Thanks
- Thanks to those who have commented on the site or emailed me.
- Thanks also to those who have left reviews on itunes – I don’t seem to be able to access them but Shannon from SSK kindly read them out to me.
New Podcast
- There is another new podcast out called Knit Science. I hope you enjoyed the promo for this and will give her a listen.
The Annecdote
- Today I mentioned my lovely friend’s reaction to some of my “experimental pieces”. The ones I was considering selling at the markets.
- She had some interesting suggestions… and I will take some of them on board.
- Needless to say: I’m still experimenting
The Thrifty Crafter
- In this episode I mentioned one of my favourite cheap book stores, Basement Books at Central Station, Sydney.
- I mentioned a few of the books I have purchased there including:
- Cosy Crochet by Melissa Leapman and
- Needlepoint by Kate Tully (I couldn’t find a site with pictures for this one)
- Currently Basement books has Family Album by Kaffe Fasset and Zoe Hunt in stock and selling for $5.95. I think I saw about 15 copies on the table.
- I mentioned that I’d be most happy for listeners to leave details of their own favourite thrifty craft book store …so…please do leave a comment and info for everyone else. But please note that obviously I can’t check them all out and so do not take responsibility for any dodgy directions.
Visits to the Yarn Store
- In this episode we heard about Dianne’s day at the Yarn Store.
- Poor Dianne needs a hand in learning to knit.
- I learned to knit from the book Knitting Workshop by Debbie Bliss. I will love this book forever as it was my first knitting book. But I paid about $50 for this book! I hadn’t discovered Basement books yet.
Inspirations
- In this episode I was able to read a poem called “Ode to a Knitted Dishcloth” by Leigh from The Chemgrrl Chronicles
Music
- We listened to “Big Shot” by the Big George Jackson Blues Band and
- “People Make Mistakes” by Aaron Short.
- All music can be found on the podsafe music network

Hi there! I love your podcast! I think The Visits to the Yarn Store is usually my favorite part about your show! Or is it The Anecdote? Or maybe The Thrifty Crafter? Ok, so I love them all! Thanks for making me laugh and look forward to new episodes!

I just found your podcast yesterday and laughed like a lunatic to all four episodes during a long walk this morning. Your show is amazing. I’ve just left a review over on iTunes. Thanks for the marvelous listening.

I just found your podcast and love it so far. I’ve listened to the first four and am working my way through the rest. As far as bargain books go, I get most of mine online at half.com (an ebay site). I’m a college student and find most of my textbooks here, either used or as overstocks. I have also used it for novels, home design books, and knitting books. Right now they have Debbie Bliss’s Knitting Workbook from $10 to around $20. I’m looking for a brick and mortar bargain bookstore in my area (Los Angeles), but haven’t as yet found one.

I love your podcast and I find I always laugh while listening. Thank you for your review on Cozy Crochet. I happened to see it while at a used bookstore the other day and I’m going to go back and get it after listening to your review. Keep up the good work!
