"Drawn to the tools, equipment, and history of weaving, they attended graduate school in the U. K. specifically for weaving and focussed on methodical explorations of structure, combining knitting and weaving to create fabrics in a variety of ways." rebrand.ly/zsd6qoo
"I can still see us so clearly: Me, dumping the tin of buttons onto the floor and sorting them into piles, sometimes by colour, sometimes by shape, sometimes by the number of holes in the middle." Catching My Breath: How Sewing Is Helping Me Grieve and Heal in our T.O.C.
How to Knit Your Grafts: Ribbing Patterns rebrand.ly/hovdsb4
"The annual event, held in various venues in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario, is part theatre and part fashion show, showcasing second-hand and altered clothing—and this year everyone is invited to contribute to the story unfolding on stage." rebrand.ly/fwt17r7
"Working with Carley as an exhibitor gave me a great sense of how much research goes into their work, particularly the cultural aspects of the fisheries and the ecological aspect of debris from the fishing industry that ends up on the shores." rebrand.ly/cu9n2lp
"I was born into my mom’s creative world: a world of quilting, embroidery, painting, and beading." Read more about Catching My Breath: How Sewing Is Helping Me Grieve and Heal, available in our T.O.c.
"I’m sure I will sew up different patterns in the future, but I will admit that fitting pants is not my strongest skill nor do I find it particularly interesting so, for now, I am sticking with making versions of the same pattern." Me Made May: rebrand.ly/v2ee5us

Well here's a nifty way to graft two pieces of stockinette fabric together! @wipinsanity shares a photo-illustrated tutorial on making a grafted seam by knitting rather than sewing. Studio Members, check it out 👉 rebrand.ly/a4qr716

I did part 1 of a thing! :)
Grafting is a nifty way of seaming two pieces of knitted fabric together while the stitches on both are live. @wipinsanity begins her series on how to *knit* a grafted seam with a focus on stockinette fabric: rebrand.ly/vhw6bk3

Kitchener was commander-in-chief of the British Army during the latter part of the South African Boer War, when the British and Canadian militaries were committing well documented atrocities against the Boers. @kateatherley on why we call it GRAFTING: rebrand.ly/aen0tlu
Again, please EMAIL Kate at [email protected] with your pitch. Craft projects or tutorials can be sketched and described; they do not (and should not) be completed at the submission stage. THANK YOU!
👉 A tutorial for inserting a zipper + a companion beginner pattern involving zipper insertion (looking for sewing OR knitting/crochet/weaving). 👉 An article or tutorial on decorative embellishment that may or may not involve mending.
