Mulching

By Isabelle Elena

A space for confronting the environmental crisis with pragmatism and hope.

Isabelle's reflection on Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweet Grass" left me feeling profoundly connected. I have always loved "things" as though they were speaking to me. And, in fact, they do. Isabelle reminded me of this through her writing.

26th Avenue Poet

By 26thAvenuePoet (Elizabeth)

Poems that greet you with "Hey, look at that."

The Gusset

By Sarah C Swett

Field research in the expanse between the tactile and the intangible; noticing yarn, light, line, and things that want to be made with the materials at hand. In short--tales of a yarnish life with Beryl, my dog.

Fall In Love With Your Writing

By Charlotte Rains Dixon

Write every day, brainstorm through blocks, craft your story. Create a sustainable writing practice that results in publishable work.

Charlotte is not only as crazy about yarn as I am, but she also writes very useful essays about writing, procrastination, and making time for your work. She feels like an old and wonderful friend!

The Villager

By Tom Cox

New writing on landscape, music, books, folklore, psychedelia, the natural world and other misty magical things outside the mainstream.

Tom Cox writes with great empathy about the things he sees and the people who make him more curious about the world. His writing is energetic, funny, generous, and poignant. I look forward to each new letter he sends.

:: fieldnotes from a tidewandering journeywoman ::

By India Flint :: fieldnotes

these fieldnotes embrace stories about making things with cloth and paper, travels with needle, thread, paints and notebook, my ongoing love for printing with leaves, and my compulsion to dip my toes in the ocean whenever the opportunity arises

India shares my deep love of family stories and making connections to the past, present, and future through stitching and textiles. She is a brilliant storyteller and also offers guidance on dyeing, stitching, and transforming cloth. Enjoy!
