Today we have another give away — this time a book from my library — a gently owned book named “Slow Knitting a journey from sheep to skein to stitch” by Hannah Thiessen. It chronicles her journey from the “getting it done quickly” attitude with her knitting to slowing down and deep her understanding of all the processes of her practice. The book is a mixture of patterns, essays from a variety of professionals in the industry and beautiful photographs. Companies include Green Mountain Spinner and O-Wool. The patterns include lots of sweaters but also shawls and cowls and hats and mittens. Hannah divides her book with the themes of “source carefully” produce thoughtfully think environmenta lly experiment fearlessly and explore Openly. This is a book you slow down with and come back too.
