And yet, in taking two sticks and using them to loop one long string in a way that makes something new — something that has no real purpose besides my own enjoyment of it, whether that’s a scarf for someone else, or a raglan cardigan that I’m not sure I’ll ever wear — I scratch the itch to feel productive without ever attaching financial value to that time. Raglan’s not particularly my style either, but that’s fine because I have fallen into a trance with knitting. What I didn’t expect would come as a bonus of all this knit 1, purl 1 action is further rehabilitation from capitalist pressure, hence the opening primer to this column. There are illustrated instructions for making socks, scarves and sweaters-but you'll also find ideas for creating babysuits, scrunchies, T-shirts and even a prom dress.

Europe's hippest textile genius throws the rulebook out the window with a knitting book like never before. It’s almost as if fatigue has liberated me in slow-motion, dragging me under the covers to a more anarchic and horizontal stance. Great for both beginner and advanced knitters, it contains a vast array of interesting designs from jumpers, dresses and kids clothing to unique accessories such as scrunchies, socks and scarves.
