A couple weeks ago I asked what crochet and knitting blogs you all enjoyed. The responses were overwhelming! Now I want to know, what do you enjoy listening to... podcast wise that is. As an iPod nano carrier, I tend to find my favorite podcasts via iTunes. One of my favorites to listen to over the winter was KnitMore Girls. It's a mother-daughter team and they cover knitting and spinning. One of the things I appreciate is that their 30 minute "show" is broken into fun and amusing segments like "Mother Knows Best" or "When Knitting Attacks!". While both are extraordinary knitters, they readily talk about their mistakes and ask listeners for advice on how to solve problems in their knitting.
Perhaps my second favorite podcast has something to do with my former life as a children's librarian. You be the judge. KnitLark Lane is a woman reading classic literature while you and she knit. The podcasts alternate between fairy tales, a novel, and her talking about knitting and books. My only complaint is that it's not updated regularly. Still, there are plenty of archived stories to keep me going.
A podcast that I haven't yet listened to is Knitting History. A fairly new addition to the podcast world, it covers the history of fiber arts. There is something really intriguing about this and as I type, I'm in the process of downloading several of her early shows to give them a go.
Okay. Your turn. What podcasts are you listening to? I can't wait to be introduced to new friends, so spill the beans!
