Highly recomend:
Knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting—throughout history, these and other forms of textile work have often been dismissed as merely “women’s work” and attached to ideas of domesticity and obedience. Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter, Nicole Nehrig wonderfully explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power. When their voices were silenced and other avenues were closed off to them, women used the tools they had—often a needle and thread—to seek freedom within the restrictive societies they lived in.

Spanning continents and centuries, WITH HER OWN HANDS brings together remarkable stories of women who have used textiles as a means of liberation, from an eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered samplers to teach girls math and geography to the Quechua weavers working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the Miao women of southern China who, in the absence of a written language, pass down their histories in elaborate “story cloths” to a midcentury British women’s postal art exchange. Textiles have been a way for women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic independence, create community, process traumas, and convey powerful messages of self-expression and political protest.

Heartfelt and deeply moving, WITH HER OWN HANDS is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories—and a testament to their resilience.

I want to stay open .
As hard and as frustrating it can get, OOMSC is the only thing I own. It's the only thing that keeps me sane and gives me a sense of purpose.

🧶🌱🐷The theme colours for this year’s Farm Transparency Project Dominion march are red & white. Will you be attending the march this Friday, March 28? I crocheted a blood brooch to symbolise the slavery & slaughter of animals(It’s my own pattern). Numbers, voice & action matters - so join us. It maybe a few hours from your day but it will be a difference of a lifetime for the animals
