Elvers by Moonlight

By David Knowles

A journal of everyday auguries and under-reported miracles

The language is at once generous and transcendent while somehow remaining humble, of the earth. Poetry of the highest order - I highly recommend it 🐇🌿🌘

The Gusset

By Sarah C Swett

Field research in the expanse between the tactile and the intangible; noticing yarn, light, line, and things that want to be made with the materials at hand. In short--tales of a yarnish life with Beryl, my dog.

Creativity at its absolute best. Reading The Gusset always brings me joy and restores my abiding faith in the power of play and discovery.
