I’m so proud and slightly emo right now because THIS is my fiber family. Not because of a hashtag or trend but because of our love for fiber and a gal named Kristy bringing us together. 🙌🏼🧶🔥 To me- this is what #diversknitty looks like . . . Repost @ggmadeit ・・・ Whew!! This has been another week of work, needed work...work that must continue. When this started @knitstime reached out with the hope of filling IG with knitting hands to show our differences as well as similarities. Frida explained this initiative as “ourhandsthatstitch” read how she explained it below “#ourhandsthatstitch emphasizes what stitching should really be about; every loop is a boundless connection between people, through the knowledge and traditions shared between generations and spread inter-culturally; every stitch an important link in a network connecting producers, distributors, makers and wearers. Our diversity should not divide, but enrich. Let's be open to each other. Let's be creative, together. Let's make our hands convey this simple message. Change is in our hands!” Pow! Did you feel that? She said “CHANGE IS IN OUR HANDS” Last night while attending knit night at @stringthingstudio I barely knit, however, I did notice how different we all were, yet the same. So Luis, Felicia and I decided on this picture, because real change will need all of us #ggmadeit 📸 cred goes to my new nephew 🤗 @michael.vinnie #changeisinourhands #grateful #knittersofinstagram #thatknitlife

So listen...I want to say something about the important discussion I’ve been reading & listening to in the knitting community recently but I got scared because I’ve already been attacked on social media (bad). But the bravery of so many like @tina.say.knits @labienaimee and others inspired me. So I have just listened but now I want to share. A few months ago my friend @creativececi told me about the #diverseknitty movement on IG. I was so excited and have followed / found so many new humans. Now it seems the onion is peeled back and a deeper layer is revealed. My grandparents (who mostly raised me) fled countries where they were persecuted for their Jewish faith. My grandfather - who is my personal hero & role model- was one of 12 children but only 7 survived to reach America from Russia. I KNOW the cost for this life. Because of them it’s in my DNA to be inclusive. I had a rocky, but still privileged, childhood. There was ice skating and fancy parties for a time. But there was darkness too (saving that for Oprah). Also for much of my youth I was the only “white girl” I knew growing up in the Bronx & Harlem. I was often the minority. I learned early on that my whiteness is a free pass. Once when hanging out on the corner with friends, a policeman came up and called me over. I thought I was in trouble. I wasn’t. He asked me if I was ok or were “those kids” bothering me. I was confused. “Those kids” were my friends. “Those kids” were my team. But “those kids” were black and Hispanic and Puerto Rican and I was white. Confused, I told this all to my grandpa when I got home. He told me that my whiteness was why the cops were “concerned” and he told me to NEVER deny it but to work to be better. I KNOW it’s my job to be better and do better. I’ve tried each day to be grateful & open and inclusive judging people by their inner rather than their outer because that matters most. And while color may not “matter” to me, I can’t deny it matters and will keep trying to be part of the healing and creating a community of inclusion and diversity. Because the truth is vanilla is bland as f*%! but mint mocha butter pecan with all the sprinkles is way better! ❤️
When I was a young child I was given a ball of yarn and a crochet hook to “keep me busy”. I didn’t know what I was doing most of the time but the string, the yarn seemed magical and I imagined making many things. . Now I’m an adult and I still think yarn is magical. I can still be found off on my own with yarn and a hook (or needles). Maybe I was destined for this maker life or maybe it’s life coming full circle and me returning to the thing I always loved and always soothes my soul. . Whatever it is, I’m ever so grateful for whoever gave me that first ball of yarn. And for those who continue to support this journey - you guys - my heart is so full that this is my actual job. I just can’t believe it some days. I have so many ideas and can’t wait to bring them all to life and share with you! . THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF IT!! 🌈☀️✨👊🏼🙌🏼🦄 📷 @laurenctottenphotography for @shootmytravel . . . . . #stitchandhustle #grateful #letsstartmakingthings #ourmakerlife #brooklyn #nyc #calledtocreate #calledtobecreative #makersmovement #makerspace #fiberartist #fiberart #yarnlife #nycgirls #slowfashion #slowliving #maker
