interesting information and writing style that kept me engaged as someone with barely any prior knowledge on tb. i found myself invested in the story. i wonder if henry got any compensation since his story is really what’s carrying the book.
i teared up reading this. the ending also really got me— it feels grounded and not overly idealistic, while still being happy
captivating storytelling, i was hooked right away and the subtleties of the characters’ emotions was so well done
it was interesting to learn a bit about knitting pattern writing. i liked that it linked additional resources to learn more. it mostly is a book about editing and formatting for clarity to prepare a pattern for publication (not about how to actually translate a design into writing). i wish the section about size grading was more detailed.
the second half about the history of wage labor and the bullshitization of care labor was especially eye opening for me. the book didn’t need to be that long though.
I feel like this could be a conversation starter for someone who has an interest in examining the history/concept of gender. This is basically a summary of some of the topics that might be discussed in an intro level queer theory or gender studies class. But the panelling and layout of the information wasn’t very reader friendly and I felt like the illustrations didn’t add additional context or clarity.
