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.

Show notes

Top tips for self care, including the one where all pink lipstick is improved by renaming it "Your Crazy Grandma". Yarn, fabric and a crazy-ass costume book arrive by post to save the day. Projects finished, and projects in Time Out that need to think very hard about what they've done. There really is a lot on the needles for someone who has an enormous bolt of toile fabric to cut into.

147 Femme Dandy Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

On the needles this week, I got nothing. I made a sock toe. I knit a couple of gauge swatches. I’m very much in between projects right now. But, oh! The projects in my head. Who's your dandy?

144 All this buttoning and unbuttoning* Feb 20, 2021

Show notes

The title of this episode is said to hail from an 18th century suicide note, although the anecdote is, apparently, apocryphal. That said, when it comes to knitwear closures, I can definitely relate. Fortunately, there are better and more creative ways to minimize knitwear misbehavior, according to this week's guest, Laura Bellows, of JUL Designs.

140 Wednesday to Wednesday Jan 16, 2021

Show notes

Watching democracy almost die makes me cranky. There was a clear choice between donning the pants of crazy, OR hunkering down and making stuff. I chose the latter.
