A Conversation With The Shibaguyz - Part 2

3/27/2017

0 Comments

 

Inside the design team of the Shibaguyz:
an interview by Interweave Crochet, Part 2


A couple of week ago, we posted part 1 of our recent interview with the folks from Interweave Crochet and Love of Crochet. If you missed that one, you can CLICK HERE to read it and catch up. Over the years, we've done a lot of work with these folks through our designs in Interweave Crochet and Love of Crochet, our classes at Interweave Yarn Fest, and our online classes with Interweave. Needless to say, we had plenty to talk about and had a great time answering questions about where we came from and what it meant to be a part of a design team.

Since we had so much fun answering their questions, they decided to post ALL of our answers and created a part 2 of our interview. Click on the button below to read Designer Q&A: Shibaguyz Part II.
And be sure to leave a comment thanking them for featuring us!

We’re so excited about this news we’re just about to burst.  In fact, if this was a musical we’d start singing right about now.  WAIT!  I feel a song coming on:


Picture
Yarn Thing, you make my heart sing;
You make everything groovy;

Yarn Thing!
Yarn Thing, I think I love you….

The Yarn Thing Podcast with Host Marly Bird


If you did not guess it from my cryptic clue, we’re going to be chatting with Marly Bird on her Yarn Thing Podcast on Blog Talk Radio live and in person Tuesday, April 28th at 9:00am Pacific Time. 
You can expect to hear some great conversation and a whole lotta laughs too.

If you listen live and want to call in to ask a question of Marly & Me, (the show-host and myself, not the book…I SO cried when… wait, back on topic) the listener dial-in number is: (347) 539-5589. You can also join us LIVE in the chat room… that's always a hoot too!

Can’t make it to the live broadcast? No worries! You can catch the re-broadcast anytime after Tuesday on iTunes.

As Seen on: Knitting daily tv

7/21/2014

So this is a kick! See that little button up there? Yup… it's true! Shibaguyz Designz can now proudly display the badge of honor reading "As Seen On Knitting Daily TV with Vickie Howell." WOOHOO!

Back in January of this year, we received an email from the show's host and co-executive producer, Vickie Howell, telling us about this FAB new segment for Knitting Daily TV. The segment was called Space to Space and features Vickie sitting down in her studio and chatting with folks in their own studios via a virtual web cam visit… and she wanted to do a Space to Space visit with me! The topic: designing crochet and knitwear to fit men and women in a wide range of sizes. This being one of the areas we are most passionate about with our designs, y'all KNOW we didn't pass up that opportunity!

The catch… we couldn't say a WORD about it! GAH!! Y'all also know how tough it is for me to keep a secret… especially when it comes to such FAB news. But, the secret was kept until now! FINALLY, we can break the news: The new season of Knitting Daily TV is out and begins airing on PBS in different areas sometime around the end of July 2014. WOOHOO!! The episode number our Space to Space segment will be on is Episode #1310: If It Knits, It Fits.
Knitting Daily Series 1300 with Vickie Howell
You can check when the show will be airing in your area directly from the Interweave website by CLICKING HERE. We put in our zip code and found the new season starts here on the 26th of July… just a few days! You can search your area listings by putting in your zip code or search by city and state.
Can't wait that long? You can also order the entire season on DVD or as a digital download right from the Interweave website! How cool is that?!? There is always so much information on these shows you'll want to play them over and over again to pick up the techniques and tips. You can order your copy or download by clicking on the photo of the DVD cover above.

We've been fans of Knitting Daily TV for a while now and Vickie is a FAB hostess and content creator for the show. Our interview time was fun and she was SO good at keeping my excited energy focused… that's a nice way of saying she didn't let me go on and on too long. HA!

Please check out the show and give us a shout out on Twitter, Facebook, Ravelry, and right here on our blog when you see the episode. Remember it is Episode #1310: If It Knits, It Fits and I will be chatting with Vickie right from the Shibaguyz Designz studio in the Space to Space segment. Just tag your Twitter tweets with #kdtv and tag us with @Shibaguyz.

As we get closer to the episode air date, we will be posting a little more about the interview including some of our thoughts on the topic we discussed with Vickie on air.

We hope you enjoy our segment as much as we enjoyed recording it! See ya on the TV!

Stitch On!
S&J


In our chat with Vickie we talk about our passion for designing patterns that fit a wide range of sizes. Our philosophy: People should look and feel FAB in their clothes no matter their shape or size. To check out some of our designs, hop on over to our online store by CLICKING HERE or clicking one of the pattern cover photos below.

An Interview with Karen Ratto Whooley

Today we have with us Karen Ratto-Whooley of KRW Knitwear. Karen is here to talk about her brand new Craftsy class Fair Isle Crochet: Demystifying Colorwork    

If you haven’t heard of Craftsy before… where have you been?!? Seriously, you need to head over to their About page HERE and join the rest of us who are obsessed with this FAB teaching site. But come right back here after you go over there… because, if you're like me, you'll just start down the Craftsy rabbit hole of FAB classes and not be seen again for days…
