Have you ever considered that knitting is a bit like magic? You're onto something! When we knit, it feels like we're casting spells and crafting enchanting clothing by wrapping and twisting yarn with our trusty needles. Each time we spin fibre, we're creating a special, protective thread that connects us to the person who will wear our creations. So, let's explore together how knitting can be seen as a kind of witchcraft!
Author Fayte Shuck is a queer trans non-binary knitter who resides in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of Canada home to the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Fayte lives with their fantastic cat Noodle who is 11 years young and a constant inspiration to the writing process. As a witch, Fayte draws on their ancestors from Slavic origin to guide them through their process. They believe it is the master weavers, seamstresses, and knitters in their lineage who shared the cosmic knowledge of knitting magic with them. It is their hope you find comfort and knowledge in their writing.
