I just discovred this mag and have thoroughly enjoyed both issues and can’t wait for more!
What an enjoyable magazine! I especially loved the story on bathing suits. There are a series of pictures on page 31 where the location is listed as unknown, but I believe they may be from Washington, DC. I live right across the river in Virginia, and pass the Washington Monument on my way to work every day…that obelisk in the background of the pictures looks just like it. And I found one of the images on Shorpy (http://www.shorpy.com/node/3311). DC used to have a beach near where the Tidal Basin is today. There are even pictures from the early 1920′s of the “bathing suit police” checking the hem lengths of womens’ suits (http://ghostsofdc.org/2012/01/18/bathing-suit-police-at-the-tidal-basin/). It’s amazing to think we’re less than 100 years removed from those cultural mores. And here in the U.S., it feels like some are trying to get us to veer back towards them.
Thank you so much for your wonderful contributions to the knitting profession! I look forward to seeing future issues of Textisles.
Ha! I got so excited about the pictures I didn’t finish the article, and see you have the bathing suit police in there already — my apologies! Note to self: always double-check everything before hitting send.
