  • Knitting Retreat
    Sugar Season Retreat Schedule and Class Descriptions FRIDAY EVENING (5:30-9:00): Gather at the Putney Cares Barn at 5:30 p.m. for a relaxed dinner featuring local produce. SATURDAY 9:00 am -12:00 pm Title: Introduction to Vertically Stranded Colorwork Description: Explore various ways that color can be added when contrasting stitches climb vertically from round to round. In this morning session we'll explore its sketchy history. Vertically stranded color work is used in Rovaniemi knitting, as a substitute for duplicate stitch in argyle, and it even appears in a Japanese stitch dictionary. We'll learn how to manage the strands and how to address the stitches so things operate smoothly for you. This is fun to do, and not difficult if only a couple rules are learned early. We'll play with simple zigs and zags, color between lace, and purl-only columns that look like caterpillars. These techniques do not inhibit the elasticity of the fabric. Most students will tackle three motifs during this session. Materials: Yarn will be provided. Handouts provided. To work in the round using worsted weight yarn and a circumference of about eight inches, bring whatever needles you are currently competent and comfortable using—DPN's, two circulars, or one 32" long circular for Magic Loop knitting. Choose one or two sizes smaller than you normally use with worsted weight wool—3.75 or 4mm/US 5 or 6, as we prefer snug stitches; blunt tipped tapestry needle. Homework: None. 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm Lunch at Putney Cares Barn, Tours of the Spinnery, visits to local artisans.

  • Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • Simple Loom Weaving Kit WE GATHER
    WE GATHER Simple Loom Weaving Kit WEGATHERGOODS.COM @WEGATHER YOU’RE A WEAVER NOW! You are about to take your place in a long, ancient history of one of the earliest textile techniques ever used by humans. Welcome! Weaving has been part of our human experience for at least 30,000 years and is one of the most important and widespread methods of making cloth, baskets, and other functional and fabulous objects. This Simple Loom Weaving Kit employs many of the same tools and techniques that people have been using for thousands of years. It’s up to you to make them yours! At its most basic, weaving is the interlacing of two sets of perpendicular yarns or linear elements. Woven textiles are generally stable and not very stretchy. They can be thick and rugged, light and delicate, and everything in between. There are countless dierent approaches to weaving, it’s rules and traditions, and some of those are shared in this booklet. Follow those that speak to you and make your own rules where necessary. As you learn and practice, you will find what works best for you. Here are a few suggestions to get you started: •Loom maintenance - Your loom and tools are lovingly cut from birch plywood, which sometimes has the propensity for splintering. If you find this happening, use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth those areas. •Even tension - Weaving is built upon tension. Try to keep this as even as possible, but remember that your goal is function, not perfection. •No knots - You almost never use an actual knot in weaving.
