Commuter Knitter - Episode 65 - Interview with Benjamin Levisay



This week I had the privilege of sitting down with Benjamin Levisay for the podcast (no, I was not driving as I recorded!)  Benjamin is CEO of XRX, Inc., the company behind Knitter's magazine, XRX Books and STITCHES Expos.  He also hosts his own weekly podcast, Fiber Hooligan, where he interviews the best and brightest in the industry.  Today, Benjamin is in the interviewee chair as we chat about STITCHES, Halos of Hope, and the Podcaster Throwdown.

Thank You

On behalf of our little town, I say a heartfelt THANK YOU for your prayers, love, well wishes, virtual hugs and support that you have sent our way in the wake of Friday's events.  The love pouring in from listeners via Ravelry, Twitter, email, and the blog is extraordinary - I can barely keep up with your messages.  Knowing that so many of you around the world are thinking about us gives us comfort. Yesterday was another difficult day as we learned the names of the 26 victims.  Twenty children and six educators.  In a small town such as ours, we all either know one of the individuals or know someone who does.  I am in the latter camp as one of the teachers was my mom's former co-worker. Today we await the arrival of President Obama for an interfaith vigil that will be held at the High School for the families and those directly affected. We also found out today that an unused school building in a neighboring town will be opened for the Sandy Hook students t...

Road Maps - A Review & Giveaway for Mystic Shawls by Anna Dalvi

Since I normally record the podcast in the car, I do not have the convenience of having a copy of the book I am reviewing or extensive notes in front of me for reference.  Therefore, I have decided to take a different approach with my review process by moving to written posts here on the blog to give you additional information, and to ensure that I have covered all that I want to mention.  I will still give an overview of the titles, products, or other review items within the podcast episodes, but I want to be sure to give these items proper attention as they are often provided to me from the companies free of charge.  As always, all opinions are my own.  I hope you find this new review format useful. © Cooperative Press Today I will be reviewing Mystic Shawls by Anna Dalvi.  This title is available from Cooperative Press for $26.95 for the print and eBook or $16.95 for the eBook.  Thank you to Cooperative Press for providing an eBook copy for my ...
