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 was delighted to see a new podcast this week, and thoroughly enjoyed this one. I'm an American and would never feed my children Kool-ade, by the way. ;-) It's great fun and relatively safe for children to dye with, however.
If you love the natural Dye Studio yarns - check out their group on Ravelry. They are having a crochet-a-long and they also have something called 'Bessies Blanket club' which is a great way to sample all their yarns. I'm a huge fan of their stuff.
Loved the podcast - I've never been to a proper 'knitting/yarn' show but am thinking about going to I-kint.
I have just found your podcast and listened to them all. I really enjoyed listening to them and hope you are able to do more as and when you have the time. All the best with your twins, who sound adorable when they are chuntering on in the background. Waving at ya from West Yorks.
Enjoyed this episode. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I drank a lot of KoolAid as a kid. My 3 year old isn't a big fan of it. And now there is also sugar free Koolaid. If you are interesting in dying yarn with it, let me know and I'd be happy to pick some up and send it to you. :-)
I'm so glad to hear you podcasting again! I love the sound of your voice. And your down-to-earth attitude, and true pleasure in what you've been given. Just a note - iTunes says it's having trouble connecting to your website. You may wanna check...
Keep the episodes coming!
Funny you did not know what Kool-Aid was, it is just you assume everyone country should know about it.
I used to dye my hair with Kool-Aid when I was in high school. You could get a lovely red if you combined the grape and cherry together. Your hair smelled fruity for almost a week.
Love your podcast.
