This is my first podcast so I hope you’ll bear with me while I sort out the techy things. I’m using audacity to record and edit. I found all the instructions at castwiki . I’ve decided to host through gcast as I need to do this for free at present. Thank you to those who have gone before me. I’ve enjoyed so many podcasts in the last couple of years and will eventually get them up on the Blogroll.. but for now lets start with two Australian podcasts: Sticks and Strings and Knitting Down Under , home of the Aussieknit podcast.
The Anecdote:
- This week I spoke about my about my adventures with embroidery as I make my way through the Take a Stitch Tuesday Challenge run by Sharon B.
- Here’s my funny little attempt at Cretan Stitch. I have redone the seahorse so hopefully there’s no giraffe in sight.
The Thrifty Knitter
- I purchased a seemly never-ending ball of yarn. It is Hot Socks by sockenwolle.
- I referenced the book “The Magic Pudding” by Norman Lindsay – a great Australian children’s classic.
- And I mentioned that I wouldn’t have been able to knit my hats without Math for Knitters podcast
Visits to the Yarn Store
- On this podcast we heard the monologue “Rosemary’s Visit”. I hope you enjoyed it. My intention is to write a number of them including different characters.
I hope you’ll join me for the next episode. I’ll endeavour to get a link to itunes and the rrs feed on the site as soon as I work it all out.

Oh… and your seahorse looks like a seahorse to me!
Whoops… I just read that you redid it. It definitely looks correct now. Do you have a “before” shot too?

Thanks for commenting Andrea and Shannon – unfortunately I don’t have a “before” photo of the seahorse – I didn’t know I was going to use the story for the podcast at the time otherwise I surely would have taken one… next time maybe.. I’m sure there’ll be another!

Hi! Thanks for the mention, and I can say that I, for one, am definitely happy to hear more Aussie voices in the knit/craft podcasting community. I’ll get back to my podcast one of these days, really!
The first episode sounds great – I can’t wait for more 🙂

I listened to the first one, and I have one constructive criticism; you speak a little too slowly. I think what you’re trying to do is keep your voice even and not too fast, and that’s fine, but you should relax a little more and speak naturally.

Great to find another Aussie knitcast. You sound warm and approachable and like someone we’d all like to sit and knit with. I’ve just finished this episode today and am now listening to you in Episode 2. I’m quite impressed!
I hope to hear from you for a long time to come.
Cheers from Florida!
