My Japanese Samurai scarf

which never has been to Japan

& doesn´t speak Japanese either...

 

but a friend´s friend moved to Japan

quite a long time ago

(in the early nineties)

& left me some bags with yarn

& unfinished knitting business,

Even though I could have opened

my own yarn shop even back then

I was very fond of the donated material,

but still it took a while

until the high-end yarn

started to communicate with me

 

So, one day I came across the bag

with my friend´s friend

abandoned knitting project

& since I still couldn´t figure out

what her visions & intentions were,

I had the idea to grab the pieces

& finish & remodel them in my way,

following the story the material

told me along the path

 

Since I am a great admirer of Japan

& Japanese culture as well,

- I even love the sound

of their beautiful language,

even if I don´t understand a word-,

I decided to dedicate at least

the title of this model to these great people.
