Interweave Press Acquires Fiberarts
If you thought the knitting biz was exempt from mergers and acquisitions, think again. On February 9, Interweave Press completed its acquisition of Fiberarts magazine, a venerable publication begun the same month and year as Interweave launched its first magazine, Handwoven.
Fiberarts' fate had been uncertain after its parent company, Sterling Publishing Company, was suddenly acquired by Barnes and Noble last year. I look forward to watching one of my favorite magazines get even better.

Valentine's Day is this month, which means one thing: chocolate! At the end of this month I'll pick one newsletter subscriber to receive a luxurious ballotin of Godiva chocolate. Stay subscribed and you could be picked.
