Listening and Watching

I am reposting here a couple of topics that I posted on the Prairie Knit Wits Group on Ravelry.  Some of the Knit Wits were wondering about podcasts and video casts to watch and I started a thread there, but thought I'd post here as well.  This is not all of the ones I listen and watch to, but the top ones.

Hope you are having a great weekend!!

I never listen to the radio in the car anymore, I always have a podcast, mostly knitting that I am listening to.

Here is my list that I listen to through the Podcast App on my iPhone in no particular order. What do you listen to?

The Yarniacs Podcast -- Love the sweaters they are knitting and stalking

NH Knits -- love the wooly yarns and the chickens in the background

Curious Handmade -- Helen Stewart

Knitmoregirl’s Podcast -- I’ve been listening to them for several years, some great tips

Prairie Girls Knit & Spin -- because they attend some of the same Retreats I go to

2 Knit Lit Chicks -- I get great book recommendations from them and knitting

Woolful -- I love her fiber and knitting journey, if only I was 30 years younger

TwinSet Designs -- pretty spotty podcasting lately, but they are leading super busy lives, but when they do podcast I love listening to them

Knitcircus Podcast -- because I see Amy a couple of times a year and I love the yarn!

Knitting Pipeline - Paula

In a sKnit -- Kristy used to have a video cast and has converted to a podcast, I have not listened yet, but on my list for next week

Wrapped in Wool -- because I met her in Rochester last year

I watch a lot of You Tube Channels all related to knitting. It started a year ago when I was off 10 weeks with foot surgery. I lost my knitting mojo, but desperately craved knitting contact. You Tube Knitting Channels kept me company during the days while I sat with my foot up. Now, mostly on the weekends and at least one or two nights during the week, I’ll turn on one and catch up. There are very few t.v. shows that I actually watch, now that baseball is over. It is like having my knitting peeps with me, I can knit with them and they have turned me onto some great yarns and patterns!!

Who do you watch?

I’ll post more down the road. As I was making my list, I realized there are a lot of knitting video casts I watch periodically, but here is a good start, all can be found through You Tube:

Kristy Glass Knits - LOVE the interviews she does

Espace Tricot - Great shopping and yes, I have ordered from them based on what they show, absolutely want to go there someday!

Fruity Knitting - Oh the color work!!

Yarn Pimp - seriously, if this shop wasn’t in New Jersey, I’d be there - the Indie yarns she has

Grocery Girls Knit - You have to watch them!! But be prepared to spend some money, they are enablers!!!

The Yarn Hoarder - She is semi-local and I see her at events

The Gentle Knitter - soft spoken but love her knitting esthetic

Knotty Knit Wits - They are a hoot!!

Stockinette Zombies - I attend their retreat in Rochester

Dramatic Knits - They are local and I love Leading Men yarn!!

LegacyKnitz - Mother/Daughter team and they started dyeing yarn about a year ago
