Knitty Nora's knitting natter
Knitty Nora has been having problems with her computer which have prevented her posting a message until now. The next podcast may take a while, as she has just given birth to twins! When she is not dealing with them, she is a keen knitter from the North East of England. Her podcast has been featured in Let's Knit magazine and has attracted listeners from the UK, the States, South Africa, Italy and Canada (that she knows of). Thank you everyone! Listen in to hear her knitting experiences and to find other links, hints and tips.

We spend so much time fondling our yarn and extolling its virtues that we tend to overlook the fact that it would be no good if we didn't have knitting needles. What would we do without them? Knitty Nora gives them some much-deserved attention, and talks about her latest projects and workshops.

Hello and thanks for looking at my podcast page!
Knitty Nora has been having problems with her computer which have prevented her posting a message until now. The next podcast may take a while, as she has just given birth to twins! When she is not dealing with them, she hopes to pick a different topic each time and go through some of the techniques I've used or have learned, review books I've found on the topic and anything else that I think might interest you.
Anyway, the best way to find out of my 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.

I just love your podcasts and think you're very brave to produce them. I've recently come back to knitting after a long stint being obsessed with quilts, and just realized what a renaissance has ocurred in my absence! Everyone seems to be knitting and creating wonderful things - and thanks for mentioning Ravelry.com, although it does become addictive in itself, and can really take away from knitting and quilting time! Very dangerous!
Thanks so much for your fun and funny podcasts! Knit On!
Thank you for your wonderful podcasts! I used to live in England (but now reside in Canada) and I very much enjoy finding out what's on the "knitting scene" in the UK. Keep up the great work!
I LOVE THIS PODCAST!! Sorry for shouting, but I do! You are real and sincere and honest and your voice is very soothing! Keep up the great work!
