Notes

Artist statement: "When I think of families, I think of the scripture Mosiah 18:21 because the hearts of each member of a family don't have to be perfect to be knit together in unity and in love. They just have to choose to stay knit together in unity and love. I chose to create a multicolored scarf based on this scripture because the word unity makes me think of being bonded together, and love makes me think of consistently working together forever. This scarf has different colors all a part of the same skene of yarn stitched together working to do just that: to be knit together for unity and for love (or at least, to help keep the person warm). Families can have their differences, hence the differing colors, but those differences can make the scarf that much more meaningful or beautiful. Families can also have some connections that are tighter than others, like in the rows, and it will all be balanced and made right in the end (like when you pull the scarf after completing it). And lastly, families can all work together to stay unified and love each other, just like the yarn stays woven after tied off."
