I hope you enjoy the crochet bag podcast… Have a happy week! Kathryn xxx
Really liked this episode. So much information although I cannot recall the yarn you used for your Kinus shawl. Was it stylecraft. I am new to crochet although have the yarn ready for a ripple blanket. Big project to start with. Thank you agsin
Hi Anne – its the Linus Shawl and it was Stylecraft Special Effects DK in Foxtrot xxx
Hi Kathryn, have u tried Betsy makes podcast? She has a blog too, crochet, knitting and sewing 🙂 another lovely podcast this week I’m off to try some of your recommendations x
Great podcast! I watch most of the podcasts you mentioned and love them, but one of my absolute knitting favourites is by Katie from Inside Number 23. She is great fun and well worth a watch! Also good are Sticks and Twine (Knitting) and LegacyKnitz (Knitting). LegacyKnitz is a mother/daughter duo and is an absolute riot! I don’t know of any other crochet podcasts at the moment, but am always on the lookout. I have found some brilliant UK based yarn dyers through watching the knitting podcasts, of which my favourites at the moment are Kate Selene, Wool Barn and Rosies Moments. I received a mystery yarn box this morning from Rosies Moments (a naughty gift to myself!), which had a Peter Rabbit theme and it was just glorious.
