The knitting is imperfect, sloppy with a hint of frustration. He doesn't knitting because he likes it. He does it because Mikodez knits. He learned it to be more like his brother.
The needles themselves hold his anger and tension, his fear at separation. The tie of the threads together was made with shaking fingers, revealing Istradez's worries at being unwound from his brother in the wake of Wiktor's story.
