Hi, I'm Violet

I (used to?) make a zine called Idle Tuesday but I haven't put out an issue in four years. I've been reading a lot of amazing zines lately, though, so the inspiration might be coming back!

Besides reading great zines, I spend my time knitting, sewing, spinning yarn, baking, gardening, reading about food politics, drinking hot beverages, and doing yoga.

I spent the past four years of my life getting a degree in Women's Studies. Now I'm just another semi-angsty, mostly unemployable twenty something with a degree. Life is mostly awesome though; I'm not complaining.

You can read my knitting blog here.

I'm doing a presentation on zine collections in academic libraries. My presentation partner took a picture of your zine Idle Tuesday issue #2 during a visit to Barnard Library in 2011, and we'd like to use the image of that cover in a slide for the presentation. Please email me at willcn84(at)gmail(dot)com if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
