Knits to Restore Nature
|
Waterwoman Knits projects serve regeneration and restoration of ecosystems and the people in them.
|
My dream is to allow the gift of knitting that passed from my grandmother's hands to mine to serve restoration and regeneration of ecosystems
and the people in them. Join me in Virtual Maker Circles Drop me a note to express interest. All fiber makers are welcome! Knitting not required. We keep company for 30-40 minutes. Make your favorite tea, wear your pajamas. No pressure. |

Join a Gathering, Heal Our Earth
For anyone whose idea of joy is being nurtured by the natural world, creating at your own pace, and sharing with and learning from other fiber artists.
I want to invite us to step beyond the four sides of the mood board as step one of design and open to the view that everything in the natural world, including other humans, is a teacher and source for inspiration. It is my intention that participants come away with a renewed fire of creative inspiration, perhaps greater understanding of themselves, and a nature-connection practice to take home with them. |
Waterwoman Knits will contribute a portion of any patterns sold and workshop fees to plant trees globally, seed saving libraries, and ecovillages in the African Sahel.
Links in buttons below, should you wish to contribute directly to any of these efforts on Earth's behalf.

Honor our roots. Join us.
My grandmother was a remarkable person who gave me the lifeline of knitting as a child.
Another early memory I carry is asking trees for advice and watching their reply in the wind.
I want to gather these two simple threads in the fabric of my life and invite you to join me to follow what inspires you in the natural world.

Connected Imagination
If you are happiest knitting or making with fiber and wandering in nature, I invite you to join our virtual and in-person gatherings after pandemic restrictions ease. We will explore and imagine design elements from our natural surroundings. We will remember and honor our roots, our grandmothers or teachers who taught us, and the trees who breathe with us. Half of each workshop day will be walking at our own pace in nature, following what calls our heart, the other half sketching design ideas and/or knitting. More to come.
