No KnitCast this month.

Posted in Uncategorized on September 1st, 2010 by Marie Irshad – Be the first to comment

Sorry guys but what I was planning for this month’s edition hasn’t worked out so there will be no new KnitCast for September. I’ll be back in October.

In the meantime I will be running a competition on the website to make up for the lack of a podcast this month.

Keep checking here for more info.

And speaking of competitions – Thanks to everyone who entered the competition to win a copy of Gifted by Mags Kandis. I’ll be announcing the name of the winner in the October podcast :-)

Lucy Neatby interview update

Posted in Uncategorized on July 10th, 2010 by Marie Irshad – Be the first to comment

Hello all,

Some members of the Ravelry KnitCast group, and Lucy herself, told me that the interview cut off suddenly! I checked the file and the last few minutes had been cut off when it was turned into an mp3.

I’ve now re-exported the interview and uploaded it so you can hear those final minutes. You’ll need to redownload the interview in order to hear those extra minutes.

Sorry about the glitch!

As some of you have already noticed the link in the previous post didn’t lead to KnitCast 30 – Crafting Vacation at all but to the Lucinda Guy interview! The link in the podcast feed was fine but somehow I messed up with the one in the post. Sorry about that! It’s all fixed now :)

It took me a while to create the banner, or rather to find the time to create the banner!, but the KnitCast Ravelry group is now operational :)

So far it’s a bit lonely as I’m the only member – cue violins ;) – So I hope you’ll join me there and that the group will be another place where you can share your thoughts about the show with me.
