Pomcast! A knitting podcast from Pom Pom Publishing

For this ‘knitchat episode’ Sophie regales Lydia with the epic tales of her Ebay tapestry frame adventures and Lydia is at the final stages of her house move! If you need to be inspired to move some furniture around here is Lydia’s song of the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-QDjghO4C8

We’re talking about our exciting book projects for next year! Coming in 2022 is our baby and kids pattern book Minipom, which will feature scaled down versions of some classic Pom Pom designs and new patterns too. We’re also working with sock aficionado Rachel Coopey on a sock book (surprise!) which will be akin to Ready Set Raglan!

On the horizon as well is our Spring Issue 40, which is inspired by ‘dreamworlds’ and features lots of dreamy and ethereal designs. The pals also discuss what they're enjoying and watching at the moment!

Hi Pomcats! This episode we’re joined by the delightful designing duo Joji Locatelli and Veera Välimäki and talking about their upcoming release Interpretations Volume 8!

For this global recording Joji and Veera join us from Argentina and Finland to tell us more about Volume 8. This pair have been working together for years on this collaborative project where they each create a design from a selection of words, resulting in a collection of 12 beautiful designs. Joji and Veera chat about working long distance and what that is like during a pandemic, their stunning photoshoots, and the secret of how they keep each other motivated.

Interpretations Volume 8 launches on 7th December, when you’ll also be able to see all the beautiful patterns in full. Click here to pre-order from our website.

Episode 68 – Sam Topley

Hi Pomcasts, welcome to the penultimate episode of the year! We’re delighted to be joined by guest interviewer Belinda Johnson, a fellow member of the Pom Pom team who had a chat with sound artist Sam Topley.

Before we got to the interview, it was only right that we had a chat with Belinda and introduced her to you lovely listeners. As well as finding out a little more about her role at Pom Pom and her journey through the world of knitting, Belinda mused on the patterns that are currently gracing her needles. These included the currently hibernating Eirys from Ready Set Raglan (just awaiting that final ball of De Rerum Natura Gilliatt!), plus Grainne, which is also from Ready Set Raglan, the delightfully named ‘project cookie monster’! Belinda also lamented the currently frogged Trembita mittens she was working on, but confirms that the pattern is so easy that she’ll be restarting these very soon.

It was music to our ears to find out that Sam Topley was going to be a guest on the pomcast! Sam is a sound artist and researcher working with textiles to create handmade electronic musical instruments and interactive sound art work. Her collaborative projects explore ideas in craftivism, using DIY fibre crafting to engage new audiences with experimental music making. Thanks Sam!
