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.

I'm so glad you're back! Just downloaded the podcast - can't wait to listen. I've had you in re-runs for ages. Hope the visits with the knitting group return as well. My favorite episode is the one where everyone discusses their stash.
Nora! Such wonderful news, you're back podcasting and you have twins. How exciting. How lovely.

So lovely to hear your voice again - really pleased that you are back and that your new family is thriving. Thanks also for the sensitive and moving comments on pregnancy & babies. I tried for 3 years before eventually conceiving naturally and I think during that time we ran the gamut of every 'well-meaning' comment there has ever been :)Good luck with everything and look forward to hearing more from you.
What a wonderful surprise! I'm so glad your back.
Thank you so much for your notes, I really appreciated them! Am hoping to put up another episode soon. Would have helped if, in a fit of nappy-brain, I'd not accidentally deleted the recording!
Oh dear!!
*is really secretly hoping it was the recording from Thursday night and that she can get away with not discussing the topic again!*
It is quite nice to listen to your podcasts again though.
Hehehe, hope you're well and the babies are behaving themselves.
Love Katie xxx
YAY!!! Same as Ann, I'm so glad you're back. Just downloaded the podcast. Can't wait to listen.
Welcome back! Congratulations on the new little ones. So glad to hear your voice again!
Hi Katie,
THAT topic will be appearing in a couple of episodes time...
Oh drat...
Thats not the one you deleted then!
It really is lovely to have your podcasts back, however sporodic they may end up being :)
Nora,
I just listened to this episode and would like to say Thank You for sharing the issues of sensitivity regarding having children or at least not being able to have them. I too am an older mother of twins and my husband and I tried for 11 years, bearing well-intentioned but painful comments by others.
Anyway, when the twins were 14 months old and we were still thrilled with having children at all, one of my boys developed autism within a week after his MMR/Hib vaccination. We were devastated. My boys are 6 now and the journey has been hard.
Please please please be careful and educate yourself about the vaccine schedule!!! Spread them apart and NEVER give them within a month of any illness. Your babies are too precious to risk any harm. Warm wishes to your family,

I am so happy you are back Nora.....your soothing voice and sensible, intelligent content is a joy to listen to. I too had many miscarriages and numerous problems conceiving, but now have two beautiful twenty-something adult children (boy and girl) and feel very blessed. I thought what you had to say was very much worth listening to.
Hope you stay podcasting for us for a long time. Take care, Jenny
Welcome back! Congratulations on the new babies - I'm glad all are healthy and well.

PS: Thank you for your wise words about what not to say to us not-childless-by-choice. You articulated so well the pain that I and others feel.
