More than spinning, weaving, stitching, or any of the other crafts she's written and published about, Linda Ligon is fascinated by the people who make traditional textiles. From Peruvian spinners to Miao embroiderers to Navajo weavers, the people who make cloth the way their ancestors did have a special interest for her. Many of the people who know Linda Ligon's work don't know her by name (which is just fine with her). Linda founded Interweave in 1975, and it went on to become a craft juggernaut. After selling the company, she founded Thrums Books, which published highly illustrated, immersive books about traditional textiles around the world. She cofounded Long Thread Media in 2019, bringing three of her original publications (Spin Off, Handwoven, and PieceWork) home. Bringing together textiles, stories, words, and images is Linda's life work—but she never loses her fascination for one person in particular: the reader.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, Bead Fest is back and will be held in person this year for the first time in Lancaster. August 17th through the 20th , Bead Fest will celebrate 20 years of existence at the Lancaster Marriot in Penn Square, 25 South Queen St., and plans to bring shopping, educational workshops, vendors, and more. With an expectation of about 4,000 attendees for this year's Bead Fest, Katie Hacker, content manager for Interweave said she knows it will be special because of Lancaster's vibrant community and the opportunity to bring people together through jewelry making. "I think it's a really powerful therapy for the instructors who are there, for the people who are coming to visit, shop, play, and learn," said Hacker. "And for us working there, it's really important for us to be able to get together and share the significance of these objects that are so small, but they really do carry a lot of weight."

It's called "frogging" because you rip-it, rip-it, rip-it out. Then there's tinking, which is just knitting in reverse! (Technically that would be gnittink, I suppose, but let's just go with it.) I did a kind of iffy job of explaining using dental floss as a lifeline. Interweave explains it better here (https://www.interweave.com/video/yarn-hacks/lace-knitting-dental-floss-lifeline/).

In this interview with Rotem Brayer, Debbie Korn, PsyD, explains the different categories of clinical interweaves and how to unstick EMDR reprocessing.
In this episode, Lindy Hughson, managing editor & publisher of PKN Packaging News, Chris Jackson, self-adhesive national manager at Ball & Doggett and Matt Bowman, production manager at Interweave Group, discuss how packaging labels in the premium beverages sector are a platform for consumer engagement and telling the brand story, including its sustainable positioning.The discussion starts with a brief background on Chris and Matt's career and the partnership between the two companies, and then very quickly moves into consumer trends in the premium beverages market. This includes the impact of COVID-19 on buying behaviour, the trend towards premium products and the associated importance of a well-designed label that delivers an emotional impact for the consumer.Chris and Matt review some of the new products available to enhance not only the visual impact of the pack on shelf, but also how a product feels when held, the use of new label materials that go well beyond paper, and aspects such as back lamination, opacity and translucency that can bring packaging to life on shelf . They acknowledge the explosion in variety of label artwork can create a visual overload for consumers, particularly in booming categories like craft beer, and discuss how labelling has gone beyond design elements like font and colours. This leads to a discussion about Four Pillars gin packaging along with the creation of labels for short run, limited edition products.The episode rounds out by covering the increased demand from brand managers and consumers for sustainable packaging which has led to an increased use of paper and board along with environmentally friendly inks. Matt says sustainability is topping the design agenda for brands, and Chris highlights some of the new, sustainable products his company is providing. We wrap up on the importance for brands of making an impact with the right choices in packaging design.------------------------------The PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of PKN Packaging News, owned and published by Yaffa Media.The views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of PKN Packaging News, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.

STORY BLUEPRINT TEMPLATE Two elements of persuasive communication are logic and emotion. Both are important to your success in an assessment center. Telling stories will emotionally engage your audience in your message. Interweave facts into your story to cover both logic and emotion. This Story Blueprint Template will help you create and refine stories to use in your assessment center. Writing out the story gives you clarity. After writing out the story, practice speaking the story. This template will help you prepare for oral boards, presentations, writing assignments, narratives on reports, and many other areas in the assessment center. There are 5 basic elements to structure your story. Once you have your basic structure, you can expand the story as needed. Who: Who is the main character in the story? Where: Where does the story take place? Want: What does the character want in the story? Problem: What is the problem or conflict that keeps the character from getting what they want? Conflict helps to create an emotional connection. Resolve: How does the story end? Does the character get what they want? How does the character evolve in the process? Example: Who: Firefighter Jake Where: Canyon Fire Department, AZ Want: He wants to be successful at promotion and follow his father's footsteps. Problem: He keeps failing at promotional tests. Resolve: He finds a mentor who helps him succeed and test #1 on the captain's test. It is important to keep your stories relevant to the position you are testing for. Use your life experience, both personal and professional, as long as it relates to the position you are testing for. Some of the stories you should prepare for the test include the following: Why do you want to promote? What have you done to prepare for the position? Your life experience that makes you stand out from the other candidates. Example of time you have successfully managed conflict. Your strengths Your weakness A role model in your life and why. A time you had to overcome adversity www.promotionplaybook.com

Hannah hangs with Louisa, her long time pal and fellow knitter. Work with Interweave brought these two together, but the thread they follow when they jump into the rabbit hole of their friendship uncovers so much more. It's about commuknitty, love, and sometimes, the color green. Read the show notes: https://www.interweave.com/knitting-nerdcast/stitch-commuknitty Learn more about your ad choices.

Gentle I bask in the light of your candid beauty, And feel myself pulled towards the same, I study at the shrine of your heart's duty, And feel your soft silences, like even softer rain. All my edges are gone from me, I am a pebble in your hand. You are my mighty river, And I hug you as the sand. In your eyes, I see them there, The luminous curtains: aurora, A lustrous shimmering, O're the nights' black dome, Without which, beauty's the poorer. My Jesus your beauty and your living streams, Interweave the vibrant tapestries of all my dreams – Your loveliness gives me courage, Your goodness makes me trust, That my soul may yet flourish, That I can do yet what I must.
Monday (05-04-2020) my guests were Shannon and Jason Mullett-Bowlsby, the dynamic DIY duo known as the Shibaguyz… the inspired creators of Shibaguyz Designz Studio. Their award winning crochet, knit, and sewing designs have been featured in and on the covers of dozens of domestic and international publications. Together, the Shibaguyz team has over 300 published patterns and 11 books credited to their name since their first design was featured on a magazine cover in 2010. Currently, they are finishing work on a new book with C&T Publishing scheduled for release December 2020. In addition to their design work, the Shibaguyz are sought-after freelance book-packaging designers having crafted books and photography for major publishing companies like Sterling Publishing, Leisure Arts, and Creative Publishing. The Shibaguyz have been teaching adults for 30+ years. Their enthusiasm, quirky sense of humor, and relatable teaching style have made them sought after teachers in both local and national venues like STITCHES Events, Sew Expo, and Houston Quilt Market. In addition to their live classes, the Shibaguyz also have a wide range of online classes available from Blueprint and Interweave. Shannon and Jason are proud ambassadors for Aurifil, Clover, BERNINA, Horn of America, the Daylight Company, and are members of the Justice League (yes, they have capes to prove it). Shannon and Jason live in Seattle, Washington with their three Shiba Inu who, more or less, support their ventures in sewing, stitching, and crafting… so long as enough time is taken for walks and treats. Full disclosure… the Shibaguyz are not only very creative people, they are also two of my very good friends. So the show did get away from us a bit. It was still fun. Please check it out.

This week Felicia is talking with writer and spinner: Debbie Held from Atlanta, Georgia. If you've been following our news at SweetGeorgia this year we created a brand new Ambassador Program this past August and introduced nine people in the knitting and fibre arts world to help SweetGeorgia share the love of colour and craft and Debbie is one of those ambassadors. Debbie was chosen as an ambassador due to her passion for handspinning and her ability to share it with the community in such an encouraging and inviting way. She has written for Interweave, Schacht Spindle Company, Spin Off, Ply magazine, and more. And her writing has led to teaching opportunities all over the world. We hope you'll join us for the chat today! "...finding spinning has brought me an entirely new, incredibly rewarding life...

A finished sweater, progress on a sock spin, and a new source for fabric to make a wearable muslin! The Back Porch Niamh by Isabell Kraemer Tour de Fleece I’m spinning for sock yarn on my Louët S10 DT using beautiful fiber from Inglenook Fibers. Interweave article by Star Athena
#155! James Rose, host of Who Kicked The Corner Flag, joins me for a timeless discussion on the UEFA, the Champions League, clubs, fans, and the weaving together of all of them. This discussion stems from an article I wrote (link below) in May criticizing fans for their, in my opinion, misguided and uneducated complaints lodged at UEFA over the high costs of traveling to and attending the Champions League Final. James and I both came into it with an open mind and willingness to understand each other which is extremely rare in today's day and age, especially on social media. And in the end, we saw, especially me, that we're not that far away from each other, especially after hearing each other out. It was a great chat and I know you'll enjoy it.

Episode 28 FO, Wip, Stash, Wearables, Knitting Plans, Knitting Talk – wool allergies, On the Run, Out and About FO Purple shawl in some deep stash, Queensland Sugar Rush, for myself! Also, it’s the last sample made of a new pattern that I will be releasing over the holiday weekend – keep an eye on Instagram/Facebook/Ravelry group because it will be free for the first few days as a thank you to the knitting community. This year has been amazing and a lot of it is thanks to the amazing women and men in the fiber world. I started this podcast, went to Stitches United and SSK for the first time, went back to Rhinbeck and have interacted with so many of you and this is my small way of saying thanks. Wip Only other wip I worked on was my Mahalo sock by Dana Gervais. Full disclosure, she’s my tech editor, but she’s also an amazing sock designer and I am loving this pattern. I have scrawny ankles so I tweaked the narrowest size to be a little narrower and it was easy to adjust – you could also easily adjust it bigger, and the lace pattern is memorizable after a few times through so I’ve really enjoyed working on it. Knitting it in CoBaSi by Hikoo, a cotton, bamboo, silk and nylon blended sock yarn. Stash Coming Next Week Wearables It’s been cold the last 6 weeks and I didn’t have time to put this segment in the last episode, so I’ll quikly summarize – I’ve been wearing Poema by Vera Sanon a lot. Also, I’ve been wearing my (until now) only two shawls a lot, Maris Stella by Anna Victoria and May Flowers, an old pattern of mine, over store bought sweaters to stay warm. Also I’ve been going back and forth between wearing my Hamilknit Hat by Emily Straw from Knitting Butterflies podcast and the Twist and Shout hat by Michele DuNaier which is a simple cabled hat. Knitting Plans I want to lengthen the sleeves of my Empire Tunic by Lily Go, knit in Frog Tree’s Picobo, a cotton/bamboo blend. I love this top but since I’m always cold I’ll get more wear out of this if it has long sleeves and not ¾ sleeves. Also, I want to pull out my English Garden Wedding Kimono that I knit years and years ago and finally do the embroidery. This is from the Unofficial Downton Abbey Knits from Interweave and I picked this pattern because the embroidery makes this sweater just amazing. The Firefly I got at my LYS the last few weeks are destined for that. Knitting Talk I’ve had a couple of people ask about my wool allergy recently so I thought we’d devote this section to fiber and animal allergies. I am not a medical professional, so please take what I am saying with that in mind, but I will share what I know with you. First off, yes, wool allergies are real – you can be allergic to sheep just like you can be allergic to cats and dogs. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to all 3 to varying degrees, and also to horses and goats. I just happen to get the worst physical reaction to sheep whereas I have 2 cats and all I get is a stuffy nose sometimes when they shed. You can also have a reaction to the lanolin in the wool – if that’s the case then you might be able to work with a superwash wool where all the lanolin is stripped out so they can smooth down the scales in the wool fibers. Well meaning knitters often try to tell me I’m just sensitive to lanolin. I usually just nod and smile. Lastly, your skin could just be sensitive, in which you get itchy with certain wools. This isn’t an actual allergy but a form of contact dermatitis, which is just a fancy way of saying that your skin is sensitive and something is irritating your skin. Wearing a t-shirt underneath usually solves the problem. So, how do I know I’m allergic to sheep? I found out when I was 4. My great-grandmother bought me a lovely little coat and hat set. Mom bundled me up and sent me off to pre-school and I came home covered in hives. Poor Gram felt awful, but she had no way of knowing, I just happen to have very severe allergies. A skin-prick allergy test the next year confirmed I am allergic to every animal they tested for, to varying degrees. Last time I had a major reaction was 2002 in London, England. My now-husband and I had just gotten to Europe for a 45-day backpacking trip around the continent. We went to bed very jet-lagged and I never even thought to check the content of the blanket because in the US budget hotels do not have nice blankets. It was hot and we didn’t pull it up over us. Sometime in the night I must have tucked my feet under the blanket because when I woke up in the morning my ankles had literally doubled in size. I could get 2 pairs of socks to fit, but none of the 3 pairs of shoes I brought. I finally had to un-lace my sneakers and jam my feet into them so I could leave the hotel room. It took about a week for them to shrink back to normal size – if I hadn’t been power-walking around European capitals it probably would have gotten better a bit faster but I was NOT about to miss anything, swollen ankles be damned. Out and About January – Vogue Knitting Live in NYC, if you’re coming too let me know! March – Stitches United in Hartford, CT. A quick note for any of you debating coming, Stitches United 2018 is in CT but in 2019 it will be in Georgia. Knitting Universe has announced that Stitches United will be alternating between the Northeast and the Southeast. So, if you were planning on going to CT in 2019, go this year instead.

Episode 04 of Loopholes & Litwicks (Season 5). The path of following Carl and his "other" continues. Carl isn't the only one with goals that we learn about. While the caravan Carl is with continues to put on shows and travels, it stops in a familiar place. Unlike other seasons of Mythical, it's strongly recommended that you listen to both Seasons 1 (Dungeons & Dragonites) & 3 (Mazes & Magikarps) since this season starts right where Season 3 leaves off. Keep in mind that Season 4 is a prequel. Mythical is present by the team at Pokémon Podcast (@pokemonpodcast), It’s Super Effective.

Today Felicia is chatting with Patty Lyons: a nationally recognized knitting teacher and technique expert who is known for teaching the “why” not just the “how” in the pursuit of training the mindful knitter. She specializes in sweater design and sharing her love of the much maligned subjects of gauge and blocking. Patty teaches at knitting shows around North America including Vogue Knitting Live, Stitches, and more. She can also be found teaching online through Interweave, Annie's, and Craftsy. Patty's “Improve your Knitting” Craftsy class was named “the most popular Craftsy class” in 2013. These days, Patty is also sharing a lot of her knowledge and instruction through her knit alongs on Ravelry. Please join us today as Felicia chats with Patty about her experiences teaching in the knitting industry!

Hello my lovelies! Welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast and the show notes from Episode 21 - For the love of socks. In this episode I cover: Old dog, new tricks; FOs; WIPs; DIPs; Review of Step Into Crochet; Feeding the habit; Big up and What's good? This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: 1 - Quick news beats Crochet Cakes - I am very pleased and relieved to say the Clarisabeth and Caroline (and family) are well. They live in Puerto Rico which was hard hit by Hurricane Maria. The news came via Alyson from the Keep Calm and Carry Yarn podcast. I have just donated money to the Alianza Somos fund because they are concentrating on areas such as power and communications, two things that will help to get infrastructure back up which should make general aid relief easier. It may be some time before we hear from Clarisabeth again, and it is just great to know that they are well. Logging your projects - I am often asked how I log my designs and projects and at long last, I have pulled together a 'How I log my designs, WIPs and FOs' blog in case you are interested too. Setting up a craft group - I asked the good folk of Instagram if they were interested in finding out how I set up and run Woolgathering Sandbach. The answer was yes, so in the November podcast, I will go through how I went about getting it off the ground, how it has evolved and how much time it takes me to manage the group. Vicki Brown giveaway - I finally got to meet Vicki face to face at Yarndale and she passed me a lucky bag for a lucky listener. It has a temporary tattoo, gauge, wool needle, mini skein and 10% discount code. If you want to win, head to the Ravelry thread 'Vicki Brown giveaway' and let me know what your favourite colourway is from her range. #FridayisDyeDay - if you fancy getting involved on Instagram, a few of us are going to have a Dye Day on Friday 27th October. Either use the # or follow it to see what dye creations have been made across the globe. I am going to do some natural dyeing using conker husks/ shells and probably some professional acid dyeing too. Claudia (Crochet Luna podcast) is going to use acid dyes, Charlie (Love Charlie podcast) is doing natural dying with avocado stones and skins. You can even use food colourants, so you really don't have to go out and buy specialist equipment. If you don't have undyed yarn, you can overdye existing yarn that you aren't that fond of. A quick internet search will give you lots of ideas and thoughts on how to dye your yarn. I will also be pulling together a blog post in advance to give details on how you can get involved. 2 - Old dog, new tricks It's amazing where you can glean information on crochet techniques from. This month's Old Dog New Tricks is all about a little trick that I picked up from a pass away comment somebody made on Instagram. It's a neat little way of increasing stitches without it being as obvious. It doesn't make a huge amount of difference to your finished object but I do think it is a little less obvious. Instead of crocheting two stitches into one, crochet one on the front loop only and the second in the back loop only. Give it a try and let me know what you think. 3 - Finished Objects The sock theme has continued well into September as I pull together the review of 'Step Into Crochet' by Rohn Strong. I would love to say that I now have three pairs of finished socks but actually I have one pair and three singles. The book review explains why... I have been working on lots of other design projects that I am hoping to share with you shortly. In the meantime, this is my other FO for September. This gorgeous little cardi is called Crumpet and was designed by Erika Knight. This is my new go-to baby cardigan; it's really quick to work up and the 6-12 month version took just over 100g of DK yarn. There were two purposes to this cardigan. The first was to have a crocheted item to send to Knit for Peace with the card to explain what Crochet Circlers had been up to during the summer with Festival of Finishing and helping me to raise funds. The second was to show the journey of recording, washing, blocking, sewing seams and choosing trims as part of my Blog Hop for the Back to School Sweater CAL. Last month I had made a start on my Basket Weave Cushion Cover by Jo Janes (AKA Jojotwinkletoes) and now it is an FO! I was doing more stash diving and using up odds and sods. This is Aurancania Milidon (no longer available) and was actually a shawl that I never wore and so frogged to reuse the yarn. I really love the final effect and Autumnal feel of the cushion. It's going to be used outside when I am sitting crocheting and need extra squish and back support. Thanks for a great pattern Jo, I definitely feel like I now have a good understanding of front and back post trebles! 4 - Works in progress I have one WIP on the go this month and it is a whopper! It's my #BackToSchoolSweaterCAL. I went all round the houses with this project - incapable of deciding what I was going to make. I finally decided on the Aberdeen Castle Cable Sweater and after about seven rows I realised that I just wasn't enjoying the cabling process. Back to the drawing board and a pattern that I have had queued up for a long time - Sicily. It's a free pattern by Rowan and can be downloaded straight from Ravelry. Although the pattern calls for a 4 ply cotton, I am using Shilasdair 4ply (lambswool, angora, cashmere) and it is working up very nicely. It is light, warm and by the end of the jumper I suspect that I will have only used 350g of yarn. Future WIP is going to be my second version of Criss-cross using Gym Nut from Green Elephant Yarns. This is a CAL with Olann and which will start in November. If you fancy joining in, you need a 2 x 100g of 4ply with at least 375m per 100g. More details will follow on Ravelry and Instagram. 5 - Designs in Progress There are designs that I can't show you yet because they are for yarn brands and then there are ones that I put out for myself under Fay Dashper-Hughes Designs. Whilst I always aim within the podcast not to bombard you with KNIT IT - HOOK IT - CRAFT IT shop updates, it occurs to me that you may actually be interested in the design process and how it moves on from one month to the next. So, this month I am going to show you a design in progress and you can let me know whether this is something that interests you or not. This design came to me at Yarndale when I bought the yarn from River Knits Yarns. Their colours are just fabulous and instantly knew how I was going to use the colours in a cowl, mittens and possibly hat too. I had put the puff stitch into a shawl that I was designing and it just wasn't right, so it got logged away for a couple of weeks, waiting for the right yarn/stitch combo to pop up. I love how this pattern is working up. It's going to be called 'Barley' and should be out later this year if all goes well. 6 - Review of Step Into Crochet and £5 discount code I am loving the fact that crocheted socks are getting more air time with more people making them and appreciating the warmth of crocheted socks on their feet. I received Step Into Crochet as a gift from Claudia of the Crochetluna podcast. She is a lovely! So, here are a few caveats before I get into the review proper: I have long, thin, pointy feet and thin ankles. This makes hand crocheted and knitted sock fitting a bit harder. Standard patterns don't fit me as well and I usually have to make changes to get something that fits well. I have an aversion to using anything below a 3mm hook. If you are starting a new crocheted or knitted sock pattern, be prepared to have a sacrificial first sock that is either going to be wonky or frogged. The three points given above have to be taken into account when you read the review because they are issues that I have to work around when making socks. The book is very detailed - which I love. There are sections on understanding sock construction, the differences in sock yarn and working out your foot measurements. This information is incredibly helpful, especially if you have never crocheted or knitted socks before. There are 16 sock patterns in the book and two of those have been provided as cuff-down and toe-up options, so really there 18 patterns in total. These patterns build up really nicely from plain one colour patterns through to cables, lace, stripes etc. What I particularly liked was that different toe, heel and cuff patterns were given too, so you could learn different techniques and see what works best for your feet. If you have a high instep, for instance, you may need to swap out for a different heel type that gives more stitches. If you want to get to the point of having really good fitting handmade socks, it usually takes a few pairs and some chopping and changing of construction before you get there and that needs to be taken into account when you are working from sock pattern books. I chose to work up three separate patterns from the book so that I could review it well and test out different sock yarns at the same time. Gorman Toe-up was worked up over three socks and two different yarns. On each occasion I used a 3mm hook and because of that, I had to rework the pattern over 40 sts rather than the smallest size provided which was 44 sts. This wasn't a difficult task. Things I loved about the book: The detail given on construction, sizing etc. The stitch guide for each pattern is given at the top of each pattern so you don't have to flick to a glossary at the back. The designs fit really well and are easy to adapt to your preferred length of cuff etc. Good photography which helps to understand the construction of the socks. Lots of ankle socks so you get patterns that can take you through more seasons. Issues I had with the book: At times, small parts of the pattern were missing. In Mordecai, the stitch guide for foundation double chain crochet (US) is incomplete. If you didn't know that, you would struggle to get the sock started. In the Azalea pattern, the written instructions are incorrect. It says to repeat rnd 6 to complete rnd 7 but that is incorrect and I only know that because I read the accompanying chart. These aren't big issues because I have used these techniques enough times but a first-timer coming to these patterns with less confidence may struggle. It feels like a more thorough tech edit was required to check and double-check the patterns and provide better instructions in some areas. Again, I managed workarounds and could understand where the problems were but only because I have knitted and crocheted quite a few pairs of socks now. Would I recommend this book to others? Even with the issues that I have outlined above, I would still recommend the book. I would just encourage people to read through the pattern thoroughly, be prepared to frog or have an initial wonky sock until the perfect length, stitch count etc is reached. It may also be worth heading to project pages on Ravelry where people like me have put up notes explaining changes and pattern work arounds. There are currently no errata links for this book on Interweave's website or Ravelry. In the UK the book retails for £16.99 and I think this is good value for money. Eighteen patterns, loads of upfront information before you even start and loads of techniques to learn. You just have to have the confidence to know when something probably isn't quite right and be able to work around that. In the UK the book retails for £16.99 and I think this is good value for money.

The discount is available until the 15th December 2017. 7 - Feeding the habit Here are some of the things that I acquired at Yarndale: 1 - Yarn from Black Horse Yarns 2 - Dorset Button kit from Tania at TJ Frog 3 - Amazing yarnyness from RiverKnits 4 - More buttons from Textile Garden 5 - Vintage scissors from Eliza Conway 6 - Some paper yarn to play with. That RiverKnits yarn in the middle is called Indian Giant Squirrel - just look at it unskeined and the the actual beast below! And here is my amazing prize from Vivian and Alyson from the Keep Calm and Carry Yarn podcast. This is an exceptionally well-made bag form Vivian via her Pearl and Plum shop. 8 - Big up I have a couple of podcasts for you to take a look at. Both are on YouTube. Deanne from Addydae Designs is very well known for her crochet designs such as the Blurre shawl, but she has a podcast too. She lives in Australia which gives it a different twist for me and is very open about her design process and sharing with the audience. The second is the Thread the Love podcast on YouTube. Amber has a couple of episodes out so far. She is a crochet designer and so far her episodes are both under 30 minutes. 9 - What's Good Clarisabeth and Caroline are well - it is worth reiterating that this is very good news. I am loving that Charlie from the Love Charlie podcast is local to me. It is really nice to have a podcaster just down the road. I have just interviewed Becci and Markus from RiverKnits. I really enjoyed doing the interview with them and it reminded me how much I enjoy the process, so I need to get out on the road and get interviewing people again! You can hear the interview or watch it. See you all in November.

In this episode Kara is joined by Leanne Pressly, the CEO of Stitchcraft Marketing. Principal owner and multi-hat wearing fearless CEO of Stitchcraft Marketing. Leanne holds an M.A. in Sociology and a B.A. in English and has 20+ years of experience in sales and marketing. Prior to starting the agency, she owned a website design and hosting business for 10 years. She’s been a knitter since she was 18 and loves to spin yarn, make her own clothes and quilt. She lives in Colorado with her husband, teenage daughter and a menagerie of pets. “The rapid pace of change means you're NEVER going to be in front of your social channels all the time. Half the battle is just having a solid social media plan and following through on the work. Let the rest go.” -Leanne Pressly [Tweet "Soaking up TONS of #marketing advice from Leanne of @Stitchcraftmktg on #PowerPurlsPodcast!"] Episode highlights: Leanne began her career in the fiber crafts when she met Deb Robson while pulling weeds on a farm in Colorado! Listen to the episode to hear about Leanne's whimsical first knitting project. Leanne worked at Interweave while she finished her graduate school program in Colorado. Leanne's "light bulb moment" came when she realized that there was a need for fiber arts businesses to hire someone to mange their newsletters and social media. Stitchcraft's clients own businesses in all areas of the hand crafting world, from fabric to yarn to paper crafts and more. Stitchcraft manages many different areas of a client's business, depending on that client's needs. Stitchcraft's sweet spot is social planning, strategy, and execution but they also offer content planning and marketing, pattern support, and more. Leanne advocates that even a B2B (business to business) company needs to have a social media plan and an active presence on social media channels. Leanne says that the growth in the industry has been mostly positive: "Competition's good for everybody - it raises all ships," she says. Leanne started a podcast so that she could share the common advice she gives several clients with a wider audience. Leanne loves to invite guests to the show who can share their expertise with her listeners. In her daily life, Leanne still knits and spins regularly. She loves a simple project to help her unwind at the end of a long working day. Marketing is in Leanne's blood: her mother was a marketer and her father was an entrepreneur. Life and knitting have taught Leanne that she thrives best when she's focusing on the big picture. On Leanne's team, everyone has "a seat on the bus." So she builds that team according to the individual strengths that people bring to the bus. Leanne's big piece of advice for our viewers: "Don't be afraid to embrace what you're really good at, and really focus your career on that." What contributes to Leanne's day to day success? Zapier!

On today’s episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about the sewing and quilting industry with my guest, Pokey Bolton. Pokey Bolton was introduced to art quilting and the related needle arts in 1998, and ever since she took her first stitch (a fly) and embroidered her first motif (a spider), she has been entangled in this industry and doesn’t envision herself getting free. Art quilting and mixed-media have, quite literally, taken over her life—so much so that she left her doctoral program and full-time teaching job to found Quilting Arts Magazine® and later with John Bolton, Cloth Paper Scissors® magazine, as well as a line of books. After they sold their publishing business to Interweave, Pokey became the Editorial Director for the Quilt & Paper Division at Interweave and was founding host of Quilting Arts TV on PBS. In January 2012 she joined Quilts, Inc, the parent company of International Quilt Festival and Quilt Market, in the newly founded position of Chief Creative Officer. A little over two years later, she founded Crafting a Life, LLC, a media and events company based in Napa Valley, California offering media and boutique-style retreats. In January 2016, she launched CRAFT NAPA, an annual retreat held in downtown Napa. CRAFT NAPA includes crafting, sewing, collage, quilting workshops, wine education, wine excursions, and an Artists' Market. Connect with Pokey on her blog. +++++ Today's episode is sponsored by Deanne Fitzpatrick Rug Hooking. Deanne Fitzpatrick Rug Hooking Studio offers a contemporary look at a traditional craft.

Brainy Thing: 15:47 Behind the Redwood Curtain: 25:35Welcome to Episode: How the Distributive Practice Effect or Spacing Effect can help you learn skills in the fiber Arts.What we’re learning from our Knitting Catherine got a lot of satisfaction by completing Laura Nelkin’s Butin Collar. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/butin-collarMargaret created felted bangles from Mags Kandis’ Bevy of Bangles pattern, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bevy-of-banglesfrom the book Gifted, Lovely little things to knit and crochet http://www.amazon.com/Gifted-Lovely-Little-Things-Crochet-ebook/dp/B00DH40MIG/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1by Mags Kandis or get them for free from the Interweave website. Brainy Thing: The Distributive Practice EffectCatherine talks about the Distributive Practice Effect, first described by Herman Ebbinghaus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Ebbinghaus. In psychology,it is talked about as the Spacing Effect. http://www.aft.org/periodical/american-educator/summer-2002/ask-cognitive-scientist. Essentially, practicing something a little bit every day is more effective in learning than practicing for a long time for one day a week. Behind the Redwood Curtain: Ferndale, CA, the Victorian VillageCatherine introduces us to Ferndale, CA which has a large number of well preserved Victorian buildings. It is very well decorated around Christmas time.Knitting Tip:Margaret shares a tip from No Sheep for You by Amy Singer: When knitting socks in Cotton or a yarn with little memory, use ribbing to help the sock
Polyamory: It is the idea that you can love more than one person as long as you're doing it openly, honestly and with the full consent and participation of all involved. Valerie White will tell you all different aspects of Polyamory. Where do people find each other who are poly amorous? Why would you get involved in Polyamory? Is it a choice or orientation? Does the 3rd person live with the first couple? How does that work? Anyways, it's a fascinating subject no matter if your are a part of it or not. Bio: Valerie White has been a Unitarian Universalist for 53 years, lawyer, and director of Sexual Freedom Legal Defense and Education Fund, Valerie White has spoken on polyamory at many national and regional conferences. She has written for many periodicals, including Loving More, The World and The Humanist, and served on the boards of Church of the Larger Fellowship, Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness (their first president), Interweave and UU’s for Jewish Awareness. She has been president of the Unitarian Church of Sharon, MA and currently chairs the worship committee. A long-time sexual rights activist, she was president of the Vermont Civil Liberties Union. She has lived in an open triad for 21 years and is helping raise 13-year-old twins. Favorite Quote: “My feeling about technique in art is that it has about the same value as technique in lovemaking. Heartfelt ineptitude has its appeal and so does heartless skill; but what you want is passionate virtuosity.” John Barth, Giles Goat Boy Website Links: Sexual Freedom Legal Defense and Education Fund Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness Loving More Books of interest: Loving More: The Polyfidelity Primer Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality By Christopher Ryan Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships The Ethical Slut More Than Two Opening Up Final Credits: music thanks to: "Carefree", "Open Those Bright Eyes", "Sweeter Vermouth" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Marsha and Kelly both finished knitting their sweaters and both are big wins! (At recording time we both had a little left to go, but now that the episode is published we are finished). Marsha's Blue Juno sweater fits even better than she thought it would. Kelly's Purple Cherry Vanilla sweater is the perfect sweatshirt alternative and used yarn from her extensive stash of rescued weaving cones. Double win! Marsha is planning to finish her son's tricolor socks before the month of July is over. Inspired by others in the Warmth of Summer KAL, Marsha has started a Wispy Willow Cardigan using a spring green CoBaSi yarn from Hi-Koo. She has also been busy spinning some of the CVM fleece that Kelly gave her to try, and is making plans to wash and card the fleece that she got from The Black Sheep Gathering. Kelly has also been spinning a bit since returning from her trip and has some plans for Tour de Fleece. But mostly she has been finishing up current projects that she brought with her--a Rikke hat, for example. Kelly also explains why her decision to start beekeeping with foundationless frames has made the steep beekeeping learning curve even more steep. The Two Ewes review a wonderful first book by designer Corrina Ferguson. Review copies were kindly provided by the publisher, Interweave/F+W. Interweave also provided this information about the book: Knitting is not just for cold and snowy climates! For anyone who has ever stopped to wonder what knitters in the South are wearing—and knitting—for the changing seasons, Florida designer Corrina Ferguson has set out to show us in her new book, Warm Days, Cool Knits: Lighter Designs for Every Season (Interweave/F+W; $24.99; June 2015). “In the South we love to knit. And we want to knit pretty wearable things, not just accessories and household decorations,” explains Corrina. “That’s why I created this collection of patterns to showcase the knitted seasons of the South, with projects that are fitting for any climate.” Marsha and Kelly had almost an identical list of favorites from the book, including the tank shown on the book's cover. Kelly has started swatching already for one of the other tops in the book. Another big win! This book is full of great knitting patterns for warmer coastal climates like the Salinas and Seattle areas--not just the south. A copy of this wonderful book is awarded as one of the two prizes for the Warmth of Summer Knit Along that just ended. Check the episode to hear the winners.

Charr and Bronwyn are joining me today in The Blethering Room. We had some faulty brain synapses and we are blaming that on our Post Camp KIP Let Down. Also I had the mic too close to the computer so there is some background noise today that I normally don’t have. Grosbeaks are back and also the White Throated Sparrow!

Baby Sweater on Two Needles and more EZ This show is sponsored by Quince & CO www.quinceandco.com Thanks for the birthday wishes last week! Bereft by Robert Frost Baby Sweater on Two Needles by Elizabeth Zimmermann from Knitter’s Almanac. It is better known as February Baby Sweater. The February Lady Sweater (not by EZ) is actually more popular than the FBS. Projects on Ravelry: 6675 for Baby Sweater and 11,505 for FLS by Pamela Wynne. Knitter’s Almanac by Elizabeth Zimmerman. February. Babies Things. Have knitted everything in this chapter but the bonnet with the flap over the shoulders. Leggings. I have made at least two pair. Red and white striped ones were the cutest. Not the most practical garment for modern moms. Blanket knitted from center out. Have done it with lace and also in a heavier yarn with texture pattern and colorwork. Was told that pioneer woman put a cream or white border on blankets so Baby would perceive this is a boundary. Per my experience, did not work. Double knitting blanket was a carriage blanket. I used Schoolhouse Press Sheepsdown and my own handspun. May have steeked and put a zipper in it. Pete’s Socks…pulled off the colors! Handed Down Patterns. Topic started by nitiram. Her Mother’s slipper/bootie pattern--she called pods. Under “Some Things Never Change…” In The Pipeline: EZ Saddle Shoulder Sweater $14.99 Interweave knits Holiday Gifts. Holiday 2011 Some of my favorites are McHenry by Susan B Anderson, Hollyberry Bonnet and Cape by Kyoko Nakyoshi, and Handwork Mitts by Julie Turjoman. Recommended. High Note:Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls/Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Used the Best Whole Wheat Bread Recipe from www.urbanhomemaker.com. Divided dough in half. One half for a loaf of bread and the other half made two pans of cinnamon rolls. Streusel: ½ c brown sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. I use Penzey’s. Roll out dough. Spread with softened or melted butter. Sprinkle topping on and roll up. For the rolls I reserved a few Tbs topping. Took rolls out after 20 min. Brushed tops with butter and sprinkled on the streusel. Baked another 5 min. I read a letter from Elizabeth Zimmermann that was written to me in Jan 1980. A photo of the letter is on the show blog. www.knittingpipeline.com. References to Moebius and her development of the concept. The musical selection today is The Moon of Wintertime by Lydia McCauley.

CraftLit - Serialized Classic Literature for Busy Book Lovers
Hester embroiders! Puritans are explained! My is nearly done! AND MSW UPDATE: After Party that Guido (It'sAPurlMan) and Alanna (TactileTravel) and Jess (Ravelry) have put together—It's Saturday night in Columbia and we'll have food and some door prizes and hopefully a ton of fun. There's more info at . Interweave ROCKS–Go there NOW!!! Interweave is celebrating Earth Day by offering for a limited time. Digital subscriptions are great for the eco-conscious who are trying to save paper (or who are going paperless to stay organized and clutter-free)! And we love them because you can see the artwork in better detail; zoom in and out to better read the text; click on ads and go right to the website for more information; search your issues for specific articles; and so much more! Have you taken a look at one? For one week only (until 4/29/09) you can view the entire digital edition of the Quilting Arts April/May 2009 issue and Cloth Paper Scissors May/June 2009 issue. These magazines have a regular newsstand value of $7.99 each! INSIDE THE ISSUES The 2009 Craftlit Challenge! …for the first ever loves CraftLit Design Contest! We have dyed up a brand new colorway for our very special 70/30 wool/silk blend in a very special CraftLit colorway…a very rich, earthy, semisolid scarlet. Just what every self-righteous Puritan would choose to brand one who strays. We have of course named it The Scarlet Letter. TSL Yarn Such a yarn of course demands a fantastic design. That’s where we’re hoping CraftLit’s endlessly talented and creative listeners can help us. We’d like to challenge you to design something for the yarn inspired by the novel, the times, the characters. We’ll have a fantastic panel of celebrity judges pick the winner, who will receive the project’s worth of yarn. The details: 1) All entries should be designed with The Scarlet Letter yarn in mind (not necessarily in hand). Yarn specs:435 yards per cake. 70/30 merino wool/silk. True fingering weight: 4 ply with 14 wpi. 2) Knitting, crochet, weaving, tatting, macramé, nalbinding…if you can do it with yarn it’s fair game. 3) Entries must be in before the last chapter is posted to the CraftLit feed. 4) All designs must somehow incorporate “the letter” or an interpretation thereof. 5) To be eligible for the prize, the winning designer must agree to have their pattern available for free via the CraftLit website for 3 months after the conclusion of the contest. After that time all rights are retained in full by the designer and the free feed will be removed, pronto. 6) Entries should at a minimum include pictures of the final product and the complete pattern. Everything else we leave up to you. Let your imaginations run wild! And to sweeten the pot, The March Hare will donate 10% of the proceeds from the sales of The Scarlet Letter yarn to CraftLit for the duration of the contest. (Including the 3 month free pattern period for those inspired by the winning project…) So there you be CraftLit faithful. Go forth and create!
