Even our Wikipedia entry is crafty!

Okay, so, feeling better, but still laying low today.

Thought I’d share this, though: during a web search for something totally unrelated, I discovered that the Portland Church of Craft chapter is listed in the Wikipedia entry for Portland! Holy Moly – check this out:

“Portland is well known as a hub of American youth culture.

From the late 1980′s through today, Portland has been a major center for movements such as zine-making, including hosting such events as the Portland Zine Symposium and home to major zine distributors such as Microcosm. The DIY craft community has also seen a population explosion in Portland since the 1990′s and now hosts such events as Crafty Wonderland and regular Church of Craft meetings, and is home to such stores as Knittn’ Kitten, SCRAP, and many independently-owned stores such as Bolt, Yarn Garden, and the downtown Fiber District. Portland is also home to radical feminist and lesbian activist movements, and the city is also considered a haven for punk, hardcore, crust punk and anarchist movements and subgenres, including the self-reliant DIY culture movement that has been part of the aforementioned subcultures.”

. . . Well, a little bit of coolness for a Sunday afternoon! Awesome that Knittn’ Kitten, SCRAP, and Crafty Wonderland are in there, too. Whoever added this material, thank you!

Hope you’re all having a splendid weekend. Thank you so much for all the get-well comments. They warmed my heart. You guys are the absolute best.
