Standing against stigma, scapegoating, and the criminalisation of people who use drugs. Continuing on from the speeches we aired in last weeks episode.This rally was held last Sunday, on the 27th of April countering a network of North Richmond business owners, property developers, and local career politicians holding a rally in North Richmond.which was promoting a “demand for action” in relation to “safety concerns” about people who use drugs. Part of an ongoing campaign targeting North Richmond's medically supervised drug consumption space and the demonising of people who use this service. We hear a segment from a recent episode of Indigenous Rights Radio's Cultural Survival podcast featuring Indigenous activist Simon Witbooi (Nama). Simon discusses historical and contemporary racial discrimination and the place of the Khoi and San people in South Africa in the context of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on March 21st in commemoration of the Sharpeville Massacre, where police killed 69 people demonstrating against racist apartheid “pass laws” in apartheid South Africa. To follow the work of Indigenous Rights Radio go to https://rights.culturalsurvival.org/enWe then play a speech from Basil El Ghattis at yesterday's Free Palestine rally. Basil is a Palestinian man, son of Palestinian refugee parents, a civil engineer and an active advocate in Palestinian community in Naarm. Yesterday protest marked May Day, and International Workers Day. This International Workers Day marks a reaffirmed commitment to ending the supply of arms to Israeli and Australia's complicity in the production and export of weapons parts.Listeners be ware that this next segment may contain audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody. If at any point you find the content distressing, please call 13 YARN on 13 92 76. Today the 5th of may 2025 marks the opening to the 'Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience' exhibit at the Heide Museum of Modern Art, situated on the Birrarung. The exhibit presents works by Vernon Ah Kee, Gordon Bennett, Destiny Deacon, Julie Dowling, Jimmy Pike and Judy Watson addressing the overrepresentation of First Nations people within the carceral system and the crisis of deaths in custody here in so-called australia. These works are shown alongside pieces created by former and currently incarcerated First Nations people via the Torch program to bolster connection to Country and culture. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men are 17 times more likely to be incarcerated than their non-Indigenous counterparts, while Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 27 times more likely to be incarcerated compared to non-Indigenous women despite the fact that First Nations people make up less than 4% of the continent's population. 65% of all young people in detention across the continent are Indigenous, despite only making 6.6% of the  total population of 10 - 17 year olds. Monday Breakfast was joined by Barkindji man Kent Morris, who is the curator of the 'Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience' exhibit as well as the Founder and Creative Director of the Torch Program.Songs: 'Blak Matriarchy'  - BARKAA'Letter to the Martyrs' - Cacique97' 'Natural Woman' - Kaiit

In 1978, Nand Kishore Chaudhary (NKC) got a job offer from a Government bank and the chance to move from Churu to Jaipur -- something most people could only dream of back in the day.But, he declined that offer. He saw an opportunity in the carpets business which was a 100% export market and was growing steadily. He also saw this as an opportunity to impact lives and connect with people.So, he took a leap of faith. He took a loan of INR 5000 from his father. Bought a bicycle. Two looms. And started working with 9 artisans in Churu.And that's how Jaipur Rugs was born.Fast forward to today, he has created a sprawling empire with their carpets being exported to 60 different countries. They have trained >40,000 artisans and run various social initiatives via Jaipur Rugs Foundation.NKC & Jaipur Rugs are a shining example of how a business can create lasting impact in the lives of people.I learnt a lot while speaking to NKC and we spoke about a range of topics like:(02:03): How NKC started his entrepreneurial journey with INR 5,000(08:14): Inception of JaipurRugs — navigating early challenges of doing biz in the 1980s(14:49): What goes into making an exquisite handcrafted rug?

Hey there, fiber friends! This week on Making Conversation, I'm bringing you a chat that is full of color, creativity, and coastal charm. I sat down with Vanessa Fleming, the brilliant mind behind ōSHən Knits & Fibres, a one-of-a-kind yarn shop in Astoria, Oregon.Vanessa is a marine biologist-turned-knitwear designer and yarn dyer, and her love for inclusivity, sustainability, and vibrant design shines through in everything she creates. We talk about her journey from knitting at sea (yes, really) to opening a shop that's become a welcoming hub for all kinds of makers. From her hand-dyed yarns to her size- and shape-inclusive patterns, Vanessa is redefining what it means to build a truly inclusive craft community.✨ In this episode: – A peek into the cozy world of ōSHən Knits & Fibres – Vanessa's story of blending marine biology with fiber arts – A convo about community, representation, and colorful yarn magic

This week, stories of democracy, dreams, and things happening in and out of the ballot box. Elections Elsewhere by Phoebe Adler-Ryan Have you ever wondered how elections operate in other corners around the world? In our first story, ATB takes you on a ‘election tour’ of different countries as our volunteers - from China, Vietnam, some with connections to the US - gather to talk about what voting is like in their country. Can you vote in your country? What does voting mean to you? Featuring Lindsey Vassalo, Patrick McKenzie, Ray Vo and Sue. Counting the Vote by Grace Gooda Next story brings you into the Australian ballot box. In this story, we step inside election day through the eyes of an AEC worker - where impartiality, integrity, and counting replace the usual political buzz. From securing ballot bins to missing out on the ‘democracy sausage’, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the quiet work that keeps Australia's democracy ticking. Welcome to a day in the life of a ballot counter. That story was produced by Grace Gooda in partnership with the Centre for Advancing Journalism and The Yarn from Melbourne University. Young Yarners by Micah Kickett Our third story explores the Young Yarners Program, a new initiative tackling voter disengagement in First Nations communities. From Parliament House workshops to local projects back home, young leaders from the program are building knowledge, breaking down barriers, and making sure Indigenous voices are heard loud and clear at the ballot box. That story was produced by Micah Kickett for The Wire. Young Matters by Ruby Perryman In this story, we hear from a young voter navigating life on Centrelink, housing insecurity, and the growing feeling that dreams like home ownership are slipping away. As the election approaches, it's not grand promises that shape her vote - it’s the urgent need for real support in an anxious, uncertain future. That story was produced by Ruby Perryman in partnership with the Centre for Advancing Journalism and The Yarn, from Melbourne University. Hope for the future by Catarina Fraga Matos and Kwame Slusher Confusion, curiosity, excitement to frustration. Young Australians paint a vivid palette of emotions as they face their first vote. Whether it’s dreaming of climate action, fairness, or just finally being heard, these young Australian voters have big hopes, even if the path to the ballot box is still a little messy. Hear them out.

Knitting and wool are so essential in the Faroe Islands that in the early 1800s, exports of sweaters and socks made up about half of the economy. Today, the nation of about 55,000 people has 8+ knitwear brands, 2 active spinning mills, and 70,000 ewes. Sissal Kristiansen, the owner of knitwear company Shisa Brand, started an initiative called The Wool Islands to celebrate the heritage and potential of Faroese fiber. “We owe it to our past and our future to utilise the natural resources that we have, and on the Faroe Islands, that is wool,” she says. The first project of the Wool Islands was a 15-minute documentary that takes viewers on a sweeping journey through the Faroese landscape, meeting shepherds, knitters, and of course sheep. Available to watch free on YouTube and the project's website, the film welcomes you to the small country, which is located in the North Atlantic between Shetland and Iceland. Today, the economy of the Faroe Islands relies on tourism; the film shows how enticing a destination it is for knitters, spinners, and textile lovers. Sheep and knitting are everywhere in the Faroe Islands, but maintaining the quality and value of the local wool depends on visitors, locals, knitters, and consumers to recognize its unique importance. Drawing on the natural colors produced by the native sheep, Faroese knitting patterns are characterized by graphic, highly contrasting stranded patterns that generally carry floats over less than five stitches. Sissal's designs for Shisa Brand feature bold traditional motifs in contemporary silhouettes and scales. Some of Shisa Brand's iconic garments feature black-and-white geometric patterns, and the ready-to-wear items are handmade by local handknitters using Faroese wool. Undeterred by wool's reputation for scratchiness next to the skin, she celebrates the lofty texture, warmth, and silkiness of the dual-coated fleece. Hearing Sissal speak about her home and her passion for Faroese wool will leave you yearning to wear Faroese knitwear, knit with Faroese yarn, and visit the country's wool islands.

Click Here to Send me a Fan Mail Message!This is a solo episode with host, Stephanie Socha.  The two main topics are YarnCon 2025 and my final trip to JoAnn Fabrics. This was my first time attending YarnCon, a trade show type event for the knitting, crochet, hand dyers and yarn community. Vendor booths from IL and surrounding states show their beautiful product, much of it hand made, hand dyed and all of it stunning! Below is a list of the vendors from the 2025 show that just took place last weekend (4/5 and 4/6) in Chicago.https://yarncon.com/pages/copy-of-vendorsThe building that YarnCon was held is a historic beaux arts architecture and art deco design.  The link below is the resource I used in this episode.Beaux Arts ArchitectureFinal Shopping at JoAnn FabricsThe second part of this episode is a recap of my final trip to JoAnn Fabrics before they close forever.  A common issue with most shoppers I have heard from and chatted with is that the discounts are not really discounted.  The prices were raised to MSRP and then slightly discounted.  These prices are higher than a JoAnn shopper would have paid prior to the company closing announcement.  If you plan to make one more trip to JoAnn's, I share tips on what to look for and how to shop the discounts in your favor while enjoying the nostalgia  one last time.  Support the showINSTAGRAM: @stephanie.socha.design WEBSITE: https://stephaniesochadesign.com/podcast-make-and-decorate EMAIL: info@makeanddecorate.com YOUTUBE: Stephanie Socha Design

They've spent the last year and a half diving deep into the 1921 murder of 12-year-old Alma Tirtschke, a case known as the “Gun Alley Murder.” They explore how Alma's story was twisted by the media and courts at the time—and how those same patterns still play out in true crime today.

(free crochet pattern on Ravelry). Yarn has a lot of twist, got all tangly and we stayed after to untangle it together while other cast members performed on stage. On the first night of rehearsal one of my cast-mates asked about my knitting and through that conversation we figured out we've worked together before. She was the choreographer when I was in a production of Crazy for You at a local community college when I was in high school. I wore my Aurealis sweater (Ravelry Project Page) one night to music rehearsal and my friend Deana complimented it and I told her I knit it! Laura's sock drawer! How gorgeous is this?   In My Travels Vegas trip for BOSS Reseller Remix & FearLESS Living Fund 2025 Awards We gave away 2 $5,000 scholarships Mom's friend Crystal got a fearless tattoo on her arm. We enjoyed visiting the Sphere to see the Postcards from Earth documentary. We checked out the Bellagio Conservatory for their beautiful display of Easter decor/flowers. Knitting at craps table with Jeff. The manager told me he doesn't see many firsts anymore but I was the first person he'd ever seen knitting in a casino before. He came back a few minutes later asking what I was making- definitely intrigued. It took until the last day- walking through New York New York to find Wizard of Oz slots Mom loved best. It was obviously a bittersweet trip. Ryan Wilson said it best when he said before talking about 2 winners- in some ways this is the most important year because its the first one without Mom and we're still doing it. If you want to see the awards presentation, here's a link to video on my YouTube channel.   Boston Public Market Fiber Fest- Sunday March 23 from 10a-5p. Free Admission Megg, Riley and I went in the morning. Riley wore her crocheted flowered top (Ravelry Project Page). I wore my Aurealis (Ravelry Project Page)- finally got good FO photos for my Project Pages. I purchased punch needle coasters for my car cup holders from Gina the Botina We also purchased mini skeins from 2 makers- that I sent home with Riley East Coast Yarn Co Wild Violet Fibers Riley picked out a delicious cinnamon roll from Union Square Donuts that we shared. Megg got some cute crafty projects for her kids for Easter/graduations.   Events   Fiber Marketplace- April 5th at the Union Bluff Hotel in York, Maine (kick off party on the 4th at the Yarn Sellar store) Fiber Witch Festival: April 11-13 in Salem, MA Gore Place Sheep Sheering Festival- Saturday April 26 from 10a-5p in Waltham, MA.

Have you heard of it?   Ask Me Anything Instagram- Knitbakecook- Do you ever have crafting slumps? If so, how do you overcome them? Yes! Sometimes it helps just to lean into that, don't pressure yourself and then lean back in when you get the urge. More often, what works best is to start something new (or pick back up something that is exciting you). Ideally something small like a hat or a toy so you get that dopamine hit of finishing something fun to get those creative juices flowing. Search your Ravelry favorite or queue, browse Instagram or Pinterest and let yourself day dream a little. Creative time should be fun so find the fun and you'll be excited to get back into things. Instagram- ndoyal- When are you coming to the PNW?! I am planning to go to Flock in August. Instagram- nukerklein- Have you been or are you planning to go to VT Sheep & Wool in the fall?
