World wide knit in public day is happening again - 14 June 2008 - Hanne published information on events in her local area - Aarhus.

Enjoy some pictures from last years WW KIP Day from the flickr pool of the same name.

Lovely Kim from dioramarama has started a fabric blog, “True Up“. Great title Kim and good luck!

“True Up” means to make something square or straight, and as a sewing term it means squaring up your piece of fabric, making it true to grain. The term for me also evoked taking a large piece of fabric and chunking it into smaller pieces, which I thought is a nice metaphor for blogging.

True Up will have fabric news, instruction, inspiration, sale alerts, new fabric announcements, advice, interviews, opinion, guest appearances, and much more. There won’t be all that much about actually using fabric — no sewing or crafting projects per se — unless the project or technique helps us think about fabric in a new way. I want this space to be primarily about fabric for fabric’s sake, and I hope to reach and inspire fabric fans who practice a diverse array of crafts and trades.

etsy seller xfreshbatteryx loves to sew body organs and parts.

hi everyone, terribly sorry about the unscheduled downtime that whipup has recently experienced. Due to hackers and spammers we had to go off air for a while, we upgraded our security and changed our server. The forum will be down for a little bit longer and there may be some other teething issues over the next couple of weeks. But we are working night and day to get whipup up and running again - better than ever!

thanks for all your support and concern
Kathreen
