NH Knits Ep 067 - Birlinn Yarn Co, Outer Hebrides, Scotland Sep 23, 2017

Show notes

This episode features a chat with Meg Rodger of Birlinn Yarn Co. The name, Birlinn, comes from the short Viking boats that were used to navigate the islands around which Meg lives and crofts. She raises Hebridean sheep and is making devine yarn from their fleeces. Come listen to what life is like on the Outer Hebrideas!

Thanks for listening!

NH Knits Ep 064 - Catalog of Folly May 31, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode 64 where I discuss recent slip ups caused by basically not thinking and being a bit cavalier about my knitting. I have a realization that I might be becoming a bit of a product-knitter-monster, all this while I talk about my one Finished Object and several WIPS. There's a coop cast update, a prize announcement for reaching 1000 members on Ravelry (yay!) and of course a Woolly Thistle update. Thanks to lochnessknitfest.com for sponsoring this episode of NH Knits. Enjoy!

NH Knits Ep 063 - Goodbye Tom May 11, 2017

NH Knits Ep 062 - NH Sheep and Wool coming soon! Apr 27, 2017

Show notes

Hello friends, this week the podcast is full of information about NH Sheep & Wool and the podcaster meet up. Also there's a lot of chat about what's on the needles, not so much about what's off the needles. There's a tense Coop Cast and a visit to the Piggly Wigglies. There's lots more blether besides. Time to put the kettle on and get your project du jour, put your feet up and visit with me. Enjoy!
