ok so. five image collage showing the front, 3 inner spreads, and back of a riso-printed zine in green and light blue. it's called 'on the shoulders of giants' and it's about a knitting technique I learned from Stephen west and how I built on that technique. it talks about joining two adjacent panels without seaming, instead knitting the second panel onto the selvedge of the first. then it uses that technique to approach two panels knit with significantly different weights of yarn

Riso printed!

  1. Feet in a pair of colorful socks. They are identically striped and quickly vary between yellow, green, blue, white, and gray.

  2. A logo in purple, yellow, blue, and green. A piece of paper folded into 8 sections reads FEDI ZINE; it resembles the classic folding pattern of a simple 8-page zine made from printer paper. Next to it, a fully folded zine reads fest 2025.

  3. A 5 photo collage showing the front and back cover as well as 3 full spreads of a folded zine about Kestrel, my dog, who is a 65lb Malinois with a goofy smile and floppy ears. it is printed in two layers of color, blue and orange, and each image depicts Kestrel in various posts... alert and watchful, resting, looking mopey, wearing a sweatshirt.
