CinemaSerf7 Jan 28, 2024For some reason, the start of this engagingly informative animation reminded me of "Bagpuss". Remember? Anyway, what we have takes a rather unique approach to the palliative and curative powers of making things with wool. Knitting or crocheting. Using a series of stop-motion scenes we see just how flexible this yarn can be - making everything from jumpers to table clothes to fish! The accompanying narration comes from various addicts of this much more benign needle, illustrating just how important and therapeutic this craft can be when dealing with stress and difficulty and how effective it can be at calming and, of course, delivering something that might actually be useful - even if it does have the odd hole or dropped stitch. Worth ten minutes, I'd say.
