Best Crafty Additions
RECEIVED Tue., July 13, 2010
Dear Editor,
I just filled out my “Best of Austin” ballot online. I am glad there was a spot for Wild Card, and I voted "Best East Austin Superhero – the Really White Vigilante.”
There were, however, a few local faves I just couldn't find a spot for on the ballot. Austin is crafty and has seen its share of DIY crafts, craft fairs, and the rise of Etsy. Renegade Craft Fair came to Austin for the first time, and Magda yarn-bombed the blue squares on South Lamar that no one likes.
Best Local Craft Entrepreneur – Jenny Hart, Sublime Stitching.
Best Group to Craft With – Arts and Drafts, 7pm, Thursdays, at Rio Rita.
Best Local Craft Supply/Education – for me, a tie: Helios Glass and the Knitting Nest.
