Korean Knitting
Today I cast on and knit one row for a tank I'm making. I am using a very thin yarn, double-stranded, that has a tendency to twist upon itself. It had gotten into a tangled mess.
While at a friend's house, I started to untangle it. His wife gasped and asked me where I learned to knit while she helped me untangle it.
Afterwards, she brought out four beautiful sweaters, dresses, and outfits that her daughter has. Her mother made them. I sneaked a look at the seams—breathtaking.
Master said, "My wife mother, used make hanboks [the traditional Korean clothing]. Not now, but before."
I complimented the work as best I could in Korean and said words in English knowing the intent would be understood even if the words weren't.
This work was beautiful.
