Cast On — Crafts
Cast On

Cast On began on Monday, 31 October, 2005, founded on nothing more than the desire to talk about knitting to people who get it. Since then, the podcast has evolved to focus on finding inspiration in the ordinary, using it to kick start the process of making stuff, and finding ways to carve out the creative time and space that allows you to work your ass off on the projects that matter most to you. Like knitting a sweater. Or saving the world.

157 Colour Me Happy Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, colour gives my capsule wardrobe design process a much needed shot in the arm. This one is all about lush, gorgeous, juicy, delicious colour that makes you want to bite it. And I feel another design brief coming on.

156 An unlikely scenario for a sitcom Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

Passing a kidney stone: the Attenborough version; sewing patterns and their history; resting comfortably; and a linen shirt.

If I ever meet Geoffery Rush in person, you can be sure I'll ask him how long it took him to learn to draft a suit jacket for the title scene in The Tailor of Panama.

155 Memento Mori Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

A week where nothing much happens, and a new ironing board cover is cause for celebration. The beach figures prominently. And a suitcase. And bras, again. Trousers are on hold while I pursue the swimsuit of my dreams. Same old same old. Pretty much.

A listener let me know this week that the episode permalinks created by my hosting company, Libsyn, link to the old Cast On website, and not to the show notes at my current website (brendadayne.co.uk). I'm working with Libsyn to find a solution. Thanks for your patience.

154 More than a feeling Jun 12, 2021

Show notes

Why do 500 bows from China cost £2.00, but 20 bows from Lancaster cost £4.30? Asking, and answering the hard questions.

In this episode: Bows. Bras. Very slow fashion. Glamour is more than a feeling.

153 I, Curator May 22, 2021

152 The Brief May 15, 2021

Show notes

Pattern making and design, casting on some things, binding off some things, burning some things, and a design brief. With bonus dog snoring, and electronic interference from a phone, placed too close to the mic while recording. Mea culpa. Total rookie mistake.

151 Palais Ideal May 08, 2021

Show notes

Envision the work. Collect the materials. Commit to the plan. Make. That’s how you build a palace. That’s how knit happens.

150 Nine Heads Apr 24, 2021

Show notes

Winter clothes move to off-season storage, and spring clothing moves in; bricolage informs my deconstruction of The Red Edge; and an interview with My Body Model founder, Erica Schmitz.

The weather continues charming.
