Clearly motives behind needlework are many

"Lambs, sewing needles, knitting pattern catalogs and sweater models...I think those sweater catalogs and the deep stylish hopes they engendered in knitters trapped in domestic situations are erotic in the sense of Pre-history, caves, cave painting, ritualistic acts for survival." Jim Cooper

LOUISE BOURGEOIS: "The needle is used to repair damage. It's a claim to forgiveness. It is never aggressive, it's not the pin."
