Announcements

• The number of knitting podcasts continues to grow – Here are three new ones to try.
• Belle of the Ball
• Diva knitting
• Knit Obsession with zknits.

The Annecdote

• My stash of yarn is pretty small but my stash of love overflows  – this is a tale of how Valentine’s day was celebrated at my place.
• At the moment my favourite stash yarn is Madil Kid seta in a beautiful cornflower blue.

The Thrifty Crafter

• Someone left a comment on an earlier episode with a link to Amazon sale pages.  I decided to link to some online yarn store sale pages:
• The knittery
• OZEyarns
• Yarns online
• The wool Shack
• Wool Baa
• The Knitting loft
• Also…I though I’d just mention The Wool Inn at Penrith, NSW.  It has a pay as you knit system going where they hold yarn for 2 months so you can buy it a bit a t a time – good for all us thrifty knitters…not that I live close enough to make use of it – what a shame.
• THE PAY IT FORWARD SWAP – I have joined this swap but no-one has joined me.  If you think you might be interested check out my personal blog for the guidelines.

Starbuckles – the Cafe` Chronicles

• Yay!  It’s a new Segment!  I hope you enjoy it.
• I hang out at Starbucks a fair bit because they leave me alone while I’m knitting or embroidering.  I’m going to collect some stories as I sit there…and bring them to you.
• In this episode you’ll hear the first installment about my encounter with a very young and novice stitcher…and her Mum.

Visits to the Yarn store – Ellen’s Visit

• I’ve recently attended a couple of Rubi and Lana Knitting group meet-ups. Everyone has been absolutely delightful.  But that didn’t stop me from being nervous and so I wrote “Ellen’s visit”
• This is an entirely fictional account.

Inspirations

• I couldn’t go past Kevin Rudd’s apology speech to the indigenous people of Australia in the inspiration stakes.
• Here’s a link to some information about it.

• I also mentioned that Autumn has come to Australia, NSW.  It’s good and inspiring knitting weather.

Music

• In this episode we heard:
• “Extremely Old With You” by Paul and Storm
• “The Swimming Song” by Blue Dew
• All music from today’s podcast was from the Podsafe Music Network
