Kis-knit has recently been the victim of a drive by Buddha-ing, a deliciously whimsical event that has prompted an email exchange ending in the query: What color, and what kind of yarn, would you knit a Buddha out of?
And since I cannot knit at all right now, and must type left handed due to a thumb injury (I gave my right hand a nasty yank on my hiking trip, catching it on my pack strap in full swing. 33 lbs my eye.), I’ve decided to just pass the question on to you. Leave a comment, tell me your dream knit buddha!
Pink and sparkle-y! Because I could. And I think on some level, Buddha would like it. Maybe way down, but it’s there.
Bronze silk. Bronze because it’s an amalgam of essential metals, and because its creation marked a step in our ability to change the world by using existing materials. Silk because of metamorphosis.
Of course, one could also go for orange and lime green fake fur — the Buddha would know that the process would be the important thing, not the object…
Cerulean blue. Why, I don’t know. Buddha blue, I guess.
The softest alpaca weathered sage green….
