I have an epic stack of links for you this round, so we better get started!
— Please read this one when you have time to sit with it: Navajo shepherds cling to centuries-old tradition in a land where it refuses to rain (thx, Katherine)
— And this: Physicists are decoding math-y secrets of knitting to make bespoke materials (thx, Martha)
— Are you doing the spring 10×10 challenge? This one is co-hosted by @selltradeslowfashion and @buyfrombipoc, hence the extra long hashtag. I’m sitting it out as usual (except the one time) but always love poring over the feed
— Seen Renée Gouin’s Women in Clothes (via @ebonyh) and Liisa Hietanen’s crochet humans? (thx, DG)
— Used Ravelry’s Road Trip Planner?
— “He has the gentle, attentive touch of someone washing a baby. Only with sharp metal blades.” (photo above right)
— Ode to avocado pink (photo above left)
— Immigrant Yarn Project looks amazing (thx, Carolyn)
— I’m loving all the offers of help for BIPOC trying to break into the industry, like this and this and this — if you’re aware of others, please link them in the comments!
— I’m a little obsessed with all the patchwork #wikstenhaori jackets, such as Edina’s and Arianna’s
— Amy Palmer’s amazing Captain Marvel sweater
— This video of screenprinters in India adding layers of color to yardage
— This sentence: “She knows love is often a few rows short of perfection but keeps you warm anyway.”
— and this miniature style muse
If you haven’t seen all the great responses on Wednesday’s Q for You — or haven’t weighed in — don’t miss that, either.
Happy weekend, everyone!
IN SHOP NEWS: For the first time this year, I think, we’ve got all three colors of the Town Bag in stock, all three colors of the waxed canvas Field Bag (camo! plum!) and all four colors of the plain canvas Field Bag. (Although very few of some, so use that Notify Me button if you run into it!)
