A very odd title for a post on a blog about knitting and crocheting. I freely admit that. But I recently read an article about what motivates people. Specifically the motivation behind Gilligan's Island, what caused it to be, Sherwood Schwartz in college was intrigued by the politics of how people get along with each other and wondered what might happen in a confined space or on a desserted island. This sparked a thought of naked and afraid and what I could bring to the table in a situation something along those lines. Then the thoughts turned to.....if I was on a dessered island what would I want with me?
I suppose it would be futile to want a boat to get off said island. So if I could have only a foot locker full of yarns and tools, what might it be? I know right now that list would change over time.
I think if the island is tropical, I would appreciate linen, cotton, hemp in dk weight and finer.
I would want a couple of Barbara G. Walker's stitch dictionaries. I think Ann Budd's book of patterns for any size yarn would be great. I would want a complete set of circular needles and a complete set of crochet hooks. I would have to have 2 crochet stitch dictionaries of comparable quality. I would also want a comparable book of crochet patterns like Ann Budd's for knitting. I don't know if these exist. But these are what I want. With basic pattern templates and stitch dictionaries, you can usually create anything.
In another time I might do this with a different climate. I know I can come up with a boatload of ideas
