Almost done
I stopped knitting
A vinyl bag.

I have a tendency to find my eye drawn to plastic strings.The color is like silk thread,It's a simple string that is used in a variety of situations, such as as the string behind a picture frame or as packaging material, but it can creep up on you without you even realizing it, even if you're not specifically looking for it.

In terms of quality, it probably wasn't originally white like the newer ones. I think it got sunburned or deteriorated over time, turning this silky color. It has a nice color.

This bag is made of 100% Showa era vinyl string. What's more, it is still unfinished with the string still attached. What's more, it was stopped just one step away from being completed. I'm a simple person.I can't help but identify with the author and think, "Maybe he got bored halfway through?", but that may not be the case.

I wonder if there was some unavoidable reason, or if they just didn't want to finish it. I'm tossed around, wondering if it would be interesting if it was intentional. This is a work that was left unfinished, and it has become a device to imagine an endless story.
