Podcast appearances and mentions of felicia lo

Felicia Lo spent most of her college years wearing a lot of black. The bright, happy color combinations that she loved as a child—lime green and hot pink, pink and yellow—didn't fit other people's idea of what colors went together, so she avoided wearing colors altogether. It took years to begin introducing color into her wardrobe again. As handdyeing began its groundswell in the early 2000s, Felicia began experimenting with dyeing fiber and then yarn. As it turned out, fiber artists across the world thought that her color sense was not only acceptable but irresistible. What began as a casual project in 2005 has grown into a company with a dozen staff members, hundreds of colorways, and a roster of yarn and fiber bases. Yet despite the company's larger scale, each skein or braid of fiber is still prepared, colored, rinsed, and packaged by hand. Maintaining consistency in their very handmade product has meant transforming SweetGeorgia from her initial solo project into a team effort, with staff members collaborating on new colors and initiatives. Felicia published her book Dyeing to Spin & Knit in 2017, with techniques for fiber artists to choose colors, apply them effectively, and use their handdyed creations. That same year, she founded the School of SweetGeorgia to offer online classes and community, first in handdyeing and later in knitting, spinning, weaving, and other fiber arts. Although her fiber-arts practices stretch from spinning to crochet, tapestry, machine knitting, and weaving, Felicia always has a knitting project on the needles . . . and these days, it's almost certainly not black. More of our conversation with Felicia, including what's on her needles and her suggestions on how to choose yarn colors for a knitting project how to choose the right yarn structure for a knitted project, is available in the library (https://farmfiberknits.com/library/CxLIBUXRRtOoXdNqgvPh_Q) for subscribers to Farm & Fiber Knits.

Good news... it's my birthday!!  Bad news... I literally NEVER work on my birthday… It's one of my rules... And as much as I love The Membership Guys podcast…  I can't break this rule.  So I'm taking the day off…. And that can mean only one thing...  CALLIE IS TAKING OVER! (And I get to eat cake) Join the other (some would say better) half of The Membership Guys for a very special episode, as Callie shares her top takeaways from season 4 of her podcast, Behind the Membership, and reveals the release date for season 5.   Listen to hear about:  The changes membership owners have made to better serve their audiences during the global pandemic. Caryn Liles explains how Covid 19 resulted in her transitioning her well established brick and mortar dog training business to an online membership model, which is now allowing her to provide more in-depth support than before. Katie Wardrobe talks about how she reduced the price of her membership and offered more free content to help teachers adapt to working online, which has increased the growth of her business.  How Carole Copeland Thomas's membership has become more important than ever due to the growing racial tensions across the U.S.  Why a one size fits all approach doesn't work when it comes to memberships. Pamela Mitchell explains how she created a model to suit her needs and Felicia Lo shares the benefits and challenges of running an online membership alongside a well established international yarn business. Steve Pavlina also talks about how he offers a high ticket annual membership that only launches for five days a year.  How season 4 reinforced the message that memberships give owners the freedom and flexibility to live life on their own terms. Whether it's accommodating health issues like in the case of Marisha Mets, building a location independent business enabling family travel like in the case of Trish Blackwell... Or using your membership to reach big goals and eventually give back to underprivileged communities like John Michaloudis.  How running memberships can lead to positive change. Warwick Brown explains how leaving his corporate role and launching his membership has led to a happier, more energized life and Warren Mcpherson shares how he reduced his income streams and took ownership of his time so he can spend more of it with his young family.     Links and Mentions:  https://www.themembershipguys.com/behind-the-membership/ (Behind The Membership podcast ) https://www.themembershipguys.com/caryn-liles/ (Launching Quickly in a Global Crisis with Caryn Liles) https://www.themembershipguys.com/katie-wardrobe/ (Double your member base during a pandemic with Katie Wardrobe)  https://www.themembershipguys.com/carole-copeland-thomas/ (Facilitating Change Through Difficult Conversations with Carole Copeland Thomas) https://www.themembershipguys.com/pamela-mitchell/ (Creating a High Level Coaching Membership with Coach Pamela Mitchell) https://www.themembershipguys.com/felicia-lo/ (Adding a Membership to a Successful Manufacturing Business with Felicia Lo) https://www.themembershipguys.com/steve-pavlina/ (Aligning Your Members to Your Vision with Steve Pavlina) https://www.themembershipguys.com/marisha-mets/ (Creating a Custom Web App for Your Members with Marisha Mets) https://www.themembershipguys.com/trish-blackwell/ (Fighting Through a Crisis of Confidence with Trish Blackwell) https://www.themembershipguys.com/warwick-brown/ (Staying Consistent as a One-Man Band with Warwick Brown) https://www.themembershipguys.com/john-michaloudis/ (Setting Ambitious Goals for Your Membership with John Michaloudis) https://www.themembershipguys.com/warren-mcpherson/ (More Time, More Freedom, More Income with Warren Mcpherson) Key Quotes:  “Memberships are game changers at the best of times, but in 2020 they proved that even more.” “Everything is possible with a...

Felicia Lo from School of Sweet Georgia, (http://schoolofsweetgeorgia.com) a membership site for fibre artists, is this week’s guest on Behind the Membership.  Felicia first started her blog way back in 2004 and her physical business manufacturing beautiful hand dyed yarns, Sweet Georgia Yarns, in 2005. Over the years Felicia has also taught classes for companies like Craftsy, written a book, and run a yarn based subscription box, so by the time she started her membership School of SweetGeorgia in 2017 she already had a huge amount of experience in her market. In this episode, we're talking all about how Felicia is able to run the membership site alongside her well established physical business, and how having the two overlapping, but still separate, sides of the business works well for her and gives her more flexibility and stability. We also talk about how Felicia used Patreon for her initial idea validation, which gave her the incentive and accountability to create her full membership site. And we talk about the team she has helping her to keep both businesses thriving, plus how she focuses on YouTube for attracting new members, her plans for bringing guest teachers to her in-person studio to record courses, and much, much more besides.

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast, we’re talking about building a fiber business with my guest Felicia Lo. Felicia is a designer and entrepreneur, born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. Her lifelong passion for knitting, color, and design led her to start the sweetgeorgia blog in 2004. A year later, SweetGeorgia was founded at her dining room table with nothing more than three skeins of sock yarn for sale on Etsy. Since then, SweetGeorgia has become a way of life where work and play are inseparable. In 2017, she published her first book “Dyeing to Spin & Knit” with Interweave Press and currently, she is developing the School of SweetGeorgia to offer online fiber arts education to color-obsessed crafters. When she’s not playing with yarn or hunting tacos and ramen, she’s chasing her two young children around with her orange-loving husband. +++++ This episode is brought to you by Darice, a premiere distributor and manufacturer of wholesale arts and crafts supplies with over 45,000 items across hundreds of product categories.

Felicia Lo Wong shares the story of how she built her SweetGeorgia yarn business.

Welcome to this month's Wool n' Spinning Radio! Thank you for joining me! I'm really excited to share this month's episode with you because it was recorded just a couple of weeks ago after Becca and I finished all of our spinning for the study. https://www.patreon.com/posts/wool-n-spinning-17020143If you are a long time Patron subscriber, you will be familiar with how these studies happen but for those who are new, I thought I would briefly recap. In late September, Katrina and I announced our plans for this study. We really wanted to focus this round on combination spinning since both of us absolutely love combo spinning. It was timely because there'd been the craze on Instagram over combo spinning for sweater quantities of yarn, which we'd explored in the past on the show, in the community, through the blog and on Ravelry. There are several ideas behind this colour study:Exploring our comfort with colour often begins with studying the colour wheel and understanding how colour can play together in fibre, yarn and fabric,Those many braids of fibre in our stash that we've collected aren't that different from one another as we begin to pull them out and line them up (after all, there are only so many colours in said colour wheel!), and finally,Combining colours, without having to spin different fibres at the same time, is a great way to be introduced to a new (or new-ish) fibre while focusing on colour!The previous Wool n' Spinning Radio episode with Felicia Lo that addressed colour management, the colour wheel and combing colours (although we got woefully off topic) is here. I hope you enjoy listening this month!As always, happy spinning,-r.

Welcome to Wool n' Spinning Radio. Thank you for joining me this month! I am so excited to welcome Felicia Lo onto the show this month. She is one of my mentors, which she may not know, and the reason is because of her generosity, kindness and openness about her life, SweetGeorgia Yarns, and being a mom. Whenever we chat, we always get carried away and go off on many tangents because we have a lot in common besides fibre. We've transitioned to being moms at similar times in our lives and often bounce ideas, books and information off one another. Also, we both love snowboarding and running so fair warning, we chat about those things in the last 10 minutes or so of the podcast! I hope you don't mind and I won't be offended if you turn us off a bit early! Originally, we had hoped to chat about colour and combination spinning those braids from our stash but like I mentioned, we often get woefully off track! https://www.patreon.com/posts/wool-n-spinning-16562031I hope you enjoy our conversation this month. This is a month with a bonus episode coming to you so please watch for that in the coming weeks!Until next time,Rachel

Just a little bit of knitting this week, but a ton TON of spinning finished up!  I also do a book review of Felicia Lo's new book, Dyeing to Spin and Knit. I picked it up from my local library, and I'm so glad I did! If you are looking for my new weaving podcast, you can find The Weaving Show here. It is currently only available on YouTube.  I've also started a site for the show notes, which can be found here.  I will post new episodes as I have more weaving projects and plans to talk about.  I have no intention of discontinuing Snappy Stitches, and will continue to talk about my knitting and spinning here.I mentioned Tudor Monastery Farm, Edwardian Farm, and historian Ruth GoodmanMusic"Modern Jazz Samba" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

This is our first ever Q&A episode and Felicia answers YOUR questions! I received nearly 750 question suggestions and finally picked a few popular questions to answer... Questions about craft and creativity, getting creatively unstuck, starting and growing an indie yarn dyeing business, and how I feel about the future of fibre arts, to name just a few! I absolutely loved being able to answer your questions and I hope you enjoy this episode!  In this episode, we talk about: 3:30 How do all your different craft practices inform and inspire the others? (link: Emma Welford's Ribbons Cardigan) 6:15 Can you offer three tips for getting unstuck? When you are stuck in a rut or a having a creative block. (link: Episode 44 with Shannon Cook on meditation for creativity) 11:45 Did you study color theory? How do you go about creating colours ... How do you arrive at the choices? Where do you take your inspiration for colours? (link: http://www.xrite.com/hue-test and http://www.color-blindness.com/farnsworth-munsell-100-hue-color-vision-test/) 15:35 Do you EVER do muted colors ? (LOVE the brights — but I am just curious) (link: sweetgeorgiayarns.com/colours/) 16:00 You are strongly focused on color. What about neutrals or monochromatic yarns? Could these have a place in your creative thinking? 18:15 I would love to know more about your own business process: how did you get started and grow your business? How do you keep things fresh? what percentage of your work is delegated and how much do you take on?

Did you ever imagine the business would be what it has become? 22:00 How hard it was to start your business? Did you ever think about giving up? 24:30 Your work is clearly fulfilling. What is it about yarn, dyeing, customers, etc. that makes your work so satisfying? 25:45 Do you think there is room for more indie yarn dyers? It seems that there are so many already but not sure if it will happen for me but one day maybe. 27:20 Are you hopeful or fearful for the future of the craft? Has the new generation embraced the fibre arts well enough to ensure that it endures? 28:30 What have you learned about yourself since you started doing the podcast? What do you cherish the most about these conversations?     LET'S CONNECT https://sweetgeorgiayarns.com https://www.facebook.com/SweetGeorgiaYarns https://instagram.com/sweetgeorgia

Meet visual designer and entrepreneur, Felicia Lo, born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. In 2005, she founded Sweet Georgia Yarns, an artisan hand-dyed yarn company that expresses her passionate, relentless, and unapologetic love of color. In this episode, Felicia explains why she got into and an industry "saturated" with hand-dyers (no pun intended). Driven by a desire to dye yarns that she wanted to work with personally, she became passionate about the process and hand-dying her own yarns became an artistic expression. Felicia followed this as her compass, which led to the success she experiences today.

In this episode, the girls chat about multi-colored shawls. Susie tries to get everyone drunk, and Danie says 'Current Projects' like a pro. Miscellaneous things mentioned include Susie's Bob & Weave sock pattern release (use code '3RDBDAY' to get 33% off through October 9, 2015), Danie's first and second Mama Vertebraes, and way too many multi-colored shawl patterns to link to. Please check out Susie's queue and Danie's favorites for patterns mentioned. Events One Twisted Tree will be at the Nebraska Knit & Crochet Guild's Fall Retreat's market at Mahoney State Park on Sunday, September 27, 2015. Contest To win a copy of the gorgeous Agatha Socks pattern by  the fantastic Claire of the NH Knits podcast, post in the thread on the Ravelry group. Finished Projects Susie finished her Third Birthday Socks and they are a BIG hit! She also started and finished the pattern sample for her new shawl design the Hellebore Shawl. Danie finished her Sugared Violets after a couple sons of a stitch. They were worth it though, because the finished shawl is stunning. Current Projects Susie is banging out her second Bang Whiz sock, and has reached the project's tipping point. She also worked on her second Bob & Weave sock. She finished the body on her Peekaboo sweater and picked up the stitches for the first sleeve. It's a little slow going because she's magic-looping, and it's not her favorite. Danie worked a bit on her Featherweight Cardigan, and one her Stained Glass Sock Blanket. She also cast on Corrugated Box by von Hinterm Stein with One Twisted Tree Lavish in Shrewd Lady Mary. New to Me Susie has been enjoying a new-to-her audio podcast called The Sweet Georgia Show, hosted by Felicia Lo of Sweet Georgia Yarns.  Enhance the Stash Danie celebrated her birthday by treating herself to a Single Shot bag from Kitchen Counter Crafter, an Oh! Loops fingering-weight skein in Mermaid's Song, and a Lo-Lo bar.
