    Stitching Up Friendship with Commuknitty

    Stitching Up Friendship with Commuknitty

    Hannah hangs with Louisa, her long time pal and fellow knitter. Work with Interweave brought these two together, but the thread they follow when they jump into the rabbit hole of their friendship uncovers so much more. It's about commuknitty, love, and sometimes, the color green.

    Everlaceting Love

    Everlaceting Love

    There is a lot to love about knitting lace. It can be challenging to learn at first, but once you’ve gotten used to the rhythm and the moves, it becomes quite meditative and therapeutic. Not to mention how gratifying it feels to finish a fancy lace project.

    String Theory

    We're talking about the twists and turns of yarn with friend of the show, Scott Sieke. Not only is Hannah surprised to find that there are two very specific twists to yarn, but that there is a Western style of knitting, and an Eastern style. Who knew, knitters?

I have absolutely loved your nerd cast I first heard you on FibreNation
I enjoy how you “weave” history, ancestry, community and culture in with tech’s influence on fiber and fiber nudging technology in new directions

This past year has heightened our appreciation of adapting, being flexible, looking for opportunity — at “warp” speed. Your nerd cast feels like an unraveling of the speed at which change occurs

Thank you for letting me settle in for a listen.

how bout dem cowboys!! ,

Entertaining and attention grabbing.

Glad I started listening to the crafting podcasts. Especially during quarantining. I hope to hear more reason! Really enjoyed the bird and the art museum episodes!
