There’s no new Ready, Set, Knit this week, so check out the archives and listen to your favorite episode, or catch up on some you’ve missed. Not having a new podcast this week got me to thinking about the different things I like to do when I’m crafting. I watch TV, listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks, and sometimes I just like to enjoy the silence. I have a backlog of podcasts that I need to catch up on and a pile of audiobooks that are waiting to be listened to. I think this weekend will be a good time to slow the go-go-go that’s been happening, take a little time to craft, and catch up on listening.

What’s your favorite “noise” to listen to while knitting, crocheting, weaving, or spinning?

This week Kathy talks with Marly about her journey from learning how to crochet and knit to making a living as a knit/crochet wear designer. She launched the Yarn Thing podcast to help connect her to other knitters and crocheters.

Marly will be teaching here at WEBS on Feb 15th and 16th. You can take her Thrummed Mittens class, Knit or Crochet, or explore Colorwork Cables.
