Happy April!  The Fiberguy profile for April is up and I'm proud to share that it's of the one and only Doug Upchurch.  He was also just interviewed on Fiberbeat by Michael Wade HERE.

Fiberguys is a series of profiles featuring men across the United States who knit, crochet, spin, weave, or work in the fiber arts community. Through the series of profiles, we discover more about the lives of these amazing individuals.

The 4th Fiberguy of 2012 is Doug Upchurch, founder of White Bear Fibers and inspirational dyer, who takes time away from the dyepot to share with Fiberguys his story.  Visit his profile to learn about how he turned his love for color and fiber into a business!

It's already March and with the start of the new month comes a new Fiberguy!  Meet Brent; artist and owner of the Skein 'n Bones - the story of monsters who love knitting and how it changes their lives and world forever!

After years of work and research, I am happy to announce the beginning of a new project!  Fiberguys: Male Fiber Artists in America!

You'll find the paper I wrote summarizing the over 1,000 survey responses gathered in 2009 HERE.  The result of the project was a strengthened desire to learn more about the guys I had met while conducting research.

This series of profiles will showcase different guys across the United States who knit, crochet, spin, weave, and work in the fiber arts community.  Through a series of interviews, we will discover more about the lives of these amazing individuals.

First in the series is the profile of Aaron Bush, a New York knitter, spinner, weaver and all-around fiber artist.  Read his profile HERE and find out how he started his obsession, what he does for fun, and how he has combined his love of fiber with his passion for helping Italian Greyhounds in need.
