Ouroboros

"Ouroboros was a mythical serpent
that swallowed its own tail, an embodied contradiction that must, according to logic, either grow ever larger on its miraculous diet or, just as miraculously, consume itself
and cease to exist."

–George B. Dyson

Ouroboros is a working title for a new work in progress. Yes, you're not imagining it, my yarn is back. This is the same yarn that was used for an old project called #thingsicandowithyarn

For this new project I've continued with the finger knitting and added even more length to my continuous strand of knitted yarn. However, I've also re-knitted the yarn through a large-scale version of a french knitting loom. The process is repetitive, obsessive, and cyclical. Just like the ouroboros serpent eating it's tail, the yarn continues to grow and change.
