It’s that time of issue again, the time when I have something fantastic to give away. Are you ready? This is a big one. A super cool one. One I really want to keep. REALLY WANT TO KEEP! You’ve read the smart and sassy Amy Tyler’s article and project in the worsted issue — holiday […]
We try to minimize the mistakes, but we do make them. I make them. I made one in the Worsted issue and I’m about to tell you about it. See that pretty picture to your left, the one where I try to make it look like I’m spinning as fine as the fine Jessie Driscoll? […]
I know I told you we were on the lookout for a new copy editor, but did I tell you we hired one? Her name is Karen Robinson (and I can totally put that online because you’ll see it on the masthead soon enough), and I couldn’t be happier. It wasn’t an easy decision. Not […]
The Winter issue is on the way! A few people will be getting it this week but with the holiday mail, it may be stalled. I know I say this every time but this may be my favorite issue so far. It’s definitely one of my favorite covers! Golding spindle with Greenwood Fiberworks fiber! You […]
I used to be a big reader. I mean BIG. I used to go through several books a week. And then I met knitting. And then, I met spinning. And then even worse, I met PLY Magazine. My reading has dwindled to online help forums that claim to be able to help me with subscription […]
Did you know I used to make videos? Well, that’s a bit of an overstatement, I guess. I made one video and I had plans to make more. In fact, I had plans to make lots more, not just of me but of other spinners. Grand plans, that is, until I watched my first Craftsy […]
In the 2 days since my last blog post (the one about needing to hire 2 copy-editors), my inbox has had more “in” it’s “box” than ever! From stay-at-home moms who love 2 things — kids and spinning, to ex-editors-in-chief, to librarians, to graduate students, to actual professional copy-editors, 210 people expressed interest in working […]
I don’t think change is just the nature of a new business as much as the nature of all businesses, perhaps, all things. Things are changing here at PLY. We’re evolving and figuring and growing and learning and we’re biggering. We’ve moved up in a few areas. The biggest change is that we’re no longer […]
It was both my and PLY’s first time to Rhinebeck this past week. Rhinebeck. The very word is enough to make me get a little flushed, sitting here in my sweatpants with my bowl of roasted pumpkin seeds and hot tea next to me. A post-festival stupor, one might say. I, the teacher part of […]
