Ewe Stash – Review

Categories:

by

ewe-stash

So there is a new iPhone app available for the crocheter or knitter called Ewe Stash (Treeness, LLC). First reaction, “Wee! A new app for crocheters and knitters. Have to have it!” Second reaction after seeing the $2.99 price, “Why do I need this?” The goal of Ewe Stash is to give you the ability …

Welcome to My Soapbox

When did knitting become to fiber craft as a Frisbee is to flying disks, or Kleenex is to tissues? No one says, “Hey, let’s go throw our flying disk around the park!” But knitting, and knitting terms, seems to have become the generic standard for any article made with yarn. The most common conversation I …

The Zen of Failure

Categories:

In the half-caffeinated state I normally am in upon sitting at the computer, it’s always nice to find an article that I can say, “Here, read this. You’ll thank me.” And then continue on my java way. Today’s article comes to us from our can’t-have-enough-wool-items neighbor to the north, Alaska. In the article Undoing mistakes and …

Caught in the Rebranding Net

Categories:

Rebranding is typically done to a product when a company’s spreadsheets show that a product is failing in sales or market share. The company will try to jazz it up, jazz it down and try to give the old the look of something new and improved to spark interest in the masses. I can normally …

Woo Hoo! Crochet

What I love about fiber art is that, for the most part, we don’t take our craft too seriously. Oh, sure there are a few out there that get their hanks in a twist over their projects (you know who you are), but in general, we are a pretty easy going bunch. And then there …

Crochet Propaganda – For Sale

Categories:

by

we-can-hook-it-sm

Ever since I was introduced to the Crochet Liberation Front I was drawn to their style. There’s something about militant hookers that just makes me…happy. So, for this Memorial Day weekend, I came up with a few graphic designs for the militant hooker in all of us. All four designs are based on vintage propaganda …

Knit & Crochet Show

This year I was able to go to the Knit & Crochet show in Portland, Oregon. To be perfectly honest, I would go to a paper clip show if it meant a trip to Portland (love that city). The trip itself was fantastic, but I’ll get more into that in the next posting. I had …

Crochet’s too Sexy for my Body

Categories:

by

whats-next-crochet-2

I always love it when someone shines a nice light on crochet. And Natalie over at Black Book isn’t letting me down with her brief article regarding sexy crochet. Would I wear it? No. I’m a hairy forty-year-old man. I would have to wax first. But a certain sister-in-law could pull it off flawlessly. Favorite …

An Apple a Day will Break You

Categories:

As you know, my slick iPhone made contact with my slick granite bathroom counter and did a luge jump into the toilet. I’ve made peace with that. What I’m having a harder time making peace with is Ma Bell (that’s what us older folks use to call AT&T) and Apple. To replace my original $500 …

Insert Eye-Catching Title Here

Categories:

Some weeks are better than others. Then there are weeks that didn’t get the hint that they have over extended their stay and should have pack up their things long ago and moved out quietly in the middle of the night…without leaving a note. Colonoscopy, funeral and layoffs were just some of the things the …
