Hello and thanks for looking at my podcast page! Knitty Nora picks a different topic each time and goes through some of the techniques she's used or has learned, reviews books on the topic and anything else that might interest you. Anyway, the best way to find out of her podcasts are for you is to listen to them -- give one a try! If you would like to see some of the things I've knitted, click on the little photos or the link to my Etsy shop below. If you like my theme tune, it's from a song called "Knitting" by Arthur Askey, a famous comedian from the 1930s and 40s. You can find this and others of his songs in iTunes or on many of his CDs, which are widely available.
