Stop the presses!
Just popping up to gleefully announce some changes to the podcast lounge programme that are so exciting.
On Saturday morning Karie Westermann is going to have a pop up stall right next to the lounge, in the Baron at the corn exchange. She’ll be there from 10-12.30 with patterns and samples of her designs for you to delight at.
On Sunday morning, in addition to our interview at 11am, she is going to be in the podcast lounge with a trunk show. I am really looking forward to have Karie in the lounge and this will be a lovely opportunity to see her designs up close and shmooze with the lovely lady herself.
On Sunday afternoon, from 3pm Felix Ford will be here to record your favourite knitting objects and memories…and from 4pm I will be joining her with my wool tasting session – and you know that Felix will want to get all our squishing on tape.
Don’t forget about the podcaster meet up and q&a session both days from 12.30.
