So last week over on Twitter I asked a question. And here are the answers. (You can find Part 1 over here.)
Bonus answers!
Sylvie suggested “transcendental craft” as a name for this.
Judith left a comment that added What you wrote about is a sort of art therapy, where we can express ourselves in ways that help us heal. I know knitting means a lot to me, helping me center and relax in the midst of stress. However, I think sometimes helping others will allow us to open wounds and heal ourselves.
And around the web regarding craftivism-ishness:
Casper ter Kuile wrote an excellent post regarding “strategy and craftivism” here.
Heather who’s been tearing it up over at Counter Craft wrote an excellent post called Adventures in Mindmapping Craftivism *and* then let me know about this sweet post over at Trend Tablet called When Design and Craft Meet.
And because it’s Friday, here’s a lovely post over at EcoSalon called 20 Pickup Lines for Knitters (Thanks, @snufkin!)
