MagiKnits Podcast Episode #1 A Very Bad Beginning
Okay, so I finally started a podcast for my wee little thing I've got going here. It'll be available on iTunes here shortly, I'm not sure how long that'll take. Probably just a day or so. But I'll have it on here as well. This first episode was not as great as I'd have liked it to be, but at 10.30 at night with a headache caused by a run-on with an angled ceiling, the future didn't look so bright. I talk about La Gran Mohair yarn, Lion Brand Magic Stripes, another Norwegian/german yarn, and Claudia handpainted yarn. I also talk about my various products available for sale on Etsy (magiknits.etsy.com) and the patterns I've designed and have available for download and purchase. I also talk about other sock knitting patterns and sock knitting addiction, which I'm proud to have and I'm so not looking for therapy. Haha. And although this run wasn't as great as I'd have liked, it can only mean one thing: next time I'm drinking coffee! Haha. No, it can only get better from here.
Happy Knitting!
