Greetings fellow Yarniacs! This episode Gayle and I welcome a
special guest to the podcast. We are thrilled to share a chat with
Benjamin Levisay. Benjamin Levisay is the CEO of XRX, Inc., the
family-owned business that brings us Knitter's Magazine, XRX Books,
and the STITCHES Expos.
Benjamin shares the humble beginnings of the family yarn shop and
his memories of weaving on his dad's looms, to how during a family
outing at a local pizza joint his uncle suggested the family start
their own magazine. Because really, how hard could that be? And so,
a new chapter of the family business was born. If you have attended
a STITCHES Expo, cracked open an XRX book, or studied the pages of
Knitter's Magazine, you will appreciate the care and attention to
detail XRX places on each pattern, each page, each Expo
attendee.
We are preparing our shopping lists and expectations for attending
the upcoming STITCHES West 2013 and hope this brief chat will
enlighten and hopefully inspire you to check out the magazine, a
new book, or the Expos from XRX.
