Storyteller's Toolbox 2

34cm x 13cm x 12cm

 

Description

A two-tier wooden box, filled with pencils and needlework tools, all with knitted covers.

 

Themes, comments & storylines

The pencil with its close-fitting French-knitted woollen cover, carries its message on this very sleeve: a hybrid methodology of text and textiles, and the latter keeping the former warm and snug.

While the function of the pencils and various hooks is not impeded by the knitted sleeve, the knitting needle covered in knitting becomes a useless, yet by no means meaningless, artefact.

One out of three storyteller's toolboxes: the first one to capture the senses, the second one to knit comfort and curiosity, the third to snip, cut and unpick.
