When Knit Picks was founded by husband and wife team Kelly and Bob Petkun in 2002, the company began with a mail-order catalog and soon added online purchasing. Buying yarn online seemed both strange and inevitable: knitters began choosing yarns that they could only see onscreen, in the early days of functional search engines, at a time when many people had internet only at the office if at all. But for crafters who lacked easy access to a local yarn store or even a big-box craft store, being able to order craft supplies online broadened the horizons of knitting. After carrying other companies' yarns for several years, the Petkuns began working directly with mills in South America to create yarn lines that were exclusive to Knit Picks. Several of their first yarns, including Wool of the Andes, Andean Treasure, and Alpaca Cloud, are still available (though the Butterfly Kisses eyelash yarn that was a staple of the early 2000's has been discontinued). With the success of their exclusive yarns, Knit Picks began working with manufacturers to create their own tools, most significantly an extensive range of knitting needles. Sustainability-Minded Yarns By making their yarns available directly to knitters, Knit Picks was able to keep their prices low and developed a reputation for affordability. Perhaps less well known, though, have been their efforts to offer sustainably produced yarns. In this episode, Alexis Wilson explains that the company recently completed the process to certify their warehouse to the Responsible Wool Standard, the last link in the chain that makes their 100% US-made High Desert yarn line fully RWS-certified. High Desert yarns use Shaniko Wool, sourced from ranches that meet multiple environmental and social responsibility standards and are demonstrated to capture carbon in the soil. Even before the official RWS certification, Alexis observes, Knit Picks purchased their wool, alpaca, and mohair from certified Responsible Alpaca Standard, Responsible Mohair Standard, and RWS sources. In addition to natural-fiber yarns, they have added several lines that use innovative methods of recycling or reclaiming waste fibers: Oceana (https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/oceana/c/5420504), which features Seaqual Upcycled Marine Plastic; Salvage (https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/salvage/c/5420505), which contains recycled cotton; and Samia (https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/samia/c/5420462), which includes cupro, a silky fiber made from waste cotton produced in a closed-loop process. The environmental concern extends to their wooden needles, which are made from sustainably harvested forests. For Every Knitter (and Dyer and Weaver and Spinner) Although “knit” is right in the name, Knit Picks offers products for other crafts as well (and not just through their sister brand Crochet.com (https://www.crochet.com/)). In addition to finished yarns, Knit Picks offers the Bare (https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/bare-dye-your-own/c/300110) line of popular yarns ready to be dyed by consumers, as well as a variety of natural and synthetic dye products (https://www.knitpicks.com/accessories/yarn-dyes/c/300508). Spinners can select the wool blends used in some popular Knit Picks yarns as processed wool tops (https://www.knitpicks.com/3001/filter-products?Category=Roving) to make their own yarns. For weavers and machine knitters, the popular Dishie cotton comes on cones as well as in balls, and Alexis reveals that some weights of their staple yarns Wool of the Andes and Palette will be offered on cones soon, too. For nearly 20 years, Knit Picks produced almost every product offered on the site. In recent years, though, they have started supplementing their offerings with select yarns that they believe customers would enjoy, such as Kelbourne Woolens Germantown and Baa Ram Ewe Woodnote. Alexis looks forward to adding yarns from Berroco in upcoming months. In this Spotlight Episode, discover the sustainable side of Knit Picks.

The boys are joined by Hunter Johnson the CEO of Mental Health Organisation The Man Cave, Sean Ormerod from Sportsbet and Luke Gatehouse from Brisbane Greyhound Club.

Get your pens ready, the boys are chatting to Seany Ormerod from Sportsbet ahead of the NRL GF, but we've found another star Dimity Maher for a few tips in the Greys.

Crochet can be a lot of different things to different people—for some people it's a way to relax and express themselves, while others like to create useful items. Some people turn their crochet into a business (or side-hustle), and of course, crochet can also be celebrated as an Art. Today we talk all about the business and art of crochet with a few people who are experts on these topics.  First up Heather and Sara chat about about their favorite IDP patterns on the WeCrochet website. IDP stands for Independent Designer Partnership and is a small way that WeCrochet aims to help spotlight and support Independent Crochet designers by letting them sell their designs on crochet.com.  Next Heather finds out how to make your finished crocheted goods into a business with Ashley Stallsworth of A Crafty Concept. Ashley talks about her crochet journey and transition into a crochet business owner. She also gives a lot of free business advice. Hot tip—find your niche. Then Sara introduces Tian Connaughton's program to help knit and crochet designers build a profitable business. Finally, Heather talks to crochet artist Jo Hamilton about how she "paints" with crochet, and how she found her niche as an artist using our favorite medium: yarn! Check out more of Jo Hamilton's art on her website and read more about her work in WeCrochet Magazine Issue 3.

Brainy: 21:26  Mind/Body Depression, Pain and the Brain Behind the Redwood Curtain:      28:04   What We’re Learning from Our Knitting Both Catherine and Margaret (without consultation with each other) made hats for themselves.  Catherine knit the Socky Slouchy Hat by Lauren Sanchez https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/socky-slouchy-hat Margaret’s was the Churchmouse Yarns and Teas Boyfriend Watch Cap https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boyfriend-watch-capMargaret also tried out the famous and infamous ball band washcloth pattern but she extended the length into a towel.   She used Knit Pick’s new twisted Dishie in Black and White with the contrasting yarn in matching solid black.   https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ballband-dishcloth  It was a fun pattern to do.  And Catherine is taking up the gauntlet and hosting the 2020 Potholder exchange.  https://www.ravelry.com/groups/2020-potholder-swap.   Brainy Thing: Catherine leads us into a deep dig into the Mind-Body phenomena, specifically the relationship between pain and the brain.     Behind the Redwood Curtain. In our little town and probably yours, dozens of businesses are joining the campaign to protect our communities.   Here are some we mentioned: Holly Yashi https://www.hollyyashi.com/ Kokotat  https://kokatat.com/ Bubbles  https://www.bubbles-arcata.com/?ccUser= North Coast Dance  http://www.atlpublishing.com/NCD/Mobile.html North Coast Repertory https://ncrt.net/   Today in Episode 113 of Teaching Your Brain to Knit we dive deeply into the mind/body phenomena specifically  Pain and Depression and how you might improve both;  We discuss our new knitting:  Hats and a dishtowel plus Catherine takes up the challenge to host the Potholder swap.  And in Behind the Redwood Curtain, we celebrate the local business who are making masks, face guards, and sanitizers to help protect our community.   We’re sure there are businesses in your community that are doing the same thing.     And before we begin, I just want to note that I’m not happy with the sound quality in this episode.  We spent a lot of time and some money trying to figure out a way to record remotely with our older computers but this was the best we could do this time.   Rest assured that we will continue to experiment and hopefully have a better quality next time.   Until then, stay well.        

Note: Dishin & Swishin "In his or her own words" is a series run on the website. Instead of a larger podcast, and rather than give you transcribed bits and pieces of interviews where the reader cannot hear the context of each statement, we will share the entire interview audio with you, the listener. We hope you enjoy the concept. Even casual women's basketball fans know that UConn and Notre Dame, maybe even South Carolina and Baylor are perennial powers in the sport, and leading candidates for the Final Four each season. Louisville? Maybe not so much. The Cardinals, though, in nine seasons under coach Jeff Walz, have six trips to the NCAA Sweet 16, two of which culminated with NCAA runner-up finishes. The ACC is a difficult conference, but Louisville has put themselves right at the top, and this may be the year that Walz leads the team beyond the Sweet 16. They are loaded with talent, and despite having only two seniors, it is a team that plays wise beyond their years and is a threat against any opponent. It starts with junior forward Myisha Hines-Allen, last year's Blue Ribbon Panel ACC Player of the Year, and a preseason Dishie 3rd team All-American selection. Hines-Allen led the team in scoring and rebounding last year, and looks to improve on her 17.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. On the wing she is joined by 6'0 Mariya Moore, who was second on the team in scoring (14.1 ppg) and led the team in assists (4.4 apg). Briahanna Jackson provides senior leadership and speed on a team that loves to get out and run. In the interview attached though, Walz seems most excited by the early performances of a healthy Asia Durr. Despite playing with nagging injuries that almost forced her to redshirt last year, Durr still was a conference all-freshman selection. Durr would be a k

Into the great wide open we go! It is time to look into the Dishin & Swishin crystal ball and see what we can come up with for pre-season “Dishie” selections for the NCAA women’s basketball season! There will be no talk about “UConn dominance is not good for the sport” this year! There are probably ten to twelve teams that can realistically look to April and say “why not us?” We cannot wait to see what this does for interest and ratings in the sport, and whether or not the possible parity that so many have wished for brings rewards in terms of viewers, ratings, interest and excitement. Similarly, there is no Breanna Stewart this year, a clear cut, obvious Player of the Year, before the season even began. It will be a race to see who can elevate their game, and who can take their team to the top; because the Player of the Year does not have to have dominant stats, just be a dominant player on the court. That is something that can be done in victories, improving your game and your teammates, and that is just a beginning. Without further ado then, the Dishies for Pre-season All-American and Player of the Year: National Player of the Year: A’ja Wilson, South Carolina The subject of the attached “In her own words,” Wilson needs to be the difference maker for Coach Dawn Staley’s team if they are to contend for the national title.  As Staley said, with leaders like Aleighsa Welch (freshman year) and Tiffany Mitchell (second year), Wilson was able to just go about her business on the court. This year, the junior will be asked to be a leader on and off the court. The local product has been a difference maker in the community, helping the G Hive grow to epic proportions, as the team has moved up the ranks and contended nationally. This year could be the year South Carolina wins it all.  Already a conference player of the year and All-American, there is no reason to doubt that Wilson will make t

The WNBA semi-final playoff rounds begin tonight, with Phoenix at Minnesota at 8 pm ET, and Chicago at Los Angeles following that at 10 pm ET. Both have star power and should be a lot of fun to watch, but we are particularly interested in the second series, the second-seeded Sparks and fourth-seeded Sky going at it. These teams both have tremendous stories and had tremendous years. Los Angeles rolled through a historic beginning of the year, and battled the Lynx for top spot in the league most of the season. They feature the league's Most Valuable Player, Nneka Ogwumike, and one of the most versatile players the game has seen in Candace Parker. Chicago has their own MVP candidate in Elena Delle Donne, who finished fourth in the league balloting, but is out for the series after a thumb injury required surgery. The versatility and overall skill of the Sky has been on display with players like Cappie Pondexter and Courtney Vandersloot picking up their scoring, and Jessica Breland and Imani Boyette rebounding and screening. Both of these teams also feature talented players that know their roles and execute them to near perfection. Jantel Lavender of the Sparks was a 2015 All-Star, starting every game for the season. She came into camp a little bit late due to her international commitments, and, as she says on the podcast, there was already some roles defined. Lavender is a win before stats player, and slide seamlessly into the 6th player role, and thrived. She was already named AP and our own "Dishie" 6th player of the year, and the league award is expected to follow. It is a pleasure to welcome Jantel Lavender to Dishin & Swishin to discuss the Sparks, her team, playing Chicago, looking ahead to a possible date with Minnesota, and more. Meanwhile on the Chicago Sky side, Tamera Young has been a vital cog in the team's success all season, especially down the stretch with Delle Donne absent. The longest te
