Episode 27- Riding the New Sock Wave

Two fiber and craft obsessed individuals chat and explore what it means to live in a DIY Nation. We will explore what it means to be a knitter, crocheter, a crafter and explore the world of fiber and craft in our own little corner of the world in the Pacific Northwest.

To borrow from Natalie&#39;s blog, I am addicted to this podcast. Natalie and Rachel are fun, articulate, inspiring, real, and funny. I watch my iTunes closely for the next episode because I can&#39;t wait for the next episode. Keep it up, please.

Can't wait for the next episode

This is a great new podcast. Can&#39;t wait for more

This is a very delayed release of our podcast. We begin our pondering about Traditional Knitting at the Dublin Bay knitting store in the Pearl District, Portland, Oregon. We adjourned again to our "mobile" recording studio (my car) during the Craft Philosophy segment just because it became a bit boisterous in the shop :).  Thank you again to Dublin Bay for allowing us to record on the premises. Do check out their lovely collection of yarn, fiber, and knitting resources for the knitting Anglophile.
