This week I talk to Allison Whitlock, the host of Uncommon Threads on DIY Network. Allison is an Australian-born crafter, creator and design diva, and has been dabbling in all things needle since the ripe age of four, when she first became mesmerized by the click-clack of metallic knitting needles. Allison was great fun to talk to, and to hear what is happening craft wise in Australia!

Hello to everyone from our new Craftcast studio over looking the Hudson River in Nyack NY. I have lots of crafty news! First, check out the fall issue of Vogue Knitting’s “Knit Simple” magazine. On page 8 you will find an article on Craftcast’s first CraftKit. It’s a felted bag that is fun and easy to make, and a great fall accessory! It will be for sale on the Craftcast website the beginning of September.

The second thing, I have had 3 of my digital art pieces accepted into the “13th Annual Small Matters of Great Importance Juried Show to be exhibited at the Hopper House Art Center, 82 North Broadway, Nyack, NY. I am thrilled to be accepted into such a prestigious show! The artist reception is to be held September 10, 2006, 2-5pm. If anyone is in the area, please stop by.I am very excited about today’s show! You will hear a talk I had with Vicki Howell, host of DIY networks “Knitty Gritty”, and co-host of “Stylelicious” as well as an author of 2 knitting books, plus she has done lots of other really cool crafty things! Her new book is called “Not another Teen Knitting Book”.
