A lifelong lover of fiber arts, Susan Strawn's career in textiles began in an unexpected corner: with training as a biomedical illustrator. She found cloth far more exciting than biology, so she turned her eye for detail to illustrating PieceWork magazine. She added photostyling to her duties, bringing textile stories to life and demonstrating the steps of various needlework techniques. After a decade on the staff of the magazine, she decided to devote herself to studying and writing about textiles, earning a PhD in Textiles and Clothing. Although her initial interest was in writing, she discovered that she loved teaching. She became a Professor in the Department of Fashion at Dominican University, with a roster of classes she loved to teach (and that would make a textile lover swoon to take). Now retired from the university, she is exploring the importance of textiles, especially knitting, in her own life through essays and illustrations. With a particular interest in everyday cloth and the insight it offers into women's lives, Susan's hands are always busy with needle, pen, or keyboard.

Listening to her college-aged daughter making calls for AmeriCorps in 2020, Laura Nelkin was surprised at how many people in her community faced food insecurity and hunger every day. A problem that had seemed far away suddenly felt much closer to home, and Laura wanted to find a way to help. She had a feeling that other knitters would want to help, too, so she dreamed up a group effort: the Knit for Food Knit-a-Thon (http://www.knitforfood.com/). In its first 4 years, the effort has raised over $1.25 million for Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and World Central Kitchen. 2025 is poised to be the largest event yet, with more teams and knitters joining the effort every day. How does it work? Until Saturday, April 5, 2025, crafters register to participate, either as members of a team or solo. Participants reach out to friends, loved ones, colleagues, and other contacts to make a financial pledge to support the effort. Then from 10 am to 10 pm Eastern Time on April 5, participants pick up your craft of choice and knit (or crochet or stitch or whatever you like). Some teams and local craft groups organize public meetups for support. Anyone raising at least $100 receives a link to online events including stretching and knitting ergonomics, live music, games, and presentations from the four benefiting charities. At the end of the day, you've enjoyed 12 hours on your favorite craft, strengthened the fellowship of crafters, and helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars that directly feed hungry people. Laura (and her saucy alter ego, Lola) develop dozens of innovative ideas every year, from original designs to bead-knitting techniques to a brilliant method for swatching to knit in the round while knitting flat. She documents her ideas and experiments on her YouTube channel, offers kits and mystery knit-alongs, and invites knitters to join her in real life on knitting-related tours and cruises each year. The Knit for Food Knit-a-Thon brings that spirit of fun and inventiveness to a much-needed cause, building the spirit of community with every stitch and donation.

Knits at the Flicks. A trend of craft cinema nights across Europe got us thinking about a topic we've never discussed before on the show.

It's the perfect time of year for quick knits, and we were so delighted to feature several patterns from George of 10 Hours or Less in our latest stash-buster pattern collection, Déjà Yarn. You can probably guess what kind of patterns George specializes in (ones that take less than 10 hours to make), but you'll be amazed to hear about his long career in the knitting industry that predates digital patterns. George also shares a glimpse inside his design process as he explains how he created his Art Deco Artisan Headband and Rolling Ribbing Hat for Déjà Yarn.   Plus, Lee, Stacey, and Andi chat about their current projects, the Axiom KAL, and knitting while watching movies or reading.    00:02 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast. 00:46 Lee and Stacey share what they've been up to. 06:50 Andi joins Stacey to chat about Axiom. 13:20 Stacey and Lee talk more in depth about Déjà Yarn. 20:05 Lee and Stacey and joined by George from 10 Hours or Less who shares his background. 30:47 George shares his process for his two patterns in Déjà Yarn. 42:27 Stacey and George give some hints about a future 12 Weeks of Gifting pattern! 43:17 George is a big part of the Indie Design Gift Along and provides more information about how to participate. 53:55 George shares where else to find him and his 10 Hours of Less patterns.  55:13 Credits   Swish Pops yarn https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-pops/c/5420478?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Lee's Swish Pops cardigan project (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/cropped-cardi Hawthorne DK https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/hawthorne-dk/c/5420481?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Lee's Movie Theatre Sweater (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/leethal/theya-pullover Axiom Sweater pattern https://www.knitpicks.com/axiom-sweater/p/52918D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Axiom knit-along https://blog.knitpicks.com/tag/axiom-kal/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Axiom progress so far https://www.instagram.com/p/CyOYAWsMCW8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== How to Convert a Seamed Sweater to Seamless https://blog.knitpicks.com/how-to-convert-a-seamed-sweater-to-seamless/?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Knitting & Reading At The Same Time blogpost https://blog.knitpicks.com/knitting-reading-at-the-same-time/?utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Deja Yarn: Single Color Stashbusters https://www.knitpicks.com/sale/deja-yarn-single-color-stashbusters/c/302139?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Prerogative Cowl https://www.knitpicks.com/prerogative-cowl/p/54214D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Holil Yeoh patterns: https://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/holli-yeoh/c/30026807?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Wonderfluff Ombre https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/wonderfluff-ombr/c/5420427?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Urwen Cowl https://www.knitpicks.com/urwen-cowl/p/54210D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Claire Slade patterns https://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/claire-slade/c/30026803?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Heatherly Worsted https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/heatherly-worsted/c/5420451?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 High Desert Worsted https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/high-desert-worsted/c/5420425?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Weekend Lounging Socks https://www.knitpicks.com/weekend-lounging-socks/p/54215D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Art Deco Artisan Headband https://www.knitpicks.com/art-deco-artisan-headband/p/54213D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Rolling Ribbing Hat https://www.knitpicks.com/rolling-ribbing-hat/p/54212D?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Swish Worsted https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-worsted/c/5420153?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Swish DK https://www.knitpicks.com/yarn/swish-dk/c/5420168?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 12 Weeks of Gifting 2023 patterns https://www.knitpicks.com/patterns/12-weeks-of-gifting-2023/c/300202?&utm_source=libsyn&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=episode372 Indie Design Gift-A-Long (Ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/groups/indie-design-gift-a-long 10 Hours or Less user profile (Ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/people/10HoursorLess 10 hours or Less patterns on Ravelry (ravelry link) https://www.ravelry.com/designers/10-hours-or-less 10 Hours or Less patterns on Lovecrafts https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/user/maker/459f818e-d58a-442b-8e15-8dead451fdab 10 Hours or Less on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/10hoursorless/

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast, we're talking about owning a local yarn shop with my guest Sally Moore. Sally is the owner of Parker Avenue Knits, a local yarn shop in Detroit, Michigan. She opened the shop in December 2021. Sally is also a litigation attorney and has been practicing law since 1986. To Sally, litigation is an advanced selling exercise. Evaluating facts and assessing circumstances leads to the meaningful attainment of goals whether you're in the courtroom or selling yarn. Sally began knitting when she was 10 years old and has been an avid knitter for the past 15 years. One thing she loves about knitting is that it is an exercise in self-expression within the confines of a pattern, allowing her to both adhere to rules and showcase her individuality. +++++ This episode is sponsored by Craftsy.

Knits vs. wovens! Late night sewing vs. daytime sewing! Making a muslin vs just going for it! In this episode, Helen and Caroline have friendly debates over different approaches to sewing. They weigh the pros and cons of each choice before revealing their personal preferences - and the results of our Instagram polls (nearly 3,000 of you responded!). It's all in good fun - there is a lot of laughing in this episode. Plus, listener questions about using fabric that goes over a pattern's recommended stretch percentage and what to do about white pants where the pocket bags are visible.  Show Notes
