KnitCast goes to Toronto where I met up with Amy Singer, editor of Knitty, and Denny McMillian, knitter extraordinaire and employee of The Naked Sheep.

I meet Ann Budd, former editor of Interweave Knits and talk about her projects, Grand Plan patterns, and KnitScene magazine.

Yes, a year ago today I posted the very first edition of KnitCast! and to celebrate that first show I assmbled a group of knitting podcasters to talk about podcasting! We recorded it last month and here is the final result! Thanks to Brenda, Daniela, Caroline, Rhonda and Whit for giving up part of their Saturday for me! www.knitcast.com

In the latest KnitCast I meet the delightful Annie Modesitt. We talk Combination Knitting, getting her first Vogue Knitting cover and what's Cheaper Than Therapy. www.knitcast.com

In the first KnitCast of 2006 I catch up with Kerrie Allman, editor and founder of the UK-based online knitting magazine MagKnits. In addition to this Kerrie works full-time, has two children and an online business! She tells me how she fits it all in and still manages to find time to knit. www.knitcast.com

In the last KnitCast of 2005 I catch up with the internationally renowned British designer Debbie Bliss at the Knitting and Stitching Show. Debbie tells me about her design process and what she has planned for 2006. www.knitcast.com

Another podcast from The Knitting and Stitching Show! Knitting doctor Freddie Robins tells me how she makes pieces of work when she's too tired to make decisions, what it's like walking down the knitted aisle and how to subvert your knitting.

In my second visit to the Knitting and Stitching Show I meet up with Yvonne Davies in the Relax and Knit Area. Yvonne talks about teaching people to knit and the joys of buying yarn spun from an Alpaca with the same name as a good friend. email - [email protected]

The Knitting and Stitching Show is the largest event of its kind in the UK and a must visit for any British knitter. Andrew Salmon is Managing Director of Creative Exhibitions, the organisers of the show. He tells me about the past and future of the show and how he was once forced to knit with a pair of golf clubs!
