Today, I’ve been catching up on the important discussion about racism and (mis-/non-) representation in the knitting community, a discussion that is long overdue this level of attention. Profound thanks to @astitchtowear, @su.krita, @thecolormustard, @ocean_bythesea, @tina.say.knits and all those who do the difficult, exhausting, risky work of putting their experience out there to bring attention to this deep and abiding problem in our community. We need to continue to listen, to think about what BIPOC in our community are saying, and to work to do better. I need to do this. The fibre arts community should be a welcoming space for everyone, but it won’t be without this work.
The last of my New Year’s Frog or Finish purge-o-rama. Pro: I love the colours and geometry. Con: The size quickly got out of hand; it’s not a shape I would wear; I haven’t knit a stitch on it in years. The yarn— @malabrigoyarn Superfine Merino—deserves better. I’ll find another way to use this idea. #knittersofinstagram #frogorfinish #clearingout
I’ve really enjoyed reading the @stitchmastery user interview series for insights into the inspirations and processes of some of my favourite designers. Now I’m in there, too, which is pretty freakin’ cool. Head to the link in their profile to see my interview, and if you haven’t already, do check out the others, too. (Photo: Velouria; pattern available on Ravelry.) #Repost @stitchmastery ・・・ This week we’ve published our latest Stitchmastery user interview which is with @eelliottknits! There’s a direct link in our profile - head on over and find out about her design process and use of the programme.
