Hello all, Lucia here. I’ve been thinking about my past a lot lately since Lisa and I have been planning our future as knitwear designers w...
To understand this story (to understand me), you first need to know that I am a lifelong overachieving nerd who has historically harbored a related distaste for activities that I’m not already good at—a nerd who’d unwittingly spent 20+ years chasing those intoxicating gold stars & straight-A report cards hampered by an unmanaged disability. Over that time, I’d also whittled my focus down to the area where I most consistently excelled: academia, specifically scholarly writing and analysis. The art classes were the first thing to go sometime around middle school, then in high school I dropped the piano, and come undergrad I’d also given up acting in plays and doing a lot of fancy cooking. (I’d never really given sports a chance, save that one season of JV Field Hockey I played under duress.) Quite unsurprisingly given all that, when I came down with a massive, long-overdue case of writer’s block over the summer of 2009, its existence threatened my sense of self-worth and left me without my most cherished coping mechanism: the catharsis of the writing process.
So what did I decide to do? Well, naturally, I thought this would be a great time to quit smoking! Yeah, I went cold turkey on tobacco, alcohol, and sugar all at the same time and then was somehow shocked that I couldn’t stop crying. I found a psychiatrist who almost immediately had me fill out a questionnaire which revealed that many of the things I’d always thought of as personal failings (procrastination, disorganization, anxiety) or strengths (creative thinking, intellectual energy, intermittent hyperfocus) were all indicators of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
What does any of this have to do with knitting? I’m getting to that.
See, the smoking had been a naive form of self-medication, because nicotine is a stimulant (just like ADHD medication) but also because the actual practice of smoking involves aspects of some key non-pharmaceutical methods for managing ADHD; for example, “smoke breaks” inject routine and ritual into one’s daily life while cigarettes can function as fidget or “stimm” toys. Smoking fills up interstitial waiting-time; it subtly reinforces the connection between body and mind when those two might drift apart; it gives your hands something to do.
Unfortunately, it also gives you cancer. Luckily for me, knitting does not, and I soon discovered that it similarly soothes my twitchy fingers and mind.
I’ve seen that bottom-right image in so many well-worn lesbian memes and I am so thrilled to discover:
1.) It’s actually from a legitimate women’s wear catalog (J&P Coats’s Sweaters Book No. 291: Everyone wears SWEATERS, c. 1952), and
2.) It has sibling images with comparable––if not superior––glances.
Some clarification:
1) It’s actually a booklet of knitting patterns!
2) The illustrator was named “Mary M-yo.” Couldn’t fully read the last name, but the first name’s definitely Mary. :)
Yes, hello, please enjoy the lesbian pulp novel we stumbled upon within the pages of J&P Coats’s Sweaters Book No. 291: Everyone wears SWEATERS, circa 1952. Because in these trying times, it makes sense to share whatever scraps of joy we can.
Another page Turner from the lesbian pulp art knitting pattern book. He is so oblivious!!! #queerknits #knittersofinstagram #vintageknittingpatterns
Another page from the lesbian pulp knitting patterns. What are those creeper dudes doing in the background looking into the window. Not cool peepers! #queerknits #ivegotasecret #besties
That moment while going thru vintage knitting patterns where you realize this particular pattern could double as lesbian pulp art. #queerknits
“V is for Vigilance” knit hat pattern by @lisaluciaknits, available on [ravelry] & [our website].
It's here! The long-promised pattern for our "vulva cable" toque. We'd already been playing with, um, yonic motifs before the results of the presidential election presented an increased threat to the safety and health of vagina-having Americans. (Because we do things like that.) But in the aftermath of November, we felt a particular urgency to celebrate this oft-denigrated body part in a knitty manner.
All proceeds from this pattern will go to aid Planned Parenthood of America in their efforts to provide affordable reproductive healthcare for all.
Our newest design, V for Vigilance, is now available on Ravelry (http://ow.ly/g0vb30bFVjP) & our website ( http://ow.ly/B7Hy30bFVmA ) Read more about it on our blog. http://lisaluciaknit.blogspot.com
Hope isn't a 4 letter word. We want to tell you what we have been up to in the past months. Join us on our blog as we share our vision for lisa lucia knits. http://ow.ly/d/6jHN http://lisaluciaknit.blogspot.com/
