This episode is designed around 3 key strategies to help anyone who has ever been torn between “Should I do the dishes or Just One More Row?” (And let’s be honest, I have skipped a shower or two in my time just to get through the sleeve decreases or the ribbing on a sweater!) There are moments where trade-offs need to be made, and other times a bit of discernment would be helpful.
This episode is here to help a specific listener who sent an honest question that many other listeners have probably had as well. Press play and hear my 3 strategies to help you always embrace guilt free knitting!

Lynda and I are both Quakers and happen to be members of the same Quaker Meeting in Philadelphia. She was one of the first people I met after I joined the Quaker community and I’ve always known her as an artist and urban gardener. Unpretentious and one of the most authentic people you will ever meet, Lynda is a visual artist whose aesthetic is informed in part by her dad’s activism and her grandmother’s crochet lessons. Her crocheted vessels, paper collages and knitted assemblages are an expression of some of the stories we have yet to know and some of the ones we need to unlearn.

What I like about Lynda’s work is that she operates in a 3 dimensional way with materials that have their own unique textures and hues and when you really get into the meaning behind her art you realize that she makes her pieces come alive in more ways than one.

Lynda’s work has shown in numerous Philadelphia area venues, including The Colored Girls Museum, Seed on Diamond Gallery, The Barnes Foundation, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. An occasional DIY public space artist, she placed her crocheted vessels in trees in Philadelphia, St. Helena, Savannah, Berlin and London to represent lynchings and other government sanctioned brutality.

Lynda’s work is featured in the book Making Good: An Inspirational Guide to Being an Artist Craftsman. Lynda holds a BA in Journalism and MA in Education. Her self-guided study includes programs at Fleisher Art Memorial, Asian Arts Initiative and private training.

My coach, Kim Witten, teaches us the difference between coaching, mentoring and therapy. Then, we move on to topics such as the struggle we creatives have balancing structure and freedom (for our craft), and also have an enlightening conversation about “imposter syndrome”. Kim shares a comforting perspective and cites the two psychologists who coined the term in the 1970’s.

Enjoy this incredible conversation with Kim Witten, transformational coach, for the first episode of A Smaller Life in the new year.

When looking for more circularity within the textile & apparel industry, most look to existing fibres and ways to elevate them. Keel Labs were on the hunt for something new and looked to the ocean. On this episode of Textile Innovation, WTiN talks to Tessa Callaghan, the chief executive officer and one of the co-founders behind Keel Labs. 

Based in the US, the company has an eye for innovation, starting with its seaweed-derived yarn called Kelsun that holds a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to legacy fibres. Created using an abundant polymer found in the kelp, Callaghan says Kelsun harnesses the renewable and regenerative power of the ocean.

May Lin Bang (Maya) joins us from Knit With Attitude in High Street London, but not before we do a little celebrating for our 50th episode! Tune in to hear shout outs and interesting stats in the first 10 minutes, and then get cozy for our 50 minute conversation.

Maya is an inspiration who has run a successful ecological yarn shop as an immigrant for more than 10 years. She had an online shop before that was really a thing. She tells us about how she deals with our unconventional industry in an unconventional way, from funding, to management and more, never giving up her values and core principles. It was a joy to hear from her, and you can find her at www.knitwithattitude.com

The New York State Sheep & Wool Festival was just last month, and it’s Thanksgiving already.  We’ve got a podcast for you from the wild and wooly, festive and colorful event. 

If you’re in a work truck or jeans ad with all of those good looking farm people tossing bales of hay around, you might get the impression that anyone who produces food or fiber in America is…well, pretty vanilla.  And considering how many of our ag products are an amalgamation of cultures and peoples throughout our history (corn, beans, pigs, horses, cattle, turkey, cranberries, squash…), maybe we’d be smart to stop and think about how diversity has made us strong.

The BIPOC booth at Rhinebeck represented a slice of an underrepresented category in most of the visible ag press these days, and we were glad these delightfully different took time out from the crowd questions to answer some of ours (the gorgeous combinations of fiber and an aqua-color to (hand) dye for were developing right there in their breed barn booth.  Delicious).  BIPOC is an acronym that stands for Black, Indigenous and People of Color, and though some might wonder if this podcast will be politically correct – not so.  We hope you hear it and do your own thinking about why representation is so important to agricultural diversity of all types.  Our strength in humanity is in our many shapes sizes, and colors, and we hope you celebrate them all with us.

In this episode I talk about the role of strategy in your small business and how you don't have to change all that much to make better use of the time and effort you are already investing in communication, marketing, branding and all those other 'icky' business words.

Hopefully you'll get some information about how thinking things through just a little bit more, can make a big difference in how you present yourself as a business.

Who we are

Block Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.

We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.

Ground-level coverage

Our neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this  ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a  neighborhood.

Stories that matter to you — every day

Since our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. 

We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. 

Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Andy talks to Murray Cockburn, Rachel Halder, Blayne DeVries, Kelvin Lott 
and Tessa Prentice.
