Knitting • £5
The lowest or most unsuccessful point in a situation.
An asymmetrical triangle. A deep, saturated teal. Simple, familiar, repetitive stitches, sitting at odds with each other. Yarn held double for a faster, plumper knit. No fancy techniques, no additional notions, no complicated instructions.
Nadir is a pattern you can reach for at your lowest point – when your knitting mojo has left the building, when your life insists that your focus is elsewhere, when the only way is up.
Once completed you’ll have acknowledged life’s sharp edges and dark recesses, and channeled them into a thing of comfort that draws you close and holds you warmly as you take steps up and out to clearer, sunnier times.
