Welcome to the new season of Tea &amp; Tattle! This week on the podcast, I’m joined by the writer and knitter, Esther Rutter, to talk about Esther’s first book: This Golden Fleece: A Journey Through Britain’s Knitted History, which saw Esther travelling across Britain from Shetland to the Channel Islands, in search of the stories behind Britain’s long history of wool and knitting.To complete her book, Esther took a year off work to travel, knit and research, and in ‘This Golden Fleece,’ she spins a fascinating tale of her own personal journey as a knitter, as she takes on a fresh knitting project each month, as well as the stories she unearths of knitting traditions that have been passed down throughout the centuries.Today on the podcast, Esther tells me about what inspired her project, how knitting your own clothes can be a powerful political act, how women have plied their needles to aid change in the world, and what are some of her favourite British yarn companies. This is a brilliant episode for anyone interested in knitting and is a perfect, cosy listen for the colder months ahead.Read the show notes: teaandtattlepodcast.com/home/119Get in touch!Email: teaandtattlepodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @teaandtattlepodcastIf you enjoy Tea &amp; Tattle, please do rate and leave a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, as good reviews help other people to find and enjoy the show.
