I’m so thrilled to report that as of today, I’ve had 2,500 hits on Examiner.com – knitters actually reading my articles – and 4,000 hits on my blog – that you are currently reading. It’s amazing to me that people search you out, happen upon you and actually follow the every day events in your life of knitting. Thank you to all that follow my writing on Examiner and follow my blog.
Two things I found this week that has turned out to be refreshing and lots of fun. One, Craftlit, a website that host free podcasts for crafters who love to read and second, Cast On, a website dedicated to knitters that provides information via podcasts.
It has been fun listening to audio books with a great narration by Heather Ordover of Craftlit. Listening to the Scartlett Letter has been very refreshing and now I want to actually sit down and read the book.
Cast On is a bi-monthly audio program about knitting, and life. The companion website is updated weekly.
“Cast On was founded on a firm belief that our memories, thoughts, hopes and dreams are knit into the fabric we create, and so become part of the fabric of our lives. Just as each knitted piece has its own story to tell, so too do their makers. Since 2005 we have enlisted some of the world’s best knitters and writers to bring those stories to you. Packed with a rich assortment of features, together the Cast On website and podcast represent the paradigm-shifting notion that knitting matters.” ~ from the Cast-On website. This says it all and I love their site.
Pick up your needles, your yarn and relax to a podcast. Happy knitting!
