Did you know we have our own channel on YouTube? Cuz we do. And we’re slowly amassing a wee library of how-to videos. Check it out! You can even subscribe to get notices when we post new videos.

So far we have three, plus some entertaining other videos. More are on the way at about a rate of one a month. You’ll probably notice a steep learning curve in my ability to use iMovie… Which just goes to show that when you’re learning any new skill/craft/future talent you have to start somewhere!

Knit Happens

Emily — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:27:53 +0000

So a few of you (I’m talking to you Sheryl!) may have already figured out that every other Wednesday I co-host an internet radio show called Knit Happens on cascadia.fm.

Michelle is the main dame who’s there every week, and Kristin and I trade off as her side kick. Just so you know, our show/podcasts are technically marked as “adult content” because internet radio like cascadia.fm is not subject to FCC laws about swearing on air. And so you’ll occasionally hear the odd blue word here and there. We’re not talking Howard Stern here. More like your favorite aunt after she’s had a G&T. You have been warned!

ANYWHO, yesterday everyone’s favorite Twisted teacher/intellectual property lawyer/my friend Parna joined us! She talked about copyright law – both why/how not to infringe and how to protect yourself against infringement. Lord knows I’m a nerd, but I think this stuff is fascinating. Parna also talks about the classes she’s teaching this weekend at the Black Sheep Gathering (which her boyfriend says sounds like something vaguely occult) down in Eugene.

ANYWHO, check out yesterday’s episode here!

Handmade in Portland, that is. Read Bettie’s interview with us on her blog, Handmade in Portland.

Handmade in Portland is full of fantastic how-to’s (customized embroidery, ice cream cupcakes, crayons, interchangeable bra straps), interviews, events, and in general mad PDX flavor.
