Interviews

This week I was invited to talk about last-minute Halloween costume ideas on the BC CBC Radio show North by Northwest. Sheryl, Anna and I had a blast bouncing ideas around; it'll air on Saturday morning and should be in the show's podcast after that. To get my brain in gear before we recorded, I...

Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing author Shannon Okey on Twitter* as part of her blog tour to promote her new book, The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design. We had so much fun, and such a productive conversation, that I forgot to do the giveaway we'd planned. D'oh.

Shannon Okey has written a lot of books, but I admit I'm the most excited about the one she's just self-published. It's called The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design, and, well, its topic is obvious. She's just started a blog tour to promote the book (see the schedule, below), and next Tuesday, July...

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...

So many little things collecting in my brain, and I haven't set any of them down here. Time to remedy that! *Rolls in my trusted bulleted list.* After a decade wondering what it would be like, I was on the radio. Not live radio, but radio all the same. In a studio, with a schmancy...

Well, if I failed to mention it, consider it immortalized here in bytes (until the EMP strikes and all this work we've done is obliterated). The fun started nearly two years ago, the interview was in November of...

Check out what Teresa Sullivan does with beads. I met Teresa when I went to Portland last spring for the epic craftgasm. She gave me a ride in her Dodge Dart and she let me watch over her shoulder while she worked on a bead piece. We've been in touch ever since,...

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...

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. If this is your first time here, please poke around and be sure to say...

So, that interview with Joss Whedon, eh? Yeah, that was a major rush. As I've said before, I am not a fangirl. I've never been a fangirl—of anything. In fact, my default is usually to distance myself from anything other people are compelled to shriek or swoon over. No boy bands in my youth;...
