This podcast combines week 2 and 3 of the Woolly Notebook Knit-along. I take a look at the patterns Castiel and Half Theory from Woolly Wormhead, take a look at the difference in yarn overs (hint they are not all created equally) before moving on to the Tin Can Knits Strange Brew KAL and there is a special look at the Knitting and Stitching Show in Dublin this November. If all of that wasn't enough there is also a look at what you can be doing in your garden this October/November.

Welcome to week 1 of the Let's Get Woolly Hat Knit-along.  It's time to grab those needles, choose your hat pattern and start checking your gauge and cast on. 

Over the next 4 weeks, this series of podcasts will focus around the Let's Get Woolly KAL. If you are not sure what that is pop on over to this blog post.  We will be chatting about hat sizes, finding a style for you, cast on, gauge and all the FAQ's and chat from the Ravelry group or social online.

In this episode of the podcast Emma Robinson of Woolly Mammoth Fibre Company joins me on the show to give us a glimpse into the world behind those beautiful yarns. 

The latest episode of the podcast is something special and I am so glad that I can share it with all of you. This is the first time that my personal blog/podcast has overlapped with my work and I am delighted to be able to share the Yarn in Ireland panel recorded live on stage at Woollinn on the show.

Woollinn is Dublin's Festival of Yarn and it was held on May 25th and 26th 2018 in the ALSAA complex right beside Dublin Airport. This is evident in the recording as you can hear the odd plane flying low overhead. This is the first time we have had a festival of this kind in Dublin and the first time (to my knowledge) that a panel has been formed of independent professionals to speak on the current state of yarn in Ireland today. We wanted to celebrate how rich in talent we are here in Ireland and if anything, I think we can all agree that this panel was too short and I promise, I am already working on making this topic more widely available.

In this feature-length episode, we meet Kate from A Playful Day and get to chat about blogging, online identity, social media and her journey from the start of A Playful Day to where she is now. We chat about creating an online space, being seen, exploring our own identity and Woollinn, Dublin.  Time to make that cuppa and settle in for an interesting episode.

In this episode of the podcast Grace a.k.a the host of Babbles Travelling Yarns podcast joins me to chat about her new role as the IGWSD PRO officer, upcoming events, her wonderful podcast and of course yarn. Come on in, grab a cuppa and have a listen while working on your latest yarn project.
