Mythical Makers Episode 1: Introductions

Rather than running around squealing like excited children Karen and I have finally launched the podcast!

Today we introduce ourselves, our history with knitting and crochet, and how we got started in the world of design and running our own businesses.

We cover some break-through moments in our own journeys learning these skills.

Full Transcript Available for the Hearing Impaired.

Karen is knitting up a Dragon Lace Scarf.

Episode 2: Working with testers

All reputable designers test their patterns before releasing them into the wild.  This can be a scary and frustrating process for designers to go through. Here Karen and I discuss how we differ in our approaches to test knitting, the different platforms we have experimented with in the past and how you can be an amazing Test Knitter who is asked to join all the tests going.

Who wouldn’t want an endless supply of fresh new designs to knit for free!

Full Transcript Available for the Hearing Impaired.

Karen is continuing to knit her Dragon Lace scarf, and rather than another progress photo I thought I’d share what the completed piece will look like.

Mythical Makers Episode 3: Chat with Tineke Corin of YarnPond

We hope you’re having as much fun listening to the podcast as we do making it!

Today we chat with Tineke Corin about her new test knitting wonder, Yarnpond. It makes the whole test knitting process so much easier and less stressful!

Full Transcript Available for the Hearing Impaired.

I’m knitting socks…again!  Still with the wrong yarn, as I await the new yarn to arrive in the post.  You gotta love squishy mail!

If you’re enjoying the podcast, please let us know in the comments: we’d love to hear from you!

I have no clue what a lifeline is, so Karen explains these lifesavers for me, when and how to use them.

We also discuss how and when to use Stitch Markers, and how insanely, addictively collectible these pretty, shiny beauties can become!

Karen is continuing to knit her Dragon Lace Scarf.

Mythical Makers podcast coming soon.

Karen and I will be regularly chatting, and giggling, about the reality of running a yarn-based business, interviewing guests about their yarn businesses and possibly interviews with community members too.
