Hey you mob! In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly talented and inspiring Aunty Elverina Johnson—a proud Gungganji and Gimuy Walubara Yidinji woman from Yarrabah, in Far North Queensland. Aunt Elverina is a true force: a singer, artist, fashion designer, businesswoman, and cultural leader. We yarn about everything from her creative roots growing up in a tin shack by the beach, to turning her artwork into wearable storytelling through her powerful collaboration with Taking Shape—a partnership that’s taken her all the way to Vogue and Sydney Fashion Week! We talk about the importance of backing yourself, building generational wealth, and creating your own path—whether that’s through art, business, or community. Aunt Elverina shares how she’s been able to grow her cultural tourism business, Paperbark Arts, on her own property in Yarrabah, bringing together art, events, workshops, and more with the support of her family. This is a powerful episode about creativity, culture, resilience, and self-determination. I’m so proud to share this yarn with you—it's one I know will fill your cup like it did mine.

Carpet maker Bremworth is rebuilding its Napier yarn plant that was destroyed in Cyclone Gabrielle, which means 40 more jobs will be on offer. Before the flood it employed about 150 staff at the Napier factory, but most of them lost their jobs. For the last couple of years Bremworth has been importing yarn to bolster supplies from its Whanganui spinning plant. Bremworth CEO, Craig Woolford spoke to Lisa Owen.
We search for peace in this chaotic month, and find it in a little shop in Kingston, New York. The Yarn Farm is made those who like the company of kindred spirits to ply their craft, sure. It's also great for those who might want to stop for a quick skein or an artsy crafty yarn-ish item, as well. But for those of us who might find Zen in an adult beverage, a perfect charcuterie board and a sunny table by the river, we're also home.Links:https://www.yarnfarmkingston.comhttps://sheepandwool.comhttps://www.dcswga.orgSupport the show

What a WEEK! Qwen-mass in July. Folks, AI doesn't seem to be wanting to slow down, especially Open Source! This week we see yet another jump on SWE-bench verified (3rd week in a row?) this time from our friends at Alibaba Qwen. Was a pleasure of mine to host Junyang Lin from the team at Alibaba to come and chat with us about their incredible release with, with not 1 but three new models! Then, we had a great chat with Joseph Nelson from Roboflow, who not only dropped additional SOTA models, but was also in Washington at the annocement of the new AI Action plan from the WhiteHouse. Great conversations this week, as always, TL;DR in the end, tune in! Open Source AI - QwenMass in JulyThis week, the open-source world belonged to our friends at Alibaba Qwen. They didn't just release one model; they went on an absolute tear, dropping bomb after bomb on the community and resetting the state-of-the-art multiple times.A "Small" Update with Massive Impact: Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507Alibaba called this a minor refresh of their 235B parameter mixture-of-experts.Sure—if you consider +13 points on GPQA, 256K context window minor. The 2507 drops hybrid thinking. Instead, Qwen now ships separate instruct and chain-of-thought models, avoiding token bloat when you just want a quick answer. Benchmarks? 81 % MMLU-Redux, 70 % LiveCodeBench, new SOTA on BFCL function-calling. All with 22 B active params.Our friend of the pod, and head of development at Alibaba Qwen, Junyang Lin, join the pod, and talked to us about their decision to uncouple this model from the hybrid reasoner Qwen3."After talking with the community and thinking it through," he said, "we decided to stop using hybrid thinking mode. Instead, we'll train instruct and thinking models separately so we can get the best quality possible."The community felt the hybrid model sometimes had conflicts and didn't always perform at its best. So, Qwen delivered a pure non-reasoning instruct model, and the results are staggering. Even without explicit reasoning, it's crushing benchmarks. Wolfram tested it on his MMLU-Pro benchmark and it got the top score of all open-weights models he's ever tested. Nisten saw the same thing on medical benchmarks, where it scored the highest on MedMCQA. This thing is a beast, getting a massive 77.5 on GPQA (up from 62.9) and 51.8 on LiveCodeBench (up from 32). This is a huge leap forward, and it proves that a powerful, well-trained instruct model can still push the boundaries of reasoning. The New (open) King of Code: Qwen3-Coder-480B (X, Try It, HF)Just as we were catching our breath, they dropped the main event: Qwen3-Coder. This is a 480-billion-parameter coding-specific behemoth (35B active) trained on a staggering 7.5 trillion tokens, with a 70% code ratio, that gets a new SOTA on SWE-bench verified with 69.6% (just a week after Kimi got SOTA with 65% and 2 weeks after Devstral's SOTA of 53%

This deeply honest episode is a powerful call to every mum, dad, business owner, partner, and human who feels like they're holding everything together—barely. Karen G Adams strips away the glossy highlight reel to share the real, raw emotions of adulthood, business ownership, and the mental health struggles so many face in silence. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or emotionally exhausted — this episode is for you. Karen shares how to check in with yourself, recognise the signs of quiet suffering, and take empowered steps towards healing, rest, and support. This is the most vulnerable conversation yet—and possibly the most needed.
One of the most bizarre stories to emerge from the cult radio show Coast to Coast AM – and that’s really saying something – isn’t about UFOs or bigfoot, but a mysterious hole in the ground with some very unusual properties.

We talked about our projects and fav LYSs. I showed her how simple magic loop knitting is. Laura brought socks to her client David when she got back to NY. He sent me a photo asking if they were Cashmere because they were so soft and noting how great they looked with the pants he had on. Then I got a pic of his foot under his desk at work the next day. (Ravelry Project Page) On July 7, a man chatted with me on the Red Line about memories of his mother, sisters and daughters crocheting. Emelyn has been wanting to crochet again but is feeling rusty. On July 4th I reminded them how to single & half-double crochet. Last weekend, they started a star project so we worked with DC and how to work corners and getting used to reading a pattern.

In this episode of the Kankakee Podcast, host Bill Yonka welcomes a vibrant lineup of local storytellers as they share personal tales that connect, inspire, and resonate with the Kankakee community. Recorded in front of a live audience, July's Yarn Factory Listeners event takes listeners through a heartfelt and humorous journey—from misadventures on rural roads and the magic of college memories to deeply moving stories of survival, personal loss, and redemption.Kicking things off, Jay Grimes, a retired educator and proud Manteno farm kid, recounts a late-night escapade involving his first car, a flooded country road known as “Freakout Road,” and the string of unlikely events that left a lasting impression on his college years. Moran Beasley, a diehard Chicago Cubs fan, follows with the unforgettable story of witnessing the Cubs make history—while working the fog machine at Bourbonnais' Sleepy Hollow attraction—and the chaos his celebration sparked.The episode continues as Tyler McMahon brings listeners to another world with his imaginative story, “Kaleidoscope,”—a colorful tale of rebellion and hope in a planet ruled by monotony. Dr. Adrienne Walker then delivers a powerful account of her life-changing educational journey, overcoming obstacles to earn five degrees, all while following the signs she believed were sent to her by God. In a moving tribute, Quincy Young reflects on the loss of his father and grandfather, candidly exploring grief, hope, and the changing dynamic of family connections.The episode concludes with MacKenzie Cloy's deeply personal testimony about surviving a near-fatal car accident and discovering purpose in her second chance at life.With laughter, tears, and plenty of local flavor, this special storytelling showcase celebrates the spirit of Kankakee—highlighting resilience, community, and the power of sharing our stories. Whether you're reminiscing about Eastern Illinois University or finding hope in hardship, you'll find connection and catharsis in every segment.Thinking about sharing your own story? They might just have a spot for you onstage next time.Tune in for an episode packed with heart, humor, and the unforgettable voices that make Kankakee shine.Send us a text Support the show

Although rain and heat make hard work of tending a flock of 100+ sheep plus calves, chickens, and other livestock, Tammy sees her work as a collaboration with Mother Nature. Most yarn production farms consist of hundreds of animals of a single breed, enough to produce consistent batches of single-breed yarn. Tammy's way is more difficult, but more fun. In addition to her original small group of Shetlands, she has an evolving mix of breeds: sometimes Clun Forest, sometimes Teeswater, and most recently Valais Blacknose, a recent Swiss import dubbed the “world's cutest sheep.” Wing & A Prayer Farm's yarn line includes a number of fiber blends, not only to incorporate the farm's different wools but also to bring the best traits of various breeds together. Creating yarns this way also invites collaboration with other shepherds and a number of small mills to whom she trusts her batch of wool. The collaboration with nature continues in dyeing the yarn. A self-taught dyer, Tammy creates as many colors as she can with plants that she can grow in her garden or forage on her property. To support her farm and community, Tammy takes on a wide range of other projects: making soap and pies, selling eggs, hosting classes, and selling breeding stock to other shepherds. It's an enormous amount of work, but Tammy talks about her farm with such joy that it hardly sounds like a chore.

Introducing: the Arn! Esplin discovers his love for method acting. Aldrea asks to speak to the Arn's manager. Was Aldrea the first “unlikable” narrator for many young readers— or at least the first narrator who behaved in such unlikable ways? Is Dak really the first Hork-Bajir to make it through the blue mists of the Arn's Zone, or are the Arn just pushing the others into planet's fiery core? How is the interspecies relationship between Tobias and Rachel similar and different to the relationship between Aldrea and Dak? What does it mean for Ax that he has a full support system during his Andante deprogramming while Aldrea has only Dan?

How do you eat Cheetos safely while knitting so everything is not covered with a fine neon orange dust? Chopsticks! How do you keep your balls of yarn from doing the Tango in your knitting bag while you are not looking? Yarn bras! How do you get yourself to do the things that you really don't want to do, like bookkeeping and managing your social media? Wear a tiara! How do fix your yarn after frogging a project so you can actually use it again? These are just some of the fun and helpful tips that Michele Lee Bernstein of PDXKnitterati shares with us here. Michele is a wonderful designer, teacher, blogger and author of Brioche Knit Love: 21 Skill Building Projects from Simple to Sublime, but her knitting journey began when she was 14 years old and too boy-crazy for her mother. So off she went to visit her Aunt Rose for a summer in Huntington Beach, California. We don't know what happened in the boy-crazy department, but her Aunt Rose taught her to knit, and she has never looked back. Her ambitious first project, a baby-blue pullover sweater with cables in front, also taught her that she has "a two-skein attention span" and her favorite three words are "Gauge not critical."She loves designing and teaching brioche knitting, but her knitting is always evolving--there's just so much to learn about knitting and food! Definitely try her recipe for Chocolate Chip Shortbread! She has recently added assigned pooling to her brioche repertoire, as shown in this design, "Scattered Petals." Unlike planned pooling, which requires a rock-steady gauge and careful calculations--not the best combination for a gauge-not-critical knitter!--assigned pooling is more random and free-form, with a pop of color conveyed through a special stitch every time a color occurs. She writes her patterns with the idea that they offer suggestions:"Assigned pooling is really fun, but just remember that you are the boss of the knitting, it's not the boss of you. . . Everything it tells you is a suggestion, but you are in charge!"--Michele Lee BernsteinThis is the magical flow of knitting: the way we discover that we always have something more to learn from a whole new technique liked assigned pooling to a quick tip about making yarn bras from a mesh bath poof. Michele Lee Bernstein taught us a lot in this episode, and we are honored to share it with you!

With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/ In This Episode: Running a retail business isn't just about WHAT you sell—it's about WHO you bringing together in your retail store. In this heartwarming and wisdom-filled episode, Cadence Kidwell of Fuzzy Goat (a yarn store in Thomasville, Georgia) shares how she's built a thriving business rooted in connection, creativity, and community support. Whether you're a seasoned retailer or just starting out, Cadence's story will inspire you to think big, act bravely, and build something meaningful. Key Takeaways from a Retail Yarn Store Owner: Cadence shares her inspirational journey from university teacher to yarn shop owner Why community is the most important product she sells How she built a strong, trusted team that loves the store like it's their own Creative marketing tools she swears by (like countdowns and story-driven videos) How events like Local Yarn Shop Day bring huge in-store traffic Why offering benefits like retirement plans helps retain staff The importance of mentorship, coaching, and always learning something new “We're not just selling yarn. We are selling connection and whimsy.” - Cadence Kidwell About Cadence and Fuzzy Goat Prior to opening Fuzzy Goat, Cadence Kidwell obtained a PhD in Creative Writing and designed a certificate program for students to develop cultural competencies while working at Florida State University. She was happy with that career but began dreaming of her own shop. She decided that she could either steady-on into the last decade of university life or she could join the makers' life by building a business from a rough-worn building & filling it with beautiful yarns made by strong women. Luckily for Thomasville (and the rest of us) she chose the latter. Fuzzy Goat is truly an independent business with over 90% of our merchandise created by other independent women makers. Fuzzy Goat creates a space where conversation across generations and life experiences is valued and sought after.

His journey ends with discovering acceptance and connection within Kankakee's vibrant LGBTQ community, inspiring all to carry forward the spirit of joyful defiance.Next, Jacob Cantrell steps up to deliver a raw and deeply personal reflection on grief, loss, and healing, recounting the tragic death of his older brother and the lifelong imprint it left. Jacob's brave vulnerability resonates throughout the room, reminding us of the unseen ways we influence each other's lives and the importance of connection through even our hardest moments.Brooke Hildebrand shares a fond and funny exploration of family ties, celebrating the unique shorthand, inside jokes, and enduring bonds that only cousins can share. Her stories of Yonka family chaos, comfort, and camaraderie spark laughter and nostalgia, shining a light on the joy of lasting relationships and the value of “weak ties” in our personal networks.After intermission, local favorite Van Johnson lights up the stage with a story of sibling “hazing” gone hilariously awry, bringing down the house with tales of childhood mischief, inventive payback, and the unbreakable bonds formed over a deck of cards.The night closes with acclaimed writer Taylor Ledding-McMaster, who turns an act of hate into a force for good. Taylor recounts the anonymous, bigoted letter she received after officiating her best friend's same-sex wedding and sharing the joy in her weekly “A Tailor Made Life” column. In true Kankakee fashion, Taylor responds not with anger but with creativity and community fundraising—turning “the devil delights in you” into a viral sticker that raises money for the Trevor Project and the Kankakee LGBTQ Network.Tune in for a tapestry of laughter, tears, resilience, and pride—woven together in a way that only a small town like Kankakee can. Whether you're a first-time listener or a regular at Yarn Factory nights, this episode offers warmth, inspiration, and a reminder that all our stories are interconnected.Don't forget to subscribe and join us each month as we celebrate the people and places that make Kankakee County extraordinary!Send us a text Support the show

I pulled out my watercolors and painted the sensations of my pain and the colors I associated with each. I'll be playing with this concept more in the future (hopefully next time on actual watercolor paper and maybe using other media too). Knitting in Passing A nice gentleman said my crochet was beautiful and that he crochets. I showed him my tank top which was nearly done at the time. We went to a grad party for my SIL and a friend of hers remembered me from Zach's birthday. She wants to crochet so we talked about resources etc. Reconnected with some of Dan's cousins recently. His cousin Melissa and I often talk books, so that was fun but she also said she'd like to learn to knit and/or crochet. Hoping to get together with her for lunch in Boston soon. Thank you to Suzanne- Sew Run It for the beautiful handknit hat and three knit hearts for my birthday. She started it shortly after my mom passed. Her notes say "The colors screamed Diane! The pattern is called Pair of Hearts and it too felt like a connection with her. I know you were and will remain close." Pattern= Pair of Hearts is by Chit Chat Knits and is available on Ravelry for $4.50. Lauren lbeth21 messaged me with Jess from Stitched by Jessalu at Central NY Fiber Fest Susie of The Huckleberry Girl offered to send me a bag. I was thinking of summer and Splash Pad when looking at her shop and she had a bag with Blueberries and Butterflies which made me think of Mom. So special. Thank you, Susie.

On a Happy Note The Splash Pad Kick Off Virtual sessions were so much fun! The Waitress at the North Shore Music Theater (closes 6/15) Cellar clean out, using new shelves and bins to organize. We also gathered a lot of items to donate. Playing Five Crowns, totally exhausted, crushing the guys (had a score of 3 then 7 for most of the game) and then going home to sleep. Quality time at the nail salon with Riley Knitting by the pool as Riley, Garret & Millie took their first dip. Will's high school graduation party. Flowers for my birthday Red Sox game with my Dad. A stressful work project really ramped up on my birthday. My friend got yummy pastries for us to share in the office. Celebrating my birthday with Dan, Dad, Riley Garret and Millie. Really funny birthday videos from Gabriella & Zachary. Audible sale. I got a ton of great books and I'm really excited about reading again. Daisies are finally starting to come in. They grow wild in our yard but they're late this year.
