Based on my ever-ongoing Wolf That Only You Can See series ♥︎

Rip Owen Carvour, you would've loved Coyote Stories by The Crane Wives.

If you're hesitating between unraveling or using a quick fix that will leave a mistake in your work, ask yourself these questions: Will it be visible... or will you be the only to know? Will a quick fix bother you forever...? Is the idea of unraveling so demotivating....? Do what feels best to you.

These wise words come from Lovely Lace Knits by Gabrielle Vezina. It is one thing if a garment does not fit, if it chokes you at the neck or binds your arms. Clothing that does not let your body move the way you want it to move is a curse. But if the mistake is a purely decorative one, as is the case with lace knits, you need to ponder Vezina's questions.

Cause if you end up despising the garment and won't wear it, or end up refusing to finish it in frustration, there is no point to all the effort you have already made. Better to figure out what you can live it, and get on with it. I daresay all makers need to decide what they can live with.

sometimes I do things besides library stuff, like making a comfy winter hat by unraveling an old and ugly sweater

A humane architecture does not only have the power to heal us. The very act of making it is itself a healing act for all of us. There are no shortcuts to beautiful form. If you stand in front of the faucet of your kitchen sink and look at the beautiful shape of the drop of water you can realize that it forms slowly as gravity works on the tiny bit of water. You can not make that shape mechanically. Nor can we make babies from adding together bits and pieces. The child forms slowly through a process of division and specialization of cells.

This is the essence of the process of unfolding: moving slowly step by step from a less to more differentiated space.

If I was working on a story that involved a longish hospital stay and lots of recovery in the Chicago retirement universe would you want it to be a loooooong and finished (I'm talking at least 20k words) one shot at posting or in 5k-ish chapters?

“the moon will sing a song for me, i loved you like the sun, bore the shadows that you made, with no light of my own, i shine only with the light you gave me” is OUT, “i once loved a tailor who took eager care of me, sewed together my loose ends with stitches neat and clean, but now my love is gone, and i am left unraveling” is IN
