And,  in the end…

October 10, 2016May 23, 2018 [email protected]

I just couldn't bring myself to sign the Interweave YarnFest contract for 2017. Kudos to Interweave General Manager John Bolton for negotiating in good faith, and for keeping his word by including everything in the new contract that he said he would. I agonized over this decision, wondering if I owed anyone (Interweave, the Internet,… Continue reading And,  in the end…

So the #FairFiberWage train chugs along. By and large I think it's generating some valuable discussions and I am glad it's happening. I was waiting for the "who do you think you are, you deserve nothing, quit whining, not everyone gets to do what they love to do" charges to begin because that seems to… Continue reading No Apologies

The great teaching kerfuffle

September 3, 2016May 23, 2018 [email protected]

The version of this post that I have been writing in my head is longer than some books I've written so I will try to be concise. I will start with the caveat that I am only speaking on my own behalf here. I have spoken to several other teachers who were affected by this… Continue reading The great teaching kerfuffle

Paint Your Crochet? Why not!

March 25, 2016May 23, 2018 [email protected]

Back in January I lost my mind and attended both the TNNA show (the trade show for yarn, needlepoint and cross stitch, and related products) and CHA (the trade show for all things crafty and big box yarns) in California on the same weekend.

Thursday Tips

March 17, 2016May 23, 2018 [email protected]

I am trying to get into the habit of blogging on a particular day, and not just whenever I feel like it. Because while I often feel like it, my brain usually convinces me that other things are more important and then the blogging never happens. So I am starting a program of Thursdays are… Continue reading Thursday Tips

Hey, is this thing on?

March 2, 2016December 12, 2021 [email protected]

I have migrated the website and blog yet again. The previous server was simply too damned expensive for the value it provided, so here we are elsewhere, again! While I am still all about the yarn and related crafts, I have also been expanding my publishing horizons into sewing and general craft - in fact… Continue reading Hey, is this thing on?
