Cast On

Brenda Dayne

Cast On began on Monday, 31 October, 2005, founded on nothing more than the desire to talk about knitting to people who get it. Since then, the podcast has evolved to focus on finding inspiration in the ordinary, using it to kick start the process of making stuff, and finding ways to carve out the creative time and space that allows you to work your ass off on the projects that matter most to you. Like knitting a sweater. Or saving the world.

    House projects have broken me; the summer of socks continues; the red that bled; Tour de Fleece; and a return to Clifford Byway.

    197 Gradual Stiffening

    The weather. Men in shorts. The run down. Ta Da moments. And the moments just before a plan comes together.

    195 You can't keep everything

    IN THIS EPISODE: Stash enhancement; hat boxes of joy; the rug of sorrow; knitting memory lane, letting it go. Repeat after me: It is okay to rest.

    194 What I did last summer

    Undone by Cosmo/Cosmo undone; colour blocking that didn’t; a summer romance; a bounty of beautiful sock yarn; packing projects for a journey with no end date; and the view from Stone Cottage.

    193 The waiting phase

    I have more projects on the needles at one time than EVER BEFORE. Plus, we're buying a cottage!
