CleanShow 175 - News | Busy since the last show, but the first book is ready to go to its audience tomorrow as school goes back. The Audible special offer is here. The music this week is from Takashi Matsuishi Spark’s album Preludes from Magnatune. Follow me on twitter, @reidyd, for various photos including the panoramas take with the 360 application on the iPhone. The yarn I reviewed, Paton’s Shadow Tweed is a nice chunky blend, perfect for winter, but I can’t put a link in because it appears to have been discontinued (which explains why it was so cheap I suppose). While I was in Canberra last week, I went to the Handwritten exhibition, and added some 360 panoramas to my collection. A direct link to the show is here, so you can play it on your computer. | 1/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanShow 173 - Forced labour | Three weeks since the last show, and I hope every one had a nice Christmas or whatever, and 2012 is off to a good start so far. The music this week is from the allMeadow and Rob Costlow’s latest collaboration over on Magnatune. The weather has been getting better and I’ve been able to get out bush walking most days, which means there have been lots of photos.

I’ve got a great line up of events planned for you including a trip to Experience Stansborough, a working sheep farm, a local yarn manufacturer, and Craft 2.0 a modern craft event. You’ll also get to take part in workshops led by Men, a knitting themed quiz night, go on a yarn crawl and still have plenty of time to just and sit and knit in the company of other Men. Our venue is the Silverstream Retreat Complex nestled in the Hutt Valley which is only a short drive along the Hutt Motorway from Wellington City. More specifically we’ll be staying in the Stonewall Lodge (I don’t expect there to be a riot but we should be able to manage some riotous fun!). The complex was originally built for the United States Armed Forces stationed in New Zealand during the 1940’s and 1950’s. It is a substantial complex which is currently being renovated but the great news for us is that the Stonewall Lodge renovation is already complete and features comfortable share twin accommodation which overlooks the beautiful Hutt River and Manor Park Golf Course.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

CleanSticks and String - Show 1 - Make a slip knot | Welcome to the first show. If you'd asked me six months ago if I had any plans to do a podcast, my answer would have been "No". I knew about pod-casts, in fact I'd been listening to pod-casts from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) since they had put their beta system up in 2005, and one from a group of Everquest 2 gamers, but I had no intention of becoming a pod-caster. This week's essay (yes I stole the idea from Brenda Dayne at Cast-On) sort of details the journey. The book I reviewed in the pod-cast is Knitter's Handbook by Montse Stanley. The cardigan I'm knitting for mum for Christmas is the Striped Cardigan from threads&more. Look for the next show next weekend, once again, I'm planning on recording it on Saturday (Australian time) and posting it sometime on that day. The essay is available here.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Knitting and Fiber Podcast! My Favorite!
This is an superb knitting and fiber information podcast. The professionalism and relaying of excellent information and interesting interviews is part of what makes this my favorite fiber podcast. David is very professional, articulate, and warm. I can recommend this podcast to others without worry of any questionable or explicit content and be assured that quality information is imparted. Thank you, David.
A Smart, Professional, and Interesting Podcast
I'm really excited to hear a new Aussie podcast that's professionally recorded, with an articulate presenter, interesting content, and it's local! David has a great voice, and a fresh take on on the Aussie knit scene. Can't wait for more.
Love it!
A thoroughly enjoyable podcast. Professionally presented and easy to listen to. David is articulate and interesting - no stumbling along or a single "um" in his shows. The podcasts move smoothly along and I enjoy his music choices. I look forward to many more shows!
