Thanks for all the great feedback on the Sloper posts this week — I’m glad some of you found it worthwhile! I’m enjoying seeing the swatches and cast-ons starting to appear on the #sloperKAL feed. And holy wow, there’s already a finished sweater! (I told you it’s fast!) I cast on in the car on Wednesday and am hoping to get in a bunch of rows this weekend.
Meanwhile, here’s Elsewhere for you—
– A movie I’ll be seeing for the sweaters (thx, DG)
– What do knitting and heart surgery have to do with each other? (Thx, Jess)
– I love Jess Daniels’ Me Made May concept and her little hand-drawn infographic (image above, bottom)
– “The transitioning of half a million farmers across southern India to sustainable, organic methods has enabled [Project Pico] to bring their product back to the UK with a supply chain that is entirely traceable to the very seeds that grow the cotton.”
– 28 home sewers on why they do it
– … and as if I weren’t already obsessed with knitting Dalur (top)
SHOP NEWS: The fabulous Helga Isager book The Artisan is back in stock. And a heads-up for you: We’ve got a new neutral coming to the Field Bag lineup in a couple of weeks, and in conjunction with that we’re putting Toffee on hiatus. We’ve got enough in stock to last a little bit, but I wanted to give you fair warning in case you’ve had your heart set on it.
Have an amazing weekend!
