Sticks & String Podcast
A podcast by an Australian bloke who knits

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).

Sydney Sity Klickers Every second Saturday afternoon - Back again 6 January
NSW Knitter�s Guild - Blue Mountains - 3rd Saturday of each month

Spinning mentioned only briefly this week - I havenâ��t had much of a chance to get any done, but I did manage to get more very lumpy art yarn.

Show 8 - The Interknit

No spinning mentioned this week - I ran out of time. I really want to keep the shows between 30 and 40 mins (this week is about 35 mins). Also unless you're really into overspun lumpy yarn, then you're not missing anything. I have another lesson after I get the podcast out.

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.
