Ok, I LOVE this book and anticipate purchasing it in the near future. It is so inspiring and radical and new to me ideas! Really, I am quite excited about this!

There seems to always be a gap between "art" and "craft" and yet I feel like I belong in both categories. I have been torn though from craft due to a lack of function and being more decorative. I love this book for honoring what I have always known but forgot that sometimes it isn't about the end product and craft can be more than decorative. It can really, really say something.

There are sections that are too far out there for me (flying cunts) but I can appreciate where the artist is coming from and their message. This is such a exciting thought process! I wonder if there are any radical crafters around me?… (altro)

Adult nonfiction; knitting/social activism. If you are a knitting fanatic and will eagerly devour anything related to knitting, this is for you.

There are a few ideas for making a positive impact with your knitting (knit scarves and hats for the homeless; blankets for animals at the shelter; knit tree and car-antenna cozies to brighten up certain corners of your neighborhood; knitting in public makes other knitters feel good!) There are also a very few knitting patterns included.… (altro)
