I first stumbled over Lorna Hamiltons work because of her catchy Yarnarella costume. I love the photography: not only is especially the wig impressing, I also love how the photographer caught Lorna’s expression. I interpret it as something between being amused, absorbed and knowing a secret.
This fascinated me and I wanted to know more and have to admit that before I researched her have never heard of the tale that black people do not knit. After reading of this “single story” (in regard to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie), my attention changed and I suddenly saw how seldom POC were featured in magazines or on Ravelry.
Still I know near to nothing about the knitting/crochet culture of for example Jamaica, so thank you for pointing me in this direction.
