CRAFT Pattern Podcast: Treeling from Softies: Simple Instructions for 25 Plush Pals
This week's CRAFT Pattern Podcast is a featured pattern from the new book, Softies: Simple Instructions for 25 Plush Pals by Therese Laskey. This cute Treeling softie by Lynda Lye of Little Odd Forest is a simple little friend you can sew up from felt. You can even use up your old scraps to make up the multicolored leaves.
The Softies book features 25 patterns by famous crafters we've come to know and love such as Heidi Kenney of My Paper Crane, Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls, Cassi Griffith of Bella Dia, and lots more! Besides with all the toy recall madness going on, it's it time to start making your own fun, safe toys? For more softies inspiration and projects, pick up the Softies book and visit Therese on the Softies Central blog.

Geek Knitting - Craft: Video Podcast
I had the chance to hang out with FBZ for a bit in Berlin and we made this video for you to learn how to knit!
So break out some yarn, string, cassette tape, dental floss, cat5 cable or fiber optics and knit it up into some fabric! Knitting is fun, productive, and a great way to spend time alone, around friends, or on public transportation!
