The detective & the jumper - an update



Previously on this blog: The knitted detective

The Killing II has now arrived on our screens, and the jumper is yet again taking centre stage, as Ginny Dougray reveals on the Radio Times blog:

'I've only seen the first two episodes - and am gripped, once again - but cannot help remarking on The Sweater, which is not the beloved Faroese, black-on-white knit of old but a cheery, cherry-red. "There's this rule, you know, in the bones of every person doing what I do, that you should never give the audience what they want," says Grabol. "It's like an artistic law - you shouldn't repeat yourself, because then you're dead creatively. So there's a sense of 'They want the jumper? Well, they're not going to get the jumper!' "

one day soon I'm coming back with a cup of coffee and some peace to read your blog from top to bottom. I love your thoughtful writing the little details you just capture the way fabrics and textile weave into our memories and experiences of life.

People say smells conjure the strongest associations with the past. But fabric holds memories through touch, sight, smell, sound all in one. x thanks
