This journal begins as a record of a school project exploring themes of self, community, and global perspectives as a journey of discovery. To tie these themes together, I knit various garments and items while considering readings and media pieces on these themes. It began for me when I knit an item for myself - something that I have rarely done in a lifetime of knitting. This act of self-nurturing made me re-think how I go about creating as gifts of love for others, and how important it is to give yourself that same gift of love. Each of the items I knit, whether for myself, a friend, or a stranger, is created with love and intention. The simple act of turning string into cloth can convey caring in a tangible way. Using this methodology to study global affairs is breaking my heart, but in ways that help me to grow into a better person.
