As the final research assignment for ASIA 495: Folk Cultures in the Asian Diaspora, we were asked to think of an item of folklore that is present in our own lives, or the lives of those around us, and create a documentary about it. I chose knitting (and other related or similar fibre arts). The documentary was constructed according to folklorist codes of conduct and direct, respectful research & documentation of folklore from knitting community consultants.
