Copyright, Creative Commons and Crafts
I haven’t written about copyright here in a long time, but you all know it’s my pet obsession, right? Whenever I tumble down its rabbit hole I end up growing and shrinking and losing track of reality until I eventually claw my way out – bloody, exhausted and filthy. Thankfully, when Sister Diane asked me to be on Craftypod to talk about my pet topic, she had a specific focus in mind – Creative Commons for crafters. She also had lawyer Martin Ertl of LexPublica/Contractually on the show. He did a great job outlining the legal bits, and I spoke specifically about how and why...
Read MoreInterview: Coffee with a Canine
I don’t often get interview requests out of the blue, and I certainly don’t get them from non-crafts sites. So when I got an email from Marshal Zeringue over at Coffee with a Canine, I was both psyched and skeptical. And now my wee interview about me and Cleo is up over there. If you flip back a few weeks on the blog you’ll see his interview with Charlaine Harris. So today I’m pleased with the status of my geek cred. Congratulations to me. He doesn’t seem to have comments enabled over there, so if you’re a dog lover and have something to say or ask, please...
Read MoreHey there, crafters!
The fabulous Rachel interviewed me for CRAFT today! She asked some great questions about my craft habits, why I love yarn, how I approached picking yarn for the new Crocheted Gifts book, why you shouldn’t fear yarn, and more.

In just around five hours, Mary Beth Temple of Getting Loopy is going to have me on her show—tune in at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern.

Read MoreNameless Podcast Episode 1: Diversifying with Jenny Ryan
I’ve decided to call it Episode 1, which would seem to imply I’m planning on having an Episode 2. So, you know. Yay, podcasting. In this first episode, I talk with Jenny Ryan about all the projects she has going on—a truly diverse array. She’s blogging professionally, runs the urban craft fair Felt Club, has a new book out, and just teamed up with a brick-and-mortar store. And after we talk about all that, we geek out over Buffy, Dollhouse, and Freaks and Geeks. (Jenny and I actually first talked online last summer during the let’s-do-a-Joss-Whedon interview...
