Welcome to show 9, This week we travel to Nundle. There�s no essay this week as the Nundle trip story takes it�s place (and the �Unravelling Yarns� one I had written really needs a good edit and rewrite to be ready). What�s happening The links to sites throughout the show: This show�s music Link to the show file Spinning mentioned only briefly this week - I haven�t had much of a chance to get any done, but I did manage to get more very lumpy art yarn. You can contact me at: podcast at sticksandstring dot com dot au (I�m sure you know to replace the at with @ and the dot with . but perhaps the spam bots won�t.) If you�d like to contribute to Sticks & String, guest essays, reviews, suggestions of music, people to interview, please just let me know. And please let me know about your knitting group I�d love to have to start a whole separate page because the list is too long. |

Welcome to the first show. If you'd asked me six months ago if I had any plans to do a podcast, my answer would have been "No". I knew about pod-casts, in fact I'd been listening to pod-casts from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) since they had put their beta system up in 2005, and one from a group of Everquest 2 gamers, but I had no intention of becoming a pod-caster. This week's essay (yes I stole the idea from Brenda Dayne at Cast-On) sort of details the journey. The book I reviewed in the pod-cast is Knitter's Handbook by Montse Stanley. The cardigan I'm knitting for mum for Christmas is the Striped Cardigan from threads&more. Look for the next show next weekend, once again, I'm planning on recording it on Saturday (Australian time) and posting it sometime on that day. The essay is available here. What's happening This show's music Fumitaka Anzai Forest in the morning (link) From the bottom of the knitting bag You can contact me at: podcast at sticksandstring dot com dot au (I'm sure you know to replace the at with @ and the dot with . but perhaps the spam bots won't.) |

This is really just a place holder so that I can test how things are working and get some music organised for the real first episode.
