Appreciation towards Nadine Goepfert for providing the following description:

手工编织毛毯有了更具个性化的染色方式。将各种颜色的油墨冻结成形状迥异的三维形体， 然后放置在平铺开来的毛毯上方，随着油墨在常温中的融化，墨汁滴在手工编织毛毯上，形成染色。这使得橡皮布手工编织毛毯这样的传统的，染色缓慢的工艺品在设计过程中融入了用户参与行为，得到创新。用户选择的冰块的色彩和形状对最终的呈现起着决定作用。

The principle of Coiceidence deals with the matter of ice and all it’s aggregate phases. It has been explored and utilised for the creation of unique personalized Designs for hand knitted blankets. The entire process can be set in motion using a pre-engineered construction, consisting of two horizontal frames. A knitted wool blanket is put on one of the two levels. A selection of various color inks are frozen in three-dimensional shapes and are placed in the favored adjustment on the lower and / or upper level of the construction. The melting does not only start the coloring process, it also allows the viewer to see the reconfiguration of the Ice as it melts and to hear the dropping of the inks. The colored ice melts and the warming wool blanket is now soaked with the cold inks. In this way an abstract accidental pattern is slowly been formed on the surface of the blanket. The blanket carries a label, displaying the section of the ice shapes and their available colours. The selected shapes are marked on the label by a stitched cross for further reference.

The hand knitted blanket itself is a traditional product, the innovative aspect of the blanket lies in the inconvenient, slow way of dyeing and the involvement of the end-user in the design process. The resulting blanket is “designed” through the initial choices made by the end-user in selecting the shapes and colours of the ice cubes and through the following act of melting in which coincidence plays the central role.
