craft 2.0

Seems there's a bunch of buzz these days about the resurgence of craft. Crafty Planet, my local indie craft store, is doing well, and has sponsored a perfectly gigantic and marvelous indie-craft show 2 years running. I just read a great article in Craft: Magazine (in its second issue) about indie-crafting, and it's roots to punk (comparing it to the spirit embraced in the music of the Ramones. Even the boy thought it was cool.)

And this morning, I ran across an article in Wired about Craft 2.0, and how the worlds of geek and craft nicely intermingle. Have to say, I couldn't agree more.
