En este episodio muy especial de SONGMESS CHILE estamos conversando con Playa Gótica, la queridísima banda de rock y punk que mezcla matices electrónicos y oscuros perfectos para catarsis visceral en la pista de baile. Formado en 2014, el grupo se destaca rápidamente como uno de los grandes talentos del nuevo pop de guitarra en Chile, lanzando su aclamado disco debut Amigurumi 2 años después y tocando en grandes festivales como Lollapalooza Chile y Ruido Fest, en Chicago. Nuestra conversación con la banda abarca sus orígenes y su separación en 2019, seguido de una potente reunión pocos años después. También desglosamos el espejismo generado por el hype de industria y la precariedad bajo la cual trabajan los artistas independientes, al igual que su más reciente disco CADABRA, lanzado en 2023 y que nuevamente les lleva a las texturas experimentales de su infancia musical.

On our latest weekly roundup, Terri shares some decluttering success stories, including finding a loving home for her vintage record albums.What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building's season finale, "Opening Night" (episode 9), we learn whodunit (that is, the multiple whos who done it) and question the wisdom of having very serious conversations in the wings while a show is underway on stage. Plus, of course, the next murder in the building happens, so we're ready for season 4.On Dancing with the Stars, it was Latin Night, or as Terri called it, "Dresses with Sleeves Night." Bruno continued to impress (?) with his collection of mesh shirts, and there were quite a few enjoyable, well-done dances.​Catherine's library find this week is books on the amigurumi craft craze. Therein, you can find instructions on how to crochet everything from a doughnut-shaped unicorn to Mr. T to a whole family of dinosaurs. In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed how volunteering can be a runaway train (that we've successfully disembarked from; October 10, 2019), care packages for kids (October 9, 2019), and digital hoarding (October 9, 2017).​Note: After this episode was recorded, but before Terri edited it, she fell and broke her wrist. So if the editing on this episode is even less professional than usual, have mercy. Next week we will be off while Terri has surgery and recovers. We will be back the week after with stories—you can bet on that.​When we come back, our TV watch will cover Motown and Disney nights on Dancing with the Stars as well as the movie Champions. While we're gone (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.​This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3680863/advertisement

Welcome to knit sew craft! I'm your host, Brooke, and today we will be talking all about amigurumi! What is amigurumi? Here are the links to the websites I quoted from, and the Waldorf toy information I mentioned.  Mymodernmet.com Amigurumi.today Amigurumi Design and Creation course on Domestika Waldorf Toys Places to find patterns: Ravelry, Etsy, or an internet search Supplies needed to get started: Yarn, hook, filling, and scissors. Other handy items are stitch markers, safety eyes, embroidery thread, head pins, and a needle for sewing pieces onto the item. Yarn can be a personal preference, but I've ordered cotton yarn from Hobbii, and I'm thinking about an order from DROPS. Necessary skills: Magic ring to begin pieces, Single Crochet. This page on YouTube has been really helpful for me! I find inspiration all throughout my life, but Pinterest and Instagram are my favorite places because it's easy access and scrolling.

However, she is also an accomplished illustrator and won a tv competition for her Christmas card design last year as well and her work has been shared online by the influencer Mrs Hinch.I caught up with Hayley a few weeks ago to hear about her big tv experience, how she first got into crafting and her exciting plans for this month.You can find Hayley on Instagram at @dotcraftstudioFor full show notes for this episode, please visit the Making Stitches website.The music featured in this episode is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops.Making Stitches Podcast is presented, recorded and edited by Lindsay from Postcard from Gibraltar.

Kerry Lord took up crochet for the first time when she went on maternity leave from her family's yarn business less than ten years ago. She watched some YouTube tutorials and created a cuddly elephant for her baby, who was still yet to be born. Little did she know back then that Bridget the Elephant would eventually go on to be made thousands of times by crocheters around the world and the book of crochet animal patterns she would go on to write would be translated into 22 different languages.This week on Making Stitches, I have a chat with Kerry Lord, the founder of Toft and creator of more than 200 crochet patterns. Kerry has gone on to write 11 books, the most recent of which, A Partridge in a Pear Tree, has been released in time for Christmas. She told me how the business first got started and how after shaky beginnings it's become the flourishing creative hub it now is. We chatted last week on the first day of our most recent national lockdown in the UK and just before Kerry launched the brand new Toft Christmas campaign which you can find all about on the company's website.For full show notes for this episode, please visit the Making Stitches website.The music featured in this episode is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops.Making Stitches Podcast is recorded and edited by Lindsay from Postcard from Gibraltar.

What could be more fun than talking to kids, talking about unicorns and crochet? On this week's episode Heather and Sara check in and talk about all the different ways to engage your young person with crochet. Many people are having to stay at home with their children more than they had in the past so hopefully this discussion will help. Heather connects crocheting and doodling in a way that will help ease you into to joys of crocheting at home with others. Since our team is working from home, we each interview a special guests to talk to us about crochet. First Heather talks to her 10 year old, Gideon, about her job and they brainstorm projects to do at home as a family. Next Producer Sarah chats to her 2 year old, Flower, about her job and crochet. Then Kerry talks to her 17 year old, Lauren, about how she first learned to crochet and what advice does she have for parents trying to teach their kids to craft at home. Heather and Regan dive into the newly released softie patterns, or amigurumi projects, and even offer tips to how to improve upon what the patterns say. They also give a behind-the-scenes peak at the origins of the famed photo of Heather with a unicorn.

Amigurumi Patterns – is writing them the same as other patterns? This is a question I’m sure you asked as soon as you had a vision for a darling crochet creature and wanted to share it with the world. Writing patterns is an art in itself and amigurumi patterns are no exception. In fact, you should take a slightly different approach to recording a pattern for your amigurumi creature so recreating it is a joyous process for someone. Today’s Guest I’m joined by, Lee, tech editor, amigurumi enthusiast and professional crochet designer and we explore the required differences in the amigurumi pattern The post Amigurumi: Pattern Writing Tips from Coco Lee Crochet appeared first on B.Hooked Crochet | Knitting.

On today’s episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about building a successful career in quilting with my guest, Eleanor Burns. Eleanor Burns is truly a star in the quilting industry. She entered the field in 1978 with a self-published book, "Make a Quilt in a Day-Log Cabin Pattern.” Her innovative techniques in "strip piecing" made quilting possible for busy sewers and remains popular today. Eleanor’s signature technique is to take time treasured patterns and make them quick and easy to sew with new methods. In 1990, Eleanor pioneered the way people view quiltmaking with her Quilt in a Day television series, which still broadcasts nationwide. She continues to be a highly sought after teacher and demonstrates her patterns and techniques on the Quilt in a Day website, live streaming webinars, and on YouTube. In 1998 Eleanor designed her first fabric collection, "Anniversary Florals," with Benartex. She’s designed several more since then and has also collaborated in designing several special edition sewing machines. To date, Eleanor has published over 150 books and patterns and created numerous quilt rulers, templates and tools. +++++ This episode is sponsored by GlassEyesOnline.

The art of crocheting stuffed animals and characters. Amigurumi is one of the most creative forms of crochet. You can crochet something that looks and feels like it comes to life! There are so many different ways to inject your personality through amigurumi and I’m here to open up your eyes to this special form of crochet. One of my favorite creations is “Layla Bunny”. She brings so much joy to my office space! I had a vision for a floopy and sweet bunny and followed through the design. It was such a rewarding experience! Today’s Guest I’m joined today The post Amigurumi Tips & Tricks | The BHooked Podcast Episode 21 appeared first on B.Hooked Crochet | Knitting.

Vincent Green-Hite recently started Knot Bad, a company where he crochets small stuffed characters in the style of Amigurumi—the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, cute stuffed animals and creatures. Think Anime and Pokémon meets crochet. Vincent unpacks how he discovered crochet and why Amigurumi, as a creative outlet works for him. Having already gained thousands of followers and loving what he does, Vincent believes he’s on the right path with his unique vision. What’s more, Vincent recently started a charity drive with friend and fellow crocheter Jessica Carey (The Hook Nook), called The Gracie Project. This drive is collecting stuffed characters, and beanies for hospitalized children, all created by their followers - and it’s bringing even deeper fulfillment to Vincent’s work. Vincent goes on to tell us about the surprises to starting his online business, who inspires him on his journey and lot more.   See more about this episode and the show at: MyBigStory.show JOIN CHRISTOPHER’S ADVENTURE & SEE BEHIND-THE-SCENES PICS, FUN AND MORE Instagram Twitter Facebook ChristopherSwan.info GET MORE STORIES, INSPIRATION, IDEAS, AND MY BIG STORY UPDATES Subscribe to Christopher’s newsletter: Be Inspired LOVE THE SHOW?

Brainy stuff starts at 15:40 and Behind the Redwood Curtain begins at 26:55. Catherine finds a patterns for her Great Adirondack yarn from 50 Fabulous Borders by Rita Weiss.  She also finished a jelly fish from Hansi Singh's Amigurumi Knits. Margaret has been making washcloths from Stitch Diva's (Jennifer Hansen') pattern and loving the Lucci DK cotton tape yarn. Catherine relates some research suggesting the knitting and other acitivities reduce the chances of dementia and age-related Alzheimer's.   The evidence is anecdotal and researchs say they need more research before they can find a causal link. Margaret talks about the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge.  She also offers a tip to suggest you can sketch out a graph on a challenging knit or crochet pattern that doesn't have one. 

Episode 36: Production scheduling – It feels so good to be back infront of the microphone! Not to be to Excusey but... there's a chineese curse. Or a saying that's been attributed as a chineese curse... That says May you live in interesting times. Life over here ahas taken a turn to the interesting to say the least. Production What’s in My Teapot Shipping Materials Sourcing After 5 Production Soft Serve by fervid Design I found this while surfing Ravelry for interesting hats to make for my knit groups year of the baby contest. It looks like a swirl ofhbh DQ soft serve. I’m using the left overs from the Top Down raglan sweater. 10 stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown. My knittign grup is having a blanket drive for Project linus. I have a large amount of recycled afghan yarn ans thought this blanket mayhe a good use as It doesn't include my main turn off when it comes to blamkets. Long never ending rows. I have this cast on and I'm to the point of adding in the contrast color. I've ripped it out twice as I'm not happy with how the joing look. The prescribed SL1 K1 PSSO isn't workign for me. I may tear this out again and tinker with it some more. Find out more about project linus at www.projectlinus.org it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.” What’s In my Tea Pot casablanca twist An interesting twist on classic Moroccan Mint tea, which traditionally combines Gunpowder green tea from China with fresh mint. We kept the latter, and replaced the smoky notes of Gunpowder with the muscatel highlights of a First Flush Darjeeling from India. The result is very a refreshing cup, with bold, cool minty notes, smooth and relaxing texture and flavor. Very intriguing cup. Shipping The Cupcake Hat The Cupcake Hat is done! In the end I gave up on the Heart Shaped Pompom as the cherry. I can’t believe that I do not have a pair of scissors in the house that can cut well in the channel of the pompom makers. That’s one for the Christmas List! What I ended up going with was a cut Amigurumi cherry that I crocheted and stuffed with one of my misshapen heart pompoms. Instead of multi colored “sprinkles” I did a series of French Knots in red for “Cherry Chips” It’s Flat out adorable and since it’s red and White Vaentinesy I’ve been wearing it around town today. Top and side views are on my project page. (Yes, this may be a sign of the Apocalypse.) Holden Shawlette by Mindy Wilkes Knit from my Nazar Boncugu Wollemeisse. ("nah-zahr bon-joo-ooh") I’ll butcher this name no more! I Looked it up and was surprised to find my blue yarn was named for the Turkish Evil Eye talismans. http://www.turkishclass.com/picture_11212 “Nazar Boncuğu is traditional Turkish talisman, usually made of glass, in many stiles, from simple to ornate. There is belief between Turkish people that it absorbs bad energy coming from evil eyes.” Learn something new everyday! I have 4 more rows and the bind off to go! I had to tink back the last garter stitch rib 2X. I was too involved with Mathew and Mary on Downton Abbey and the 1st time purled the wrong side row as normal. The second time I knit the wrong side row but for got the YO increases. Then my screw together interchangeable needle fell apart and luckily nothing fot away. It was at that point that I put the project down and went off to cook dinner and take a breather. I sat down to pick it up again while watching yet more Downton and found that some grubby little fingers had moved Mommy’s sticky note and I knit the wrong row on the chart. Every thing in back in place for another go at it tonight. Hopefully I’ll have a better time of it. Material Sourcing Merino Camel Blend I’m still working on the Merino Camel blend. I have all the camel blended into the merino. I have all the rolags sitting on the entertainment center so that they yell “Spin ME!” every time I walk by. My goal was to get them done for the winter Spin along but seeing as that ends today…. I don’t think I’ll be making it. I am still less than thrilled with these merino locks. In addition to having all sorts of second cuts in this bag I found that the other half the bag was poorly washed and is sticky. From the smell I don’t think it’s lanolin I think it’s excess detergent. A LOT of excess detergent. My thought was to try and spin some of this merino from the lock… But I think I’ll be re washing some of this. From the looks of things I’m estimating that I’ll fill my second bobbin and maybe a bit of a third. Cant’s wait to see this plied! After 5 Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Snow Storm Winter Fest in February Brakes Crock Pot Yogurt OMG Soooo Good! http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-can-make-yogurt-in-your-crockpot.html Use whole milk for thicker yogurt. I used 2% and mine was a bit on the runny side. It was thick just not as thick as commercial yogurt. That first swipe with the spoon through the crock pot was soooo worth the wait!
