Episode 26 The Interconnectedness of Everything Knitting, Crochet, Craft Socialism and Free Love

...in which I discuss mostly knitting with a bit of crochet, craft socialism, personal ethics, revolutions and fashions in activism, ADHD and some free love thrown in for good measure. I present the recording of a speech at the Knitting and Crochet Guild of Great Britain AGM dinner, and I also talk about the workshops I attended – garter stitch intarsia (tangled web pic to the left), knitting with wire and filet crochet (links go to more information about these crafts if you’re interested). My current projects are mainly spinning and knitting the ‘first spawn’ into frisky blankets. Go to http://www.castingpods.co.uk/ for more info and pics. Music credits: intro and outro are Aran playing the piano, a piece he improvised at age 10, and the ‘knit purl’ chorus is an extract from Barbara Brousal’s Leroy’s Sweater – heard on Cast On episode 99.
