Hope the weekend includes some coffee brewing, outside or in. For all you outdoor food and coffee lovers, @latigocoffee is hosting a giveaway of this custom @miir mug that I did the artwork for and @semi_rad and my new book Best Served Wild: Real Food for Real Adventures. Not only that, but you get a bag of beans too!! #coffeeoutside #bestservedwild #latigocoffee #miirmoments

I've been working on two various stories this week that involve taking a serious look synthetic textiles, and my brain has been thinking a lot about "plastic clothing" and our cultural addiction to oil in all its many forms. Our entire system is based on extraction instead of regeneration, and quite frankly, it's overwhelming. So here's a tiny wool sweater as a tiny act of resistance. .

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by deadlines and instead of working on them dream of fika breaks with friends and make tiny papercuts instead. .

Not ready for summer to end but when it does, at least I'll be fully prepared with this sweater I finally finished over the weekend. Made with @greenbowfarm wool, all the different stripes are naturally different colors of wool thanks to beautiful Icelandic sheep. The sheep are raised east of the cascade mountains in Washington, which basically makes this a local sweater. We talk a lot about eating local, and very rarely about wearing local, even though both are dependent on agriculture and producers. Unfortunately, regional systems of fiber and clothing production have waned in the wake of industrialization and mass produced cheap wares made with underpaid labor. But there's a revival afoot, one that is about regeneration and not extraction. If you are interested in learning more, @fibershed_ is a great resource and also working hard to advocate for building up regional fibersheds across the country. You can also check out @foodandfibersproject a multimedia collaboration I am doing with @amytropolis and @jennygnichols where we are working on covering this topic. What else can you do? Buy second hand! Find local fiber producers and learn to knit! Buy from brands who treat the earth and their workers with respect! Treat what you wear with as much thought as what you eat! A friend @amybessyes wrote an article this week about how discussions of sustainability tend to revolve around environmental sustainability, but we also need to include social sustainability too. And I would add to that cultural sustainability as well. Knitting a sweater takes a lot of time, and sure, you could go out and buy one for much cheaper. But there is something about continuing a heritage of fiberarts, using my hands to produce something wearable, something that generations of women before me have done. .
