Episode 1 - Just do it!

I have been wanting to do a podcast for quite some time and well, I finally just did it! I'm nervous about how it will be received but, if it gets really negative reviews ... it will just pod-fade - no biggie!

Here is a direct link to listen to the show

So here are the shownotes for this episode :
On the needles -
Tempest by Ann Weaver, a free pattern from Knitty
made with rapture
from squoosh fiber arts that i ordered from eat.sleep.knit
Vellamo by
Taina Anttila made with knit picks' stroll tweed and essential kettle died yarns in masala tweed and gold.
Patches baby sweater
made out of knitfitknitting's calypso 100% superwash merino in the colorway peace and love.


On my wheel - some merino tenecel from http://www.etsy.com/shop/Spincerely

I mention the liverpool top and a figure 8 cast-on tutorial

I hope you enjoy this first episode and would love to hear from you!

Hi Rebecca! I came across your podcast on the Knitting Podcast website and congrats on your first episode. You have a good voice for audio and I love hearing about France (never been there). Are there a lot of yarn stores there and what kinds of yarns do they carry? I would love to see pics of your projects esp the Tempest cardi. Speaking of audio, the volume sometimes fades then suddenly gets louder, maybe when you get closer or farther from the mic? Looking forward to the second one. Vicki (suanknits on Ravelry).

You did a great job on your first podcast! I've been considering doing a podcast for some time now, so kudos to you for workin' up the nerve to put yourself out there. I was captivated throughout the whole show and I'm looking forward to many more!

Picture of France and pictures of the tempest cardi, please?!

You can find me on Ravelry - knittingnlalaland < works for plurk too.

Ciao for now!

Congratulations on your first episode. I found you via the knitting podcast list and I too love listening to The Knitmores. I have to say I really enjoyed your first episode and you spoke really well. I think it helps when you have a nice voice to listen too as well. Looking forward to episode 2.

Welcome Vicki!
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for taking th etime to leave some input. I think you hit the nail right on the head - i'm probably moving close to and away from the microphone while recording - i'll try to watch out for that in the future. thank you for not holding it against me and realizing that this too is a WIP ;)!
I also love the suggestion about talking about the LYS here in france - i'll talk about my lys's in the next episode.
you can see my WIPS on my project page but just be forewarned : i'm a very poor photographer ;)
