#Knitting is slow. Very much so.

Knitting stockinette stitch is even monotonous. Patterns are more like fluffy math. You have to stay mentally engaged. It relaxes me when part of my brain is occupied with doing something that feels good. So I knit patterns. Work in Progress. Because I also sell knitting patterns, this photo here is advertising. A fluffy tentacle shawl.

#Stricken ist langsam. Sehr sogar. Glatt rechts stricken ist sogar monoton. Muster sind dann eher flauschiges Mathe. Da muss man geistig dabei bleiben. Mich entspannt das, wenn ich einen Teil meines Gehirn damit beschäftige, etwas zu machen, was sich gut anfühlt. Also stricke ich Muster. Work in Progress. Weil ich Strickanleitungen auch verkaufe, ist das Foto hier Werbung. Ein flauschiger Tentakelschal

“BAD WITCH” or “GOOD WITCH,”- the reversible hat features both. Switch the message however you like! Against framing! For #feminism #craftivism

What is a bad witch?
We can certainly agree that doing malicious harm to other people, like eating Hansel or Gretel, would be bad. No doubt. Nevertheless, in the historical context, the majority of people who were put on trial and accused of being "bad witches" were merely framed for their boldness, protection, and willingness to challenge authorities or establish boundaries. Or maybe one simply was independent or in the way.
Maybe we do need more "bad witches" today!

So this hat is for a modern archetype of a bold and boundary­setting, assertive version of a witch. Let's remember that some norms and society's expectations need to be challenged, because they are unfair, unjust or not healthy for your soul. Knit the hat as a nifty act of rebellion!
