WHEN RACHEL HENDERSON STARTED KNITTING IN THE PUB SHE HAD NO IDEA

THERE are surely worse ways to spend a day. It's barely gone noon and while most people are stuck at their desks, Rachel Henderson is already in the pub, getting settled into her favourite corner. She's a regular at the hip Leith watering hole Joseph Pearce's and all the bar staff know her by name. Even the owner pops over to say hello. Yet, far from being a closet daytime tippler, Henderson is here to work. She's surrounded by a colourful mountain of wool, assorted sewing paraphernalia, a stack of knitting patterns and a little suitcase containing almost every size of needle imaginable.

Last Christmas she created a quirky offshoot bespoke label of Rachel Henderson Crafts, called Rachieroo, for which she designs jewellery, including flamboyant statement brooches. Henderson regularly teaches in schools, provides adult education classes and is in the process of writing her third book, which focuses more on felting and crochet. Most recently she has started selling her own starter packs (Yummy Wool Kits) which are packaged up to look like delicious cup cakes.Many big stores have seen a considerable rise in demand for craft materials. Tesco recently reported a 198-per cent increase in sales of sewing machines since this time last year, selling two every minute, with sales of Singer and Brother models up by 50-per cent. John Lewis, meanwhile, has seen an annual increase of 17-per cent in haberdashery sales, with fabrics having their strongest year in half a decade.Although she learned how to knit as a child, Edinburgh-based Henderson, who grew up in Dalgety Bay, Fife, only started doing it seriously six years ago after spotting an advert in the local newspaper for a knitting consultant for wool and pattern supplier Rowan Yarns.These days her preferred title is "craft professional" (which sounds quite formal for such a bubbly person) and she is also a dab hand with a crochet hook and a felting needle.Henderson may come over as being quite girly but her shrewd business acumen has seen her tap into the burgeoning trend for traditional crafts such as knitting, crochet, felting and S-I-Y (that's sew-it-yourself for anyone out of the loop). Earlier this month it was announced that staff at NHS Highland have been learning to knit as a way of staying healthy, with the fruits of their labour set to provide material for a Homecoming Scotland project, which plans to drape knitted items over the railings of the Skye Bridge."It was really itchy to wear."Teething difficulties aside, once I fi nd my rhythm, my needles clicking away between sips of tea, it's easy to see why Henderson is hooked. There's something amazingly satisfying about seeing the beginnings of a scarf grow out of the wool. I'm initially clumsy and drop a couple of stitches (okay, about eight), but once I get going an almost zen-like calm descends as I zone out .Currently, Henderson is obsessed with making tea cosies."Knitting is my hobby, but it is also my job, so the last couple of years I've taken a sabbatical from knitting for fun and tried to revisit other things I did when I was at art college, such as felting and crochet. When you do it as a hobby and a full-time job it can get a bit too much, especially when you're designing as well. Having taken a break from knitting, I have rediscovered what I love about it.""They were really intricate, so it was quite tricky to do, " she says. The most exotic location in which she has pursued her craft is the Nigerian capital Lagos ("my friend and I took our knitting with us and ended up teaching people how to knit"); and, never one to waste an opportunity, she has even swapped pub knitting for knitting on planes ("Obviously I can't take needles on board these days so I use my bamboo crochet hooks instead").While Henderson doesn't like making garments from scratch ("too time consuming") she has been branching out lately by customising charity shop finds in quirky ways. "I'm good at taking something old and reinventing it, " she says.Working from a studio in her spare bedroom proved lonely, though, and it was this which prompted Henderson to set up a pub knitting circle. "It can be uninspiring working alone in my studio all day so it's nice to be able to bounce ideas off people, " she says. The group was a hit and soon Henderson was approached to publish a book, Pub Knitting, containing a series of hip but easy to make designs. Her repertoire has since grown steadily, with knitting now just one part of what she does.For a start, she is cute and endearingly sweet (but thankfully not overbearingly so), her sunny nature like that of a children's television presenter. She's the right side of trendy, too, dressed in a pink woollen cardigan, button-down shirt, jeans and cowboy boots, her blonde hair pinned back from her face with kirby grips. In each ear sits a tiny red button earring, a cheery and kitsch nod to her creative vocation. On anyone else they might look twee, but Henderson manages to turn them into a natty style statement.Not only are they fun to knit, she says, but all her friends are clamouring for them as gifts. Other retro items in demand, says Henderson, include leg warmers and fingerless gloves, which are also fairly easy to make. "They are great because you can use chunky wool, so they don't take long to knit, " she says. "Some of my friends have just started knitting and I advise them to go for scarves as those are probably the best first project. Hats and handbags are also good to get started on ."We get off to a shaky start. Henderson has to cast on for me as I'm completely clueless, then the fluffy blue wool sheds over my black dress, affecting the air of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. While she is off getting her photograph taken, I have a colossal sneezing fit after a piece of loose wool fl ies up and tickles my nose, making the people at the next table jump in alarm. Who knew knitting could be such a high octane activity?It's a logic I'm about to put to the test, although I'm a bit rusty with the knitting needles. The last time I turned my hand to anything under the umbrella of crafts, Russ Abbot was still considered the height of sophisticated Saturday night television. Fortunately Henderson, 28, is a patient teacher and gives me a set of thick knitting needles and chunky wool to make the task easier.For Henderson, knitting is a full-time job. Soon after graduating from Gray's School Of Art in Aberdeen seven years ago, she landed a job as a knitting consultant and hasn't looked back. These days she sells her designs to shops across Edinburgh, has published two books (including the aptly named Pub Knitting in 2005), runs regular workshops for schoolchildren and hosts a monthly evening where she and friends meet to knit, catch up on gossip and have a drink (albeit usually tea). If knitting were to have a poster girl, it would surely be Henderson."One of the reasons I really like doing my own books is because I can design things which are commercial and lots of people would love to wear, whereas if you are working for the catwalk, most of the stuff is very exclusive and not as accessible. " She admits to not always having been a style-setter when it comes to knitwear. "When I was eight I had a baby pink batwing jumper made from acrylic wool, " she says cringing.Despite her creative fl air, Henderson has no desire to see her designs on high-fashion catwalks.After a year in the job, whipping up examples of the knitwear fi rm's designs, teaching workshops and honing her techniques, she branched out, setting up Rachel Henderson Crafts to sell her self- designed accessories in shops around the capital.Henderson makes for good company. We sit companionably as she chats away about the strangest things she has ever knitted - two tiny Fair Isle sweaters small enough to fit a paper mache snake for a pilot episode of a children's TV show (which never aired).

Many big stores have seen a considerable rise in demand for craft materials. Tesco recently reported a 198-per cent increase in sales of sewing machines since this time last year, selling two every minute, with sales of Singer and Brother models up by 50-per cent. John Lewis, meanwhile, has seen an annual increase of 17-per cent in haberdashery sales, with fabrics having their strongest year in half a decade.

How Mr Spot turned the tide

I had already been listening to first-graders read for a couple of years when I was asked to tutor four fourth-graders tutoring first-graders.

'Have you been seeing Spots?' he asked her instead.Did Mr Spot assist in any way Dot? No, not a lot. Not piddly squat.Things changed considerably after that. To this day I don't know whether it was because of my stern admonition or whether our Mr Spot project brought about the change, but each day they breezed through their reading more quickly (even eagerly) so that we could work a little on our Mr Spot story. And while I came up with the more difficult words like spats, kumquat, and cravat, and had to explain why I transposed some words in a way that was a little off beat (to keep a bouncy rhythm), Jeff, I think, came up with the name Spot for the dog, one of the girls mentioned the tots sitting on a pot and screaming a lot, and so on and so on.There once was a man, Mr Spot, who dearly and truly loved spots. He had spots on his hat and spots on his spats. His cravats were tied at his throat with large spotted knots.So a ticket Dot got and left Mr Spot and her tots and the dog she called Spot. She sailed on a yacht to a hot sunny spot. Under a tree--a kumquat--she rested a lot. Quite soon her Spots she nearly forgot.Barbara Weddle has been writing book reviews and essays for fifteen years. Her pieces have been published in more than 150 magazines, including The Missouri Review, Chelsea, Chicago Life, and The Southern Review. She recently completed a mainstream novel and a young adult book and is in the process of looking for publishers for both.But soon lonely Dot got. She could not blot from her mind all her Spots. She missed Mr Spot and her tots and the dog she called Spot. So home again she set sail on the yacht.So Spots there were lots: Mr Spot, Dot Spot, Spot tots, the dog too a Spot, all playing and staying in one little cot and perhaps without and not including Dot all behaving not quite a lot.Soon Dot began feeling dizzy from all the Spots and whatnot. In a fast trot she went to see Doctor Gott. Doctor Gott examined Dot on the spot. He gave her a shot, checked out her heart, but her eyes he did not.'Get away from your Spots,' said Dr Gott. 'Blot out the whole lot. Go to some hot island spot. It will do you more good than the shot.'The Spot StoryOne day things were especially bad. Jeff's pencil tapping had risen to unbelievable proportions, Wanda stubbornly refused to read, and Erik and Ashley were at one another's throats big time. When I tried to get control with a firm 'stop that' and ominous 'or else's'--whispering so as not to disturb the rest of the class--and got nowhere, I decided I'd had enough.'I don't have to take this,' I said. I grabbed up my car keys and started to walk out. As I did I gave the kids a last fleeting glance. What I saw surprised me. Instead of the smug expressions I had expected to see, I saw instead what can only best be described as bewilderment, disbelief, and even regret. I realised that underneath their defiant facades they actually liked me.Things had to change, however. The next day I brought to class a small rhyming story that I'd been playing around with. Well, these kids were already of the mind that reading was a drudge. I wanted them to enjoy reading. And I did not want our experience together to be a bad one. Since I'd always had fun reading with my then five-year-old granddaughter, I thought I could have a little fun with my students by not being so serious and being a little more playful instead. My granddaughter and I had always 'played around' when we read together. For example, we would wonder a little, asking ourselves What if this happened or what if that happened in the story. I had begun writing the Mr Spot story a couple of years before (with my granddaughter), then had shelved it for some reason. I thought perhaps the kids might have fun helping me finish it. With Mr Spot and my four students, we did a lot of 'what-iffing'. And they became involved. When they became involved they began to enjoy reading more. Actually, they became excited about it.A week later their bad attitudes had not disappeared. Nor had the knot of anxiety in my stomach each day I entered the classroom. I had already given up on the 'learning-was-fun' idea, but now I was wondering whether or not I could even last out the semester. When I made appeals for them to behave, they only stared back at me with pie-plate expressions that made me feel that any problems there might be were of my own making, not theirs.They did not want me to quit on them. Too many others had quit on them. I sat back down.Finally, though the story itself may have been a little too juvenile for fourth graders, at last we were having fun learning. I applied this 'involvement' with our regular reading lessons also. For example, I would ask, 'What kind of person do you suppose Kit Carson really was? It didn't go over quite as well as Mr Spot, but it did improve their willingness to read a little if I involved them directly, asked their opinions, involved them.But my charges did not appear too enthused by my little 'learning-was-fun' speech. Conversely, they appeared sullen, recalcitrant even, a far cry from the well-behaved and enthusiastic first graders I was used to. Jeff was tapping on his desktop loudly with his pencil, Wanda was staring into space, and Erik and Ashley were sniping with one another.These students are 17-18 now. When I recently attended my own step-grandson's high school graduation (he was in the same class as Erik, Wanda, Ashley, and Jeff) I did not see their names on the program. Wherever they are, I firmly believe I left them with something (especially Erik) even if that something was only a little more confidence in themselves and the fact that learning can be fun. They were making discoveries about how language works, how words can tickle their imagination ...Mrs Spot bought a dog, thinking the tots the dog they would play with a lot. The dog, who also had spots, she gave the name Spot. But Spot liked to bark and he did bark a lot. Quite often a nice dog Spot surely was not.No one said a word for a long while. I think they knew by the tone of my voice that I would not tolerate a minute more of their disruptive behaviours. It was now time for the second phase of my plan. I picked up the copies of my story. 'This is something fun I've been working on,' I told them as I passed copies around. 'I came up with the name of a character, Mr Spot, and I have been trying to think of all the words that rhyme with spot so that I can write a rhyming story. I want you to take your copies home and add to the list any words that you can think of that rhyme with spot. Once we finish that, we'll work on a story'.'Why yes I have,' exclaimed Dot. 'I nearly forgot. I've been dizzy a lot, before my eyes I see Spots. I worry and fret and my stomach's in knots. Often I fear a good mother I'm not.'To this day Dot has not left home any more for some hot island spot. To lay in the shade of a tree--a kumquat.The first order of the day, of course, was laying out what I expected of the kids from that day forward. My voice wobbly, but very firm, I said, 'Jeff, no more pencil tapping. Wanda, if you refuse to read, that's fine. Ashley, Erik, the sniping stops.'It had been a win/win situation so I jumped at the chance to spend an hour-and-a-half each day with Jeff, Erik, Wanda and Ashley, helping them with their reading among other areas. On the first day of the new school term as I settled myself behind a desk in a corner of the fourth-grade classroom where I was to conduct my tutorial duties, my newly assigned charges seated before me, I was aglow with anticipation. I smiled, introduced myself, told them how much fun learning was, and reached for the course outline that had been prepared for me by the teacher.

President's Desk

It was late afternoon in Chicago 31 years ago. I was riding in a car with some friends, and we stopped for a traffic light at the corner of Clark Street and Diversey Avenue. I was in the passenger seat, and I looked casually out the window. And there she was. She was brunette, in her mid-twenties, about 5' 5''. She was wearing older but not faded blue jeans and a sleeveless white blouse. She had on brown sandals with straps that crossed her feet twice, and no polish on her toes or fingers. She was clutching a laundry basket filled with dry, semi-folded clothes. She was waiting for a bus.

PresidentThe orange tone of the low sun reflected off the glass windows of a building across the street, throwing softly speckled patterns of light on everything around her, but she remained in a calm space, a spot on the sidewalk where the light only glowed as if coming from a source undefined. The warm summer breeze wafted her hair lightly, and she stepped toward the curb and craned her neck to look down the street for the bus. She reached up with her right hand to brush her long hair out of her eyes. She wore one ring, a simple silver one.We keep a mental catalogue of these experiences to draw on as needed. They inspire our art and speak to the depth of our ability to understand how our circumstances affect our state of mind, how we find substance in our physical surroundings. And they create memories as vivid as something happening right now, moments we have deemed important in our lives, sometimes not knowing why.The traffic light changed about 1 5 seconds after we stopped, and my friends and I went on our way. She never saw me, and I don't believe my friends saw her. She wasn't especially remarkable; she wasn't a drop-dead beauty or a traffic-stopping bombshell. Yet not a month has gone by in 31 years when I haven't thought of that girl. Mostly it's a passing thought, an image that crosses my mind in the midst of dealing with daily duties. Sometimes it's more than that, a curiosity about who she is and where she is now. It wasn't sexual, the way you would imagine a teenaged boy would think of a slightly older woman. It was sensual, an appreciation for that particular moment in time and the sweet melancholy of knowing that this was all there would be of the encounter.But the inspiration will be mine. That's what makes me a cinematographer.I have no doubt that someday I will have to film a scene that has the same ethereal quality of the encounter with that woman 31 years ago, and I will break down the technical components necessary to make it achievable and understandable to all the other craftspeople involved in creating motion pictures: the camera assistants who must order the proper lenses, the electricians who need to get the right lights, the grips who will need to rig the cranes, the assistant director who must schedule it at the right time of day, and the art department who must have props in the proper color palette.While shooting the film The Fixer, I was looking for a way to depict the humble surroundings of a poor priest who is hearing the confession of a man in search of redemption. I remembered an early Christmas morning when I was a child. The sun had not yet risen, and everyone was asleep. The living room was suffused with the dark blue ambience of pre-dawn, and the Christmas-tree lights sparkled gently in the somber atmosphere, an oasis of hope. I proceeded to light the scene at hand with that feeling - not the exact colors, but the feeling of that room. When the director saw the dailies, he said it reminded him of the sound of steam radiators heating up in winter. The editor remarked that the room had the smell of old wood and crisp air.Cinematographers frequently reference other works while developing the unique style for the project we're shooting. Often it'll be another film. Many times it'll be a painting, a still photograph, clips from a magazine or even a piece of music. Anything that stirs an emotion and leaves an impression carries with it the seed that can be adapted to another expression of art. But your own life experiences frequently inspire the most sublime transpositions into cinematographic form.

Four Windows

Four Windows i. A man turns the matte paper to an angle on the desk. His thumb presses chicken wing grease to the page. He rubs it and it streaks. He reaches for the soda can and pulls his hand away. The man's lips tighten and he stands to water the plants. ii. A woman closes a briefcase on the table. She latches one side of the window. She turns off the radio. The woman sits on the edge of a crimson divan and squints at a corner of the rug. A door slams below her and her head darts left, to the window, like a bird. iii. A woman's brittle hair fills the pocket mirror. She presses up her dentures. Lint or a feather falls from her sleeve. Her hand brings coral lipstick to the corner of her mouth. The mirror or her hand shakes. The woman's head leans toward the green banker's lamp. iv. A woman bows her head to the back of the shower. Her right leg balances on the soap ledge. She holds a cotton washcloth to her thigh. She opens her eyes. Her skin is the color of steam. She lowers her leg and touches the washcloth to her face.

Changing spaces: get out of the cube and into the workplaces of the future

Offices haven't changed so much over the years. True, few contain roll-top desks and feather quill pens anymore, but so what?

Marketing?Ryan Cross, Web developer and curator of the recently opened Enclave Cooperative in Colorado Springs explains that, "The purpose behind coworking is about the thought of mindshare. It's the idea that I as a Web developer might not be awesome in (Adobe) Photoshop, and if I need to learn a certain technique I might just lean over to the guy next to me and say, 'Hey, do you have a second?'"Another coworking category is "coworking spaces by theme." A second is "co-working facilities, potentially profitable." A third is "Denver coworking facilities based on a green theme with a branch in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, an eye on another one in L.A. and a big marketing push upcoming.""We call it the New Workplace," Zeppelin says.Asked about making a real marketing splash in the Springs, Cross takes a long pause and says, "It can't be that way. If you do it that way, it turns corporate. It's the same as top-down. It's grass-roots for us."So what is the New Workplace? What is "coworking?" Is it really catching on in Colorado?Co-owner Jennie Nevin also says she and her partner plan to run Green Spaces as a business as well as a coworking environment. New York has broken even on a cashflow basis, she says, and now it's time to pay more attention to Denver. Here, she plans building a rooftop garden/gathering place, but first is installing solar tubes atop the building.But something new in workspaces is taking hold around the Front Range, such as new workplace pioneer Mickey Zeppelin's TAXI development in River North, RiNO, that is; or Andrew Luter's brainchild the Hive Cooperative; or Jennie Nevin's Green Spaces, coworking at the other end of RiNO by the Ballpark neighborhood, award winner for its Green Route map and producer of the glitzy Green Route Festival in late August."It would be cool to have a little more of an alternative energy mix," she muses one late summer day, "and the other thing is the financial part: I'd like to have someone like a VC (venture capitalist) here. Those are the two things we have in New York that we don't have here. But there are here some other kinds of companies that we have that are really cool, really unique, that we don't have in New York.Coworking can mean lots of things, but it has something to do with entrepreneurs working together in a common space, often in the absence of authority figures, to boot.One good thing about the term "coworking" is that it is flexible. Coworking entrepreneurs can be profit-driven or nonprofit driven; they can insist or not on points that emphasize the concept's cooperative aspects, such as no-door, no-landlord, no-publicity policies.The Enclave's Cross is one such purist. By way of example, he has written enclavecoop.com in newfangled HTML5 and CSS3, crippling it in Internet Explorer, which does not support those standards.How about Boulder's The Candy Shop, home of the Boulder Green Building Guild, Sustainably Built, Origin Graphic Design, Caught in Her Dress, Keira Ritter Design, Zen Ohm, Daedalus Studio, the Automatic Company and more?Here, it could be the whole trend kicked off with TAXI 1, the 30,000-square-foot former Yellow Cab headquarters that in 2001 Zeppelin turned into an architecturally friendly, casually avant-garde space with a walkway meandering down the middle and a spacious spot called the Fuel Cafe."That's why we combine these communities," Nevin says. "Because you bring in that mix and you bring in this mix and then suddenly you get more of a full mix, and maybe something surprising, maybe something wonderful."The 5,000-square-foot Green Spaces Colorado falls into all three of those categories. The space opened in late 2009 (as did its New York City site) and today has more than 40 total member/entrepreneurs/businesses.Nevin plans to expand in other ways--through the Green Route Festival, for one--and to add members.TAXI represents a New Workspace, all right, but it is not coworking per se. Or is it?"When we opened TAXI, the opening ceremony was, we blew up a cubicle. We did that because we saw the end of that era--the Era of the Cubicle."Coworking spaces essentially fall into a few simple categories. One is "coworking spaces with doors." Enclave, for example, doesn't have doors; Green Spaces has one, for the conference room; yet the Vault does have doors, some to suites and one to an actual vault as befits a coworking space in a former bank building.Breathless yet?Or Fort Collins' Cohere, Colorado Springs' Enclave, or ID345 in Denver, or YesPleaseMore Denver Pavilions where entrepreneurs Brian Corrigan and Samuel Schimek promise coworking for artists, or the Vault in Louisville, born from the expanding circle of the DaVinci Institute?Most all of us still work at desks with our recording implements and communications devices at hand and one eye over our shoulders. Office space remains arranged hierarchically: Ownership and upper-tier employees get privacy, the corner office and the mountain views.Taxi 2 comprises 105,000 square feet inspired by Dutch architecture and built out in 2007. Today, TAXI hosts more than 40 tenants in a space, and in a mix, designed to get them to mingle personally and professionally.Numerous coworking places claim green credentials, but Green Spaces takes the idea and runs with it. "Our vision is to forward the sustainability movement globally through widespread local hubs that incubate environmental entrepreneurs," its credo reads."Word-of-mouth," Cross says, which in 2010 means in March posting a Web page at meetup.com (meetup.enclavecoop.com) holding online get-togethers, then opening a non-virtual site in August."The whole TAXI concept was about creativity. In order to get to that creativity you need an environment that spoke of freedom that didn't have the boundaries on it, where you walk around, talk to people, share ideas and talk about individuality within those spaces," Zeppelin says.

"That's why we combine these communities," Nevin says. "Because you bring in that mix and you bring in this mix and then suddenly you get more of a full mix, and maybe something surprising, maybe something wonderful."
