| The Maker Faire is part science fair, part craft
“bizarre.” Liz Gipson, managing editor of Handwoven magazine,
traveled to the Maker Faire in San Francisco, and you get to go with her! Listen
to this audio travelogue or take a look at the slide show to learn more about
weavers inspired by garbage, drummers who knit, and a fairy who learns to crochet.
The Maker Faire puts a new spin on what it means to work with yarn.
If you are interested in going to the Maker Faire, the next one is in Austin,
Texas, October 20–21. Visit their website for more information, www.makerfaire.com.
