Kunjina Tesfaye on Growth and Preserving #Artisanal Techniques.
#Handweaving, #embroidery and #fabric manipulation are design elements that communicate stories about Ethiopia. “If you’ve seen photos of #Ethiopians wearing the traditional white dress, it’s handwoven.”
Interview with Kunjina Tesfaye.
When Kunjina Tesfaye talks about UDET, her eponymous #fashion label Kunjina’s collection, growth radiates. #UDET is a Geez word meaning cycle. Inspired by Ms. Tesfaye’s personal experience, this collection explores fear, productivity guilt, and growth. “It’s like a butterfly’s story or growth from the first stage, from the caterpillar stage into becoming a butterfly. I’ve used that metaphor to explain how a person goes through these stages to flourish and become the person they want. It’s a cycle. It’s not a one-time thing.”
Since her debut as a twentysomething with a degree in construction technology, Ms. Tesfaye’s life and creative approach have evolved. “Every time I make a collection I’ve grown – my designs and the brand and the aesthetics, everything has changed or has grown.” Today, Kunjina has developed into a platform for local #artists. They lobby for growth, preserve traditional #handcrafting methods, and promote #ecofriendly practices.

I made a thing. Had this Red Heart "Irresistable" yarn just hanging around in a box for years, and figured I had to use it up. Got a tiny ball of the stuff left over, but it ain't a lot.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it. Colour works for me, but nothing I wear goes with a shawl at all. So for now, the bear gets it.
I am still looking for #vegan #creators
No matter if it's about #art #software #musicproduction #videoproduction #crocheting or other #handcrafting stuff.
If you are vegan and create something, let a post here and describe what you are doing.
Links to your shop, website, donation page or #youtube / #peetube channel are welcome!
Oh, Frauchen hat endlich die #Socken für den Mann fertig gestrickt!

#Stricken #knitting
Ah, it's that time in the knitting project where my eye starts wandering and I start thinking about what I'm knitting next.
If I do what I think I'm going to do - Purl Soho's Big Herringbone in an advent mini set - it's going to be stunning. And time consuming.
Why do I keep looking at projects that I cannot make easier by using the knitting machine?!
Ok so this is a bit of a "duh" moment, but I recently learned the best way to see if your almost done WIP (in jewelry) is actually finished exactly the way you want, is to take pictures of it. Close up. Lots of good lighting.
Nothing brings out the flaws like those pictures do.
Learned this the hard way turning in pics for my class. 😬
I'm tired but this is just so much fun for me...
There are now two of them... 🟩🟥
(Luckily, it doesn't take too long to crochet these down 😌)

Making coiled headpins dangles as part of a larger necklace project.
The rock crystal and blue sapphires will come off once I'm sure I've got a good matched set and the wires are tweaked more to my liking.
The coils will then be hammered flat, they'll be tumbled in stainless steel shot for a day or so, the stones put back on, then the uncoiled ends will be looped to hang off a ring as an ornamental bangle.
