    February 2023's colorway is inspired by a particularly vivid cover of Imago, the third book in Octavia Butler's iconic Lilith's Brood trilogy.

    When you think of science fiction writing, and particularly female science fiction authors, one of the first to pop into most people's minds is Octavia Butler. So much of what she wrote is deep in the thread of modern fiction; and it must be said that, even though she is considered to be a science fiction writer by many, she herself doesn't necessarily agree. Butler resisted being pigeonholed as a genre writer, and claimed to have three loyal audiences: black readers, science-fiction fans, and feminists.

    Particularly in these recent times, when the dangers of a lot of what was traditionally reserved for science fiction works look more and more likely to actually come to pass, reading Octavia Butler and her no-holds-barred view of the downfalls of society becomes both more important and more difficult. She doesn't shy away from the ugliness that can be at the heart of modern society, and the dangers of continuing on a path informed by hatred and greed. Even through that, there is a thread of hope and redemption that runs through her works, and keeps her on to-read lists everywhere.

Kimmerer is a botanist and a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and her writings effortlessly fuse these two perspectives into a new\/old way of communing with, learning from, and being in nature. Each story in \u003cem\u003eBraiding Sweetgrass\u003c\/em\u003e and her earlier book—\u003cem\u003eGathering Moss\u003c\/em\u003e—takes you into a different part of Kimmerer's life and work, both of which are beautifully intertwined. Reciprocity is the belief that underlies all of her work; not only feeling connected to the natural world in a way that sometimes seems almost out of reach in our modern society, but communing with, sharing with, and giving back to nature in a way that it feels like our current society actively revolts against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may find yourself tearing up while regaling your family with summaries at dinner, hugging your loved ones a bit tighter, planning more outdoor time and trips to clean up the natural world around you. You might start plotting your vegetable garden for next Spring, you might squat down to gaze at the mosses surrounding you a bit more. And, as we face a future in which our climate is in peril, you may find yourself caring a bit more about the natural world and working to incorporate that care more and more into your daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnittedWit's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/milkweed.org\/book\/braiding-sweetgrass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBraiding Sweetgrass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e colorway was created to echo the aesthetics, not only of the book cover, but of the sweetgrass itself the book centers its story around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBook not included with purchase.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiber Content\u003c\/strong\u003e – 80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fingering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – US 1 - 3 \/ 2.25mm 3.25mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHook Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – US B - D  \/ 2.25mm - 3.25mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkein Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e – 4 oz \/ 113 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkein Yardage\u003c\/strong\u003e - 420 yards \/ 384 meters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hand wash cold.
