Flock Fiber Festival + La Mercerie - Special spaces for makers w/ Jess Povenmire & Jen Joyce, ep 164
To know Jess is to love Jess and Jess' love of this special fiber arts community is very evident in everything she does. From in her yarn shop on Bainbridge Island, WA (shoplamercerie.com) to Flock Fiber Festival (flockfiberfestival.com), a yarn show in Seattle, WA, celebrating a love of all things wool, the fibers arts community is so very lucky to have these two spaces to come together and celebrate these things that we love and bring us the most joy!
Jen hopped on a ferry and headed out to Bainbridge to chat with Jess about La Mercerie and their new space (which... *spoiler alert* was the home of Churchmouse Yarns for years!) and also how Flock is growing in its second year and the things that she's doing to keep it so very special.
So grab your WIP and hit play and we hope to see you at Flock Fiber Festival!

    Does anyone know what sweater pattern Jess is wearing? I've scoped Flock and La Mercerie's IG and not seeing a post with it. It's so cute!

    I can totally understand losing yourself in my motherhood but also losing your sense of purpose in your making. That happened to me when I went to art school. Luckily this sense of purpose came back when I started knitting and dying yarn which has also opened the door again to my sense of purpose to be artistic in other ways like drawing and grafic design.

    I met Abi in VKL NY, and she was incredibly kind to me while I was waiting to introduce a friend to Jen, who was busy interviewing other people. Abi offered to give me a sign when the timing was right, and her help was truly invaluable. I also asked if I could film her stylish outfit, and she enthusiastically assisted me in finding other beautiful garments. Everything worked out well in the end, and my friend was successfully interviewed. I felt genuinely appreciated and understood by Abi and I'm truly grateful for her support. It's inspiring to see that she, as a fellow Latina, is challenging the system in such a positive manner. Thank you for being such a great role model, Abi!

    At the 37 mark you mentioned listening to the testers feedback. This reminded me when I did a test knit for a designer in a larger size, the sleeves and neck where crazy huge and I gave them feedback and they just said I should have knitted a smaller size. But this was the size the pattern recommended for my bust.
