Episode 2 show notes

Just a short episede this week while I'm on my way to work. I hope the audio is ok for you, I can hear a little background noise, but I didn't think it was too bad. Let me know if it is, though, because it's really easy for me to record while driving and I'll do it more if the quality is ok!

What's on the needles - Clown barf socks, and Hitchhiker by Martina Behm

What's off the needles - No FO's : (

Coming up - Socks out of Felici (I'll probably make a plain vanilla sock) and the Gramps cardigan by Tin Can Knits (I got that one right!) out of Cotton Ease or Comfy Worsted

Spinning - This fiber from Edgewood Garden Studios is what I finished that turned out really nice. I'm currently spinning BFL/Tussah silk from Paradise Fibers. I also got 8oz of Wensleydale (not Corridale) and Cranberry colored Merino (not Falkland).

Not knitting - Vacation!!! I'm super excited : )


Thanks for listening!

My empty little Ravelry group. Join me?

I have a published podcast!

And it took FOREVER. And, I have no idea what I'm doing.

I am trying to get everything to publish through iTunes, but I still need time. In the meantime, here is a link to my libsyn page and you can listen to the podcast there.

Unfortunately, it's in two parts. Sorry about that.

Please let me know what you think!

Ep 1 Pt 2 2013-03-23-21:30:01

Yep, I'm still figuring this out...

Check out this episode!

I'm gonna be a podcaster!

Hi,

I'm Rachel, also known as Reecie and I am a knittingaholic. Yes, I sometimes feel like I need a 12 step program to curb my knitting addiction, and I've only been knitting for less than a year! You see, I've known how to crochet almost my whole life, and I enjoyed it, but never enough to really keep up with it. Then about ten months ago I decided to teach myself to knit, and I've been hooked (unintentional crochet pun) ever since.

Why start a podcast, you ask? Well, I live in a small town and most of the time, I feel like I am the only knitter around. I don't have anyone to share my love of knitting with, so I'm going to reach out and make some knitting friends. And I won't discriminate. If you love yarn, I'd love to be your friend. Knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving, tatting (anyone want to educate me on this one), dyeing - I am a friend to all fiber artists and all fiber lovers. Heck, if you raise sheep, I'd love for you to join in too. We all know that without the sheep, we'd be nowhere.

So, please join me on my podcasting adventure. I have no clue what I'm doing, and it might be terrible (seriously, if it is, please let me know), but I'll do the best I can.

You can find me on Ravelry, Twitter and Plurk (I'm still figuring this one out) as rnsidell.

Hope to see you soon!

Rachel
