Stages on the Path
(Meher Baba standing)
37.5"X15"
This is my second attempt of knitting a full body figure. The background is done in 3 yarn technique , the rest is st.st.
Usually I ask Baba about everything - which picture to knit next, which yarn, needles and gauge to use with it. While Baba usually likes His sadra to be plain white cottony yarn, this time He insisted on an old, somewhat shiny yarn that I had for so many years I did not even know where I bought it. + I only had 2 little balls of it (not even a full skein).
Sure enough the yarn was not nearly enough...and there was nothing like it to be found anywhere (maybe it's yarn I bought in Japan, years ago, before I came to Baba). And that's when the game begins:
- Baba, would you like this yarn? - No.
- This one? - No...and so on.
The result here is what I thought Baba wanted, and the stripes of colors are one reason why I call it 'stages on the path'.
The other reason is that some pictures have and area - not necessarily big - when I knit and knit, but it seems like for days I do not manage to progress out of it. I call these 'stages on the path'. Here it was the area around Baba's knees.
