What is the Front Range?
It's the eastern section of the southern Rockies, running about 200 miles from Casper, Wyoming, to Pueblo, Colorado, and home to Pikes Peak.
The Fiber Arts
Published three times a year, By Hands feature the fiber arts as well as photography, local yarn shops, handcrafts, projects and patterns and classes and other opportunities. Each issue is a treasure trove to treasure if merely for the photography (and color) and family breweries - even Mason jar beer bread. Or a swatch tree.
Stitch art and weaving and even skin care! And tomorrow we feature another in the series, number 13, Northern California.
-----------
By Hand is a series of community-based lookbooks that focus on different fiber and fabric communities around the country. Each serial features photo journals and interviews with both up-and-coming and well-known yarn designers and dyers, local yarn stores, knitwear designers, fabric artists and other makers who share the same philosophy and aesthetic of hand crafting functional forms to share and connect with others in the community. Projects, patterns, classes, and opportunities to purchase the artists' work are included, as well as an opportunity to explore what is beautiful and unique about each locale.
