Looking at Knitting and Crafting Magazine Radicle Threads Issue 4

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Barbara, this is beautiful! I love looking at artistic work from people who look like me...who reflects/share in my culture/heritage and/or who are interested in protecting the global artistic culture. I will certainly take a look at this mag! Thank you. HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH❤

Yes Happy Black History Month! We even get an extra day in it this year LOL! It makes me super happy that this publication helps me see a more from underrepresented members of our beautiful and diverse fiber community.

@WatchBarbaraKnit Being a Genealogist/Historian, over the years, I have had the pleasure of looking at quilts made by slaves. Stunning, detailed work. Made by slaves who could neither read nor write! One must remember that, at this time, it was against the law for a slave to know how to read/write. Nevertheless, these stunning, beautiful quikts were made by a people who were considered "property"... we can never forget this history as it is a part of United States history.

I am 100% following that magazine on instagram, this issue doesn't speak to me, but I'm excited for one in the future to!

[@WatchBarbaraKnit]

There's always the next one!

Sounds like they have things for everyone even though they are directing the magazine to one market. I bet they will expand sometime to expand their market.

[@WatchBarbaraKnit]

I'm afraid I am uncertain what you mean. The consumer market that they are aiming at is anyone who knits, crochets, does other fiber arts, likes recipes and more. Anyone from any walk of life can purchase the magazine.

I really hope this one survives longer than pom-pom magazine has

[@WatchBarbaraKnit]

That is one of the ones I was thinking of :(

@@WatchBarbaraKnit Just received the last issue yesterday. What I will miss is the selection of fashion-forward designs. Although I truly love basic, simple designs, there is a place in my heart (and drawer) for something more unique and Pom Pom was the only one that I am aware of that offered this.
