Beschreibung

In "Knitting, Crochet, and Netting, with Twelve Illustrations," Eléonore Riego de la Branchardière offers a comprehensive guide that intertwines practical instruction with the artistry of fiber crafts. This text, written in the Victorian period, showcases a unique blend of detailed illustrations and rhythmic prose, reflecting the era's emphasis on craftsmanship and domesticity. Riego de la Branchardière's approach not only serves to teach techniques but also celebrates the creativity inherent in these handicrafts. The book stands as a testament to the artistic merit of knitting and crochet, positioning them as legitimate forms of expression within the broader literary landscape of craft literature at the time. Eléonore Riego de la Branchardière, an accomplished needleworker and an influential figure in the world of women's crafts, wrote this book amid a cultural shift that acknowledged women's contributions to domestic art forms. Her own experiences as a creator and teacher fueled her desire to both empower and educate other women through accessible crafting techniques. This personal connection to her subject matter resonates throughout her writing, as she emphasizes the joy and satisfaction derived from these crafts. I highly recommend "Knitting, Crochet, and Netting" to both novice and experienced crafters alike. This book not only enhances practical skills but also invites readers to appreciate the aesthetic and historical significance of fiber arts. Riego de la Branchardière's thoughtful instructions and rich illustrations will inspire creativity and foster a deeper connection to these enduring crafts.

The Crossing

Sophie Matterson

An inspirational an amazing memoir about a woman who gave up everything she knew to start her own camel saddlery and do a camel trek across the Australian Outback. 
 
In April 2020, as the world began to lock down due to Covid-19, Sophie began her own form of extreme social distancing. From April 2020 - December 2021 she walked with her five camels from the most westerly point of Australia to the most easterly, with a six-month break in Coober Pedy when the conditions grew too hot to continue. 
 Along the way she met hundreds of kind strangers - she required permission to cross every single piece of land, and often they'd make the effort to meet her with additional supplies to support her journey. The red dirt of the outback seeped into her pores and her appreciation for the beauty of Country and the ways we can observe and better understand its subtle changes only grew as she walked.  
She sometimes went weeks at a time without seeing a soul due to the movement restrictions in place for Covid-19 prevention in Central Australia. Halfway through the trek, she fell in love with a baker called Jimmy in the Flinders Ranges: some of their first dates involved him driving her to drop-off points, and delivering food and supplies every four or so weeks. Jimmy walked the final section of the journey with her, marshalling traffic to allow Sophie and the camels to cross roads and highways as they drew closer to the coast.

WALKING EUROPE'S EDGE -...

Stephen Powell

Portugal is both a celebrated and an unknown land. Millions come to enjoy its beaches and the fashionable coastal cities of Lisbon and Porto. In this sense it looms large in the minds of many. But its out-of-the-way places, its turbulent history and contemporary challenges are little-known outside of the country's boundaries. 
From autumn 2018 to spring 2019, British journalist Stephen Powell traveled the length of Portugal, following a zigzag path of nearly 1,500 kilometers on foot. Away from the mass tourism, he wanted to form his own unhurried impressions of this very distinctive country. 
He discovered a very mixed reality. The dark side was the blight of rural exodus that is emptying so many villages. But he also found a profoundly generous, warm-hearted people with time to converse - a gift that is not found everywhere. 
"Stephen Powell's beautifully written account of his life-changing walk through Portugal enriches the reader with his insights and impressions of the country's history, culture, scenery and spirit. For me, the book was a fascinating journey of discovery through Portugal's lesser-known provinces..."
