What is really hand made is the question that I want people to think about when they see this movie. If I knit with the yarn that I bought and then used a ball roller instead of my hands to wind the yarn into a ball, does that still make the product hand made, is it still original, are the thoughts that go into the process of making this scarf or sweater as genuine. I also want the viewers to think about taking the easy way out versus the long and hard way, does using technology, while it makes our lives easier, make us less connected with the world? Or is the fact that we now have the ability to have a global connection with any one out there mean that we were closed off before. By rolling this ball am I disconnecting myself from the sincerity of my creation?



In life we put on many faces and mask depending on the situation that one finds them in. I have a face that I put on with make up and professional clothes when I have an interview. I have face that I only show my close friends, one for my parent and one when I am with both. I have a face for class and a face for work. My face and my voice change when I go to Texas to see my grandparents and that mask can take a while to leave for my Boston or college one. By removing the clear facemask, I am shedding one layer of “skin” or mask that I was and put on. Is this mask the real me, are any of the faces we put on the really us or are they all a part of us is there really one true representation of our selves
