in an art object to must be in a straight object ,,,,,,, i have done swirls in a sweater once , i don`t think of it as portraying winds ,, i would go for some net but it would be shorter and longer parts maybe use parts with much thinner thread [ sewing thread , and than increase again to knitting cotons and wools Wind is something that has a Pulse , it is stronger and softer .... But i am glad you all give it som,e thoughts.. THANK YOU mirjam
Love the ideas all of you have mentioned. Due to very little -if any- creativeness, I can't add to the list. :/ But, I can picture in my mind what you have suggested.
AHA Glynna But you HAVE a Creative mind , If you can picture some of our suggestions in you mind !!!!!! And the road from havong a picture in one`s mind to actually try and make it ,,, is very close ,,,, mirjam
Aha, Mirjam, You got me there! Perhaps I should have said that my original thoughts/ideas are few. Once a suggestion is made, I can build on it.
All you need is one tiny idea, and you can make Anything you WANT !!!! mirjam
You're right, Mirjam. I'll remember that. It's the power of postitve thinking!
YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN mirjam
