Too much laughing!! 🙂 What a fun day, you are the best.
No, you are the best! thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
Oh My …. I need to have your laugh as a ringtone!
I’m listening to the Knitting Yarns book. I like audio books since I can knit or do other stuff. Can you knit without looking? That is my goal!
I’m enjoying the book, but I didn’t know it even had knitting patterns. Well, I won’t get them with the audio book 🙁 oh well!
Yes, I can knit stocking without looking (did a good bit of a jumper in the cinema once) I like audio books too. Currently listening to After You’re Gone by Maggie O Farrell. Story is Tough at times but beautifully written.
Loved listening to this episode! So cheery and I loved your laugh and the atmospheric noises. 😀
This was the first KnitBritish podcast and really enjoyed all the different topics. I really must get up to Edinburgh next year and check out some of these shops! The book also sounds really interesting and one to seek out at my library.
Hi Isla, glad you enjoyed ep5 and hope you like the others too. Yes, seek out the book, it’s lovely!
