Hello all. It’s not been a great month for me as you’ll know if you read my personal blog. And now I have chronic toothache! I have an infection in the root of one of my teeth which will be removed next week.
As a result I’m putting the podcast on hold for a month. So Knitcast will be back on December 1st. When I hope to be feeling a lot better!
Lee Meredith of Leethal Knits tells me about any gauge knits, why you should make a game of your knitting and trying to make a wedding dress over 24 hours.

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 
Mags Kandis tells me about her new book and why she loves making stuff, especially gifts that come from the heart.

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!
Lucy Neatby talks to me about colour, TNNA, knitting bubbles and teaching knitting over the ship’s radio while at sea.

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
Ever fancied going on holiday/vacation with other crafters? Knitter and travel agent Dianne Reade-Jackson tells me all about the Crafty Pod and Knitty “London, Bath and Wales” tour.
