Not enough to seek out other people's snarls, but I can definitely get in a zone and enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>As I figure it, the task is first to loosen, loosen, loosen. So I find the snarliest tightest bit, and the loops that are part of it that have access to other yarn, and I loosen, loosen loosen. I keep looking for tight, and bring it loose. Gradually, the ways in which it is snarled become apparent, and I can find ways to unsnarl. Sometimes that's very local, moving individual strands. But more often it's identifying large snarled subsets of yarn that can be moved relative to one another and made less tangled as a group. Slowly, slowly, loosening, loosening, standing back, assessing, coming in, shifting, loosening, loosening, drawing out, shifting clear, then winding up separately. Quite lovely, really. Although I must admit that sometimes I walk away in disgust or frustration several times in there ... lovely with thorns, perhaps.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035800758269106583noreply@blogger.com
