[caption id="attachment_424" align="alignnone" width="360" caption="Courtesy of Boston Handmade Blog"][/caption] Jessica Burko (the force behind Boston Handmade) and some of the exhibitors at Boston Handmade Downtown (located here) sit down with me to talk about the holidays and fiber fun. Jen of Blue Alvarez, Lynn of Cozy Cottage Creations, and Sedruola of Sedruola's Yarn Obsession all have some interesting insight on making stuff for people as gifts and getting through the holiday season. Also... I have an update about my Knit One Save One (KOSO) project. Some stores I have contacted have offered to collect caps as well as hand out some donated materials for me. You can pick up two balls of yarn (courtesy of Kraemer Yarns) for making hats for KOSO while supplies last and drop off caps for KOSO until Sunday January 18th at the following locations:(in alphabetical order) Mind's Eye Yarns in Porter Square Windsor Button in Downtown Crossing Woolcott and Company in Harvard Square While there is some confusion about deadlines and what is written on KOSO's brochure, I assure you we have until the end of January to send in the caps. I would like to thank all the people who are donating caps to KOSO and the following companies for donating yarn for my KOSO project: Kraemer Yarns Westminster Fibers The Yarn and Fiber Company Podcasts Guido Stein no no http://www.itsapurlman.com/2008/12/10/tyson-hunger-relief/ http://www.itsapurlman.com/2008/12/10/tyson-hunger-relief/#comments Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:19:02 +0000 Guido http://www.itsapurlman.com/?p=420 http://www.itsapurlman.com/2008/12/10/tyson-hunger-relief/feed/ 0 http://www.itsapurlman.com/2008/11/25/iapm56mr-gobbles/ http://www.itsapurlman.com/2008/11/25/iapm56mr-gobbles/#comments Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:14:55 +0000 Guido http://www.itsapurlman.com/?p=417 http://www.itsapurlman.com/2008/11/25/iapm56mr-gobbles/feed/ 5 38:05 Today's episode has an interview with Beverly of Ewe'll Love it in NH.

I recorded the whole thing in one take and only added some music a the end. The last couple of weeks have been a lot of fun and I have been knitting and crocheting up a storm. My brother got me started working on the Knit One Save one project and have had a lot of support from all the folks I run into. Perhaps I will put together an event for January for this project. Music is by Chris Ayer "A Starfish In The Front Yard" More links to come... Added somewat LATER: This show has a lot of discussion of my insane knitting life and the many things that are going on in Boston. I also talk a little bit about my friend Gary and his wife Lynn... I also talk about Prairie Home Companion and the song sailing around the room. In my yarn-a-lot I talk about a hat I made for my friend gary of made of some Cascade 220 619 which I covet. I am also making a baby sweater out of some awesome organic cotton(it's like terry cloth). I am making a couple of Olive You hats from Itty Bitty Hats. Many thanks to Kraemer Yarns and Westminster Fiber for donating to my Knit One Save One Project.

So... show notes will come up later.. but for the moment I am having technical difficulties and am going to spend my time trying to get the links working again so that this end up in the feed... so this post is going to be updated tonight with all sort of good stuff about the show including my two interviews and music and a little bit more about the passing of Lynn. Added LATER.. much LATER: On the show I interview Janice Kissinger, Director of Slater Mill in Rhode Island and Cindy, Owner of The Yarn and Fiber Company in NH. I would like to thank Jane from Porter Square Books for helping the guild (I messed up the website on the show)host The Yarn Harlot. I would also like to thank Franklin ans Stephanie for for speakinin Boston. If you would like to learn more about my friend Lynn Votour and Gary Votour please visit her caring bridge site. Gary would appriciate any donations made in Lynn's name to the Caring Bridge. The service they provide s crucial for the families of people in the hospital. The music on the show comes from the Podshow Network and I played the Mega Bottle Ride by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros on todays show. (this song really chokes me up and make me happy and sad at the same time... weird) Finally... thank you all for your suggestions for working through my feelings about friends lost. Sorry the show notes took so long. (also, the title is a little nod toward the Seasonal Affective Disorder, because I get down in the fall..)
