f.o.: resist hat #4.
This one is my best yet. I think my tension was really spot on and this hat shines if you actually knit it up using the suggested yarn–Quince and Co. Finch. This one used sabine as the main color and canvas as the contrasting. The dark and light really pop! so this one, I’m keeping…

wip | (yet another) resist hat.
I love these Resist hats. I’ve knit four of them already–so why not a fifth? This one is knit using Quince and Co. Finch in sabine for the main color and canvas for the contrasting. This hat knits up really quick, so if you’re looking for some handmade holiday items as we wind down, this…

f.o. | resist hat no.2
Yet another Resist Hat by Jess Schreibstein for Mild Woman. I love this one–knit up using two skeins of Knit Picks palette I had in my stash in the peony and oyster heather color ways. I could knit these in a million colors. See more of my resist hats here. Have you made one?

f.o. | resist hat no. 1
I have been eyeing this Resist Hat by Mild Woman for about a year–and the pattern was finally released last month. So of course, I dropped everything currently on the needles and knit this one up in a day. The main color is Brooklyn Tweed Loft in soot and the color work is done with…

f.o.: beaded resist earrings
This summer, I cranked out these drop peyote earrings that say RESIST on them. They are bold and loud. I really loved them. My sister helped me with the design and then I executed on the pattern. The drop on these is 3-4 inches. Resist.

A woman of many hats?
As Herman Melville once so brilliantly noted, “Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand…

sketchbook | defend.
I’ve been working on a First 100 Days sketchbook as a way to address my pent up anger and to try and put this time, and these feelings, into my artwork and express. I recently made a #nodapl block print–an issue extremely close to me as a Native American. It should be an issue important…

print | sketchbook
This is one of my latest block prints that’s got me thinking and wanting to print it everywhere. It just needs fabric. I tested it in my First 1oo Days sketchbook, which is a project I am working on to help me process and make art as part of my creative resistance. I call this…

currently reading, 6.10
I’m kind of the biggest book slut around. People know this to be true about me. As unfortunate as they may think it–I make bedfellow with many a book. I’m not just a reader and then a returner. I’m definitely a collector, housing multiple editions of the same book with different flap jackets. And then…

Wasn’t talking ’bout me…
Another day, another book. Seriously; I have a problem. An obsession, of sorts. I recently scooped up this pile, which includes two Deluxe Anniversary Editions of books I already own (Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein) which can’t be resisted thanks to their kitschy cover art. What’s more, there’s Dian Fossey’s Gorillas…

Inspiration is a verb…?
Another day, another obsession born. Enter A Verb for Keeping Warm, a yarn shop and blog that I recently discovered and now can’t stop reading and adoring. All of their beautiful yarn colorways are created with organic, sustainable, natural dyes, which makes them extra gush worthy. Plus, they have an extensive inventory of fibers. Yarns…

Inspiring Lil’ Worm…
Photo Credit: Sandra Juto The ever-amazing Sandra Juto, whose blog I follow religiously, is producing these adorable little scarflets she’s calling Neck Worms. And they have inspired me to make my own scrap garter stitch scarf. I have loads of half skeins, etc., laying around, and it would be perfect for them–not that I really…
