Here's my emergency #Bookspin list for May.
Couldn't come up with anything better. Been battling with a bad phase of depression for the last weeks. Got new meds some days ago, spent yesterday night at the ER (because of an allergic reaction or 'cause they are too strong...).
Now at my doctor's.
I yearn for things to get better and my life to get back on track...

Unraveling: What I Learned about Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater | Peggy Orenstein

pick

I loved the premise of this: during Covid, the author sets out to make a sweater from scratch. Not just knitting it, but going all the way back to the starting point by learning to shear a sheep—and then learning all the other steps in between. I expected more about the process of making, but there was a fairly even balance between the mistakes and triumphs of shearing, spinning, dyeing, and knitting, and the author‘s reflections along the way. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) Orenstein includes her own musings on grief, in the wake of losing her mother & watching her father‘s decline due to dementia. She also explores context I‘d never thought much about: where exactly do our clothes come from and what is involved in textile production? Her focus on sustainable practices when it comes to clothing was illuminating. This was a low pick for me—it touched on so many topics that I wanted to explore in more depth.⤵️ 2w

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) But at the same time, it wasn‘t the author‘s objective to delve deeply into grief, or the impact of the clothing industry on climate change, or any of the many other topics she touches on. I enjoyed her journey and it gave me food for thought as well as further exploration. Thank you to @monalyisha for another great #AuldLangSpine recommendation! This is one I‘d never have come across if it hadn‘t been on your list! (edited) 2w

Stitch by Stitch | Jane Bull

pick

Jane Bull is an experienced writer of crafting and activity books for children. This introductory book to embroidery, needlepoint, patchwork, appliqué, knitting and crochet is aimed at readers aged 7+ and is easy to follow with clear photographs and patterns to use. I came away feeling more confident with basic stitches and adult care-givers who are also looking to pick up these skills can do them alongside younger readers.
