Another knitting video podcast has appeared (ok I'm a few episodes behind) Knitting Step By Step.
Henry got the first steek cut this week,and all went well.
If you want to hear more of the Manor House Music group's work then visit them here. I'll see if I can host the Sheep may safely graze file for them.

A terrific interview this show with Margaret Stove from New Zealand about her adventures in lace knitting, and how to design lace yourself.
Purchasing the book is complex, if you're in Australia, you can get it from Ashford's distributor here or if you're anywhere else, you can contact Artisan Lace in New Zealand.

This show's music is by the Manor House String Quartet and is their new recording of Sheep May Safely Graze by J.S. Bach which they did specially for the show - thanks so much.

The new knitting podcast Sweaters for Dragons is available on iTunes, or here.

This week Leanne Crofts from Tapestry Craft and Morris Yarns tells us about her wonderful job.
I look at a complex mathematical problem that apparently vexes knitters around the world.

Thanks once more to Michelle Griffin for the wonderful theme music. This week, given the cashmere yarn that turns up in the interview, it's particularly apt.
