Contact Details .......................................................................................... 107 JOURNAL 2013 / 2014 3 LETTER TO the Editor When the planning of the 2013 International Mohair Summit commenced early in 2012, we held the perception that there was ample time to execute the mandate that was given to us. Little did we realise how valuable a commodity time is! s a tremendous amount of time and effort goes into the planning of such an event, all the individuals from the stakeholder groupings made sacrifices by labouring long hours, sometimes till late into the evening and over weekends. AAgainst all expectations, government funding was secured and transferred into the summit account well in advance. Whilst the scepticism about pulling off a successful event in Jansenville could be understood, the commitment of funding from the industry and involvement from Mohair South Africa and the South African Mohair Growers Association were indications that the industry had faith in a successful event. Endless hours were spent on communication with international users and potential speakers that were to attend the conference. The calibre of panellists, all specialists in their field that were secured at the end of the day will in all probability never be found together on one stage again. The Summit was therefore the ideal opportunity for mohair producers to interact with these experts of skilfully processed fibre and to listen to their opinions. However, this opportunity was utilised by a disappointingly small group of producers, and therefore, many missed a chance to add great value to their business ventures and farming operations. Although fewer people attended this summit than the one held in Graaff-Reinet in 2009, it was a great success with the town of Jansenville exceeding all expectations. The outcomes and likely projects for the future also far exceed those of 2009. The use of local labour and supplies, the transfer of specific skills, as well as the tangible infrastructure that was left behind have made a huge impact on the economic development of the region and the industry. An event like this creates unique opportunities, which should be utilised to its full potential to build a solid platform for future co-operation and interaction across all sectors of the mohair industry. Deon Saayman General Manager Mohair South Africa JOURNAL 2013 / 2014 5 VAN DIE redaktrise Die Internasionale Sybokhaarberaad wat in Oktober op Jansenville aangebied is, behoort sonder twyfel as die hoogtepunt van die sybokhaaralmanak vir 2013 beskou te word. Die kleinbokkies in ons bedryf is net so mooi soos hul bokmaatjies! oewel die logistieke om 'n beraad juis daar aan te bied 'n bron waarskynlik baie sybokhaar gaan sien! van kommer was, moet 'n mens erken dat dit 'n groot sukses Daar is met groot afwagting na die koms van die sybohaarstempel was, wat deels te danke is aan die toegewydheid van 'n groepie uitgesien en die bekendstelling daarvan sal 'n groot mylpaal vir die administrateurs binne die bedryf wat baie hard gewerk het om bedryf wees.

Or in the shower, but mostly at the conference. Even though the sessions we schedule focus on small businesses, particularly small retail businesses, there’s so much for me to learn as well— not just ways to help educate my readers, but also to help Yarn Market News and aspects of my own personal life. Branding, negotiating, trends—all of these things come into play. IStore owners who attend the conference tell me it changes their perspective on just about everything. The people who attend year after year keep coming back for that very reason (and it’s a point of pride for us, too). In an atmosphere of support and openness, we can discuss obstacles and challenges, share thoughts and ideas and so much more. Early next year we will return to Seattle for our annual meeting of the minds. A recurring “theme” for the shows has been “how to be successful in a changing economy.” We know it’s tough out there for all business owners.

  • Knitting in Australia: Artefact & Exegesis
    1 Knitting in Australia: artefact & exegesis Sue Green Approved for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne University of Technology August, 2018 2 3 Abstract This project, undertaken by artefact and exegesis, draws together a book about knitting in Australia intended for a general readership, with a scholarly framework. The exegesis arises from issues identified in producing the artefact, an interview-based, non-fiction publication, Disruptive knitting: how knitters are changing the world. Its nine themed chapters are created through autoethnographic, Practice-Led Research based on reporting and interpreting 87 interviewers with knitters and related interviewees. This includes their knittings’ relevance to key social issues such gender, women’s role and social inequality. It enriches the discussion of how, for many, knitting has become a tool for rebellion, art making and activism on feminist and political issues. It examines and demonstrate knitting’s ability not only to reflect the wider Australian society, but to influence that society through both individual and collective acts of knitting in the context of the gendered nature of the craft. Central to this artefact production and its exegetical framework are two complementary questions: How has the traditional craft of knitting, stereotypically a woman’s hobby for the purpose of producing utilitarian items including garments, evolved to become a tool for numerous other purposes including political protest, reinforcement of and rebellion against traditional gender roles, and the creation of fine art? What does the practice of knitting reveal about Australian society and how has it influenced events in that society since World War II? This project brings together insights into creative work that has largely been isolated as women’s craft, created by labour regarded as having no calculable value.

  • January 2014
    January 2014 Get in Gear or te New Year FREE COPY Editor’s Letter Business Minded ROSE CALLAHAN One of my favorite weekends of the year is the one spent at the Yarn Market News Smart Business Conference. The name of the conference is long and solidly describes what it is, but let’s be honest: It’s a little boring. It doesn’t get across just how fun and special this event actually is. When I tell people outside our industry why I’m unavailable that weekend, they give me a sympathetic look, for in their fields “professional development” is a tedious affair. But in our case, that’s not true at all. I’m quick to explain not only why I like going to the conference so much, but why it’s so important to the industry. The atmosphere is warm, Ofriendly and open, but it’s educational and inspiring as well. We’re there for serious work—the state of our economy is, after all, no laughing matter—but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun while we do it. Something that strikes me every year is how noncompetitive every- one is while they’re together. People with shops in the same general area commiserate about a problem customer, a local law that affects their businesses, the vagaries of the recent weather. Those who are meeting for the first time set up regular phone calls to talk shop once they’re back home. Owners who’ve been in business for decades regularly (and eagerly) share on our cover tips—handling vendors, for instance—with LYSOs who’ve been open for less than a year.

  • A Craft Makes a Comeback
    by Phyllis McIntosh A Craft Makes a Comeback The joy of “making a piece of string into something I can wear,” as one knitter described it, has catapulted the ancient craft of hand knitting into one of the most popular hobbies in the United States.
