I was watching Cold Cast last night. It's something to watch while =3D
knitting.=3D20

In this episode, a teenage Amish girl go to the big city and is =3D
murdered. And so the cold case team goes to investigate. The =3D
investigation takes them to an Amish community. The female detective is =3D
allowed into the house to talk to the very young wife. The male =3D
detective must wait out on the porch with the very young husband who is =3D
doing some wood carving. At first, the male detective is uncomfortable. =3D
By the time the female detective comes out of the house, the male =3D
detective is sanding a piece of wood.=3D20

Craft as a form of communication far deeper than words.=3D20

Meanwhile, I'm knitting a shawl. I bought a book about lace knitting and =
=3D
I'm using the pattern from the Christening shawl for the woman who wrote =
=3D
the book. I had trouble figuring out the pattern, so I decided to make =3D
up the pattern as I go. Craft as a form of communication that crosses =3D
huge age and physical area distances.=3D20
