You know those people who invite you over and make you look at photo after photo of them on vacation? Well, that is me this episode. I went to Portugal on a crafting holiday, and really wanted to share it with you. I promise it won’t be boring. Well, I can’t promise that but…

Well, this is it. I have decided to make a podcast.
I am thinking of it like this: what’s the big deal? If I fail and everyone hates it, I can quit anytime and move on. If I succeed, I will have a place to share tutorials and a place to regularly ‘meet’ with my knitting people. Either way, the only things I’m risking are time and pride, right?
Unlike many other podcasters, I won’t really be able to share what I am knitting all the time, because I am almost always knitting on a new design of my own. So what will I talk about?
First of all, I’ll share tutorials and tips regularly. I forget sometimes how it feels to be a beginner knitter, when there is everything to learn and no knowledge can be taken for granted. I have made photo tutorials, but I think having video will really help to make techniques clear and understandable.
Of course I will talk about upcoming events, new (and occasionally older) designs, and other people’s designs I wish I had time to knit… of which there are many!
To that end, here is my (bizarrely earnest!) introduction to the podcast:
Please do tell me what you think, if you like things or don’t. What are you interested in hearing about, seeing with regard to craft and knitting?
I like structure and the idea of having a regular (I’m thinking fortnightly) deadline to hold myself accountable for having something to show for my 2 weeks. The first episode will come out a couple of weeks after Edinburgh Yarn Fest, hopefully giving me enough time to recover and organise myself, and make a great first go of it:) Wish me luck… !
