Mid-November Friday

A few fun little fibery tidbits today…

Kate was telling me about an article she wrote for Colossal about a Navajo weaver who weaves computer processor patterns. They’re pretty amazing & I thought you might like to take a look, too! The weaver is Marilou Schultz, and she just happens to share my birthday! (No doubt she had a crap birthday this year, too.) In doing a little research of my own, I found that she’s also been an instructor at Rhinebeck.

Speaking of Colossal, they had some interesting things in yesterday’s email (besides the Samurai backpack). If you scroll down a bit, you’ll find a section called SWEATER WEATHER, highlighting four knitted works (and links to previously published full articles — one of them also written by Kate).

I have a toolbar shortcut to Kate’s author page on Colossal and it’s fun to check it out every once in a while — so many interesting things out there.

And, y’know, just because it’s in the same vein, Kate also wrote an article for the most recent issue of Selvedge “about Ernesto Neto’s expansive crocheted installations that address colonial transatlantic trade, Brazilian craft and performing arts heritage, and a fundamental desire to bring people together.” I was lucky enough to receive a copy of that issue and WOW… what a treat.

Finally, because I didn’t intend for this to be all about Kate, some recent work from Malina.

She’s entering the story phase and I couldn’t love it more.

Have a good weekend.
