Hey Steven, we are going to miss you being Steven Be Fabulous at the Leprechaun Days parade this year. I’m was always inspired by the huge knitting needles on your float.
Loved this fabulous interview. It’s so easy to be inspired listening to Marly and Steven B together!
Fabulous show Marly. Be inspired is a great mantra.
Stephen Be Fabulously Inspired!!
Your Steven Be Fabulous interview was just that! I wish I lived in Mpls so I could go to your shop more often.
Enjoyed my first Marly Bird podcast with Stephen Be……Be inspired!!!
Listening to the Podcast with Steven Be. Love Steven’s shop and wish it was in the Twin Ports (Duluth/Superior). Steven is truly inspiring!
I love listening to Steven Be. His Be Inspired and fabulous are great mantras.
I first heard about Steven Be from Marly Bird’s podcast. When I heard he was coming to town last summer for the Steven and Stephen Tour workshop in Tulsa at Loops, our LYS I was so excited. I was a crocheter, but learned to knit just so I could attend! It was fabulous and so is Marly and the Social Medusa and Steven Be! Thank you for all the inspiration!
I have seen Steven B’s booth at Shepard’s harvest in MN. It is always a fabulous array of color with lots of inspiration!
I love to be inspired by great knitting personalities & Steven Be is # 1 !
I really needed to “be inspired” this week, so thanks for a great podcast! And I love the “sharve” Steven is wearing in the picture above! I must find that pattern
It’s always a laugh to hear Marly and Stephen. I can’t help but be inspired to create something fantastic. I was captivated by the conversation about Stephen’s motivation to knit and love the enthusiasm he has for Halos.
I love that your inheritance is coming in bags of 10. It would be fun to sit and chat with you and her, Marly too. I’d love to come to your shop and be inspired by all the yarns, notions and extras. Plus, an old firehouse turned yarn shop is such a cool idea for the space.
I will always remember my visit to Steven’s old shop years ago. Every time I see what he does, I can be inspired to create with fiber. I don’t live I. The Midwest anymore, so I hope I can catch him on his East Coast tour this fall!
Thursday’s show made me Be Inspired to get out the sock loom i bought on sale a finally gave it a go. Thinking I’ll have to have a girls day with my mom and head over to visit Steven Be’s shop 🙂
Steven B, Marly and Halos of Hope – how can you not be inspired?
Steven Be, you inspire me. Your originality, creativity and pizzazz!keep up the good work and the good deeds!
How can you not Be Inspired With all the creativity that pours from StevenB aand Marly Bird in one show… and lets not forget Halos of hope! Such a wonderful organization I have made hats for them and will do so in the future as well.
Thanks for another great show. I enjoyed listening to Steven. I love that he keeps the Be in his name so that he can Be Fabously, Be Inspired, Be anything you want to be. Halo’s of Hope is such a great cause and it is great that he is supporting this. What a way to share our talents with others.
Listening to Stephen B was fabulous and it is hard to listen to him and not be inspired. I am taking the podcast to my “knitting for others” group, because the are thinking our next project is cancer hatsl
It’s hard not to be inspired by all the wonderful designers you have on your show Marly. Thanks for the great interviews.
Be inspired – that’s so frequently what this podcast does for me!
I really enjoyed this episode. I like how even though StevenBe has achieved a high level of celebrity in the knitting community, he seems so lovable and down to earth. I love watching Steven Be Fabulous on social media as he always takes the time to pose for shots with friends and fans. He inspires me!
Be inspired, what a fabulous way to live! I enjoyed the podcast, as usual!
B Inspired, B Fabulous, B Creative, B Knitting (and Crochetting) So happy to B Listening to Stephen B and Marly B.
Stephen Be is quite the character! It was so fun and inspiring listening to him on the podcast, he has a fear zest for fun and art in the industry and it is so great to hear about him coming together with Halos of Hope. I wish I had time to visit a Stitches event, but maybe I’ll be able to sometime after grad school, lol.
I have never heard Stephen Be interviewed before. He is very inspiring!
Steven Be Fabulous, I loved the workshop that I did with you and Stephen West. I hope to take another one with you. So, happy to hear that you are working with Halos of Hope.
Steven B you are the most fabulous and you always inspire people. As does your mom! How about a knitting day at your moms shop. When I go in the store I’m not handed a basket to put yarn in – no I’m normally handed a big garbage bag to fill up!
Really enjoyed the podcast, it contains one of life’s truths, “if let yourself be inspired, you will be fabulous”
I will always Be Inspired when I see the new things Steven is working on. I love visiting his booth at Stitches andI hope I will be able to visit his shop in Minneapolis someday!
I am inspired to BE Inspired!
Steven Be inspired is a great motto and I’m always inspired when listening to yarn thing podcast.
Driving from Michigan to Maine. Listening to Marly and Steven Be in New York in the middle of the night. Their conversation allows me to be inspired to try new materials and patterns. Thank you for saving the podcasts for us to listen to at odd times!
I enjoyed learning about Steven Be, he’s from my state! Definitely inspired me to be fabulous 🙂
Listening to your podcast always makes me be inspired to try new crafty things!
