Abstract

This paper applies Juul’s (2013) account of failure in videogames to an analysis of hand knitting to argue that there are similarities and differences between videogame play and textile craft practice, specifically through a case study of Unravel (Coldwood Interactive 2016) and Unravel Two (Coldwood Interactive 2018).
