S3 E10: Creativity, Colourwork and 144 Squares with Annah O'Leary
What would you do if you were feeling anxious and needed a small, manageable project? If you're Annah O'Leary, apparently the answer is to design an enormous blanket made from 144 colourwork squares. Even though you've never finished a colourwork project before! Annah is the designer behind Needle & Feather and author of Knit an Heirloom Blanket. In this episode, we talk about how her extraordinary blanket began as a way of finding small moments of achievement, and how it grew into someth...

S3 E9 What Knitting Patterns Can’t Teach You with Patty Lyons
What can a knitting pattern teach you, and what can only be learned by understanding your own knitting? Patty Lyons joins me for a frank, funny and thought-provoking conversation about the skills that exist beyond the written instructions. Modern patterns can help knitters tackle projects that might once have felt impossible. But when every technique and decision is explained for us, do we lose some of the curiosity, experimentation and problem-solving that make us more capable knitters? Patt...

S3 E8: It’s Not Brain Surgery, with Charlotte Stone
This week, I’m joined by Charlotte Stone, better known as StoneKnits, the designer and author whose wonderfully playful colourwork socks have become instantly recognisable. Charlotte didn’t set out with a strategy to become “the sock designer”. She simply kept knitting the things she loved, sharing them online and responding when people asked for the patterns. Then her toadstool socks took off, a Bernie Sanders-inspired pattern reached the top of Ravelry and a publisher came calling. We talk ...

S3 E7: A Blind Date with Your Yarn, with Melanie Berg
This week, I’m joined by Melanie Berg, the knitwear designer behind Mairlynd. I first met Melanie when I accidentally attended one of her shawl-design classes entirely in German. Thanks to Google Translate, I managed to follow the class and came away inspired to create my Tide Path shawl. In this conversation, we explore the relationship between creativity and practicality. Melanie talks about knowing when a design has become too complicated, the difference between designing and writing a usa...

S3 E6 You Are My People | Irina Shaar of Fiber Chats on Knitting and Community
In this episode, I’m joined by Irina Shaar, the creator and host of Fiber Chats. We talk about why she started interviewing people from across the fibre world, what she has learned from those conversations, and the moments that have stayed with her. From finding “your people” at Rhinebeck to knitting through COVID and the way craft connects generations, this becomes a much wider conversation about what knitting gives us. We also talk honestly about social media, going viral, creative confiden...

S3 E5 Chantal Miyagishima on Knitatude, Size Inclusivity and Building a Knitting Business
Chantal Miyagishima is the designer and creative force behind Knitatude, one of the most recognisable brands in modern knitting. We talk about how she went from selling handmade scarves at markets to building a pattern business, writing Sweater Success and creating a community of more than 250 knitters. Chantal explains what really goes into grading garments across a wide range of sizes, what she has learned from ten years of pattern testing, and why inclusive design is much more complicated ...

S3 E4 Aleks Byrd on Estonian Knitting, Heritage, and Teaching the World
In this episode of Yarn Library, I’m joined by Aleks Byrd, a designer, teacher and author known for her work with traditional Estonian knitting techniques. Aleks taught me Estonian inlay a few years ago in New York, and I later used that technique on my heavy metal jumper, so this was a particularly lovely conversation to have. We talk about what it’s like to teach knitters all over the world, from adapting Estonian braids for Portuguese style knitters to preparing for a packed teaching tour ...

S3 E3: Xandy Peters on Design, Rage Bait and Everything Else
In this episode of Yarn Library, I’m joined by the brilliant Xandy Peters for a properly thought-provoking conversation about knitting, creativity, originality, and what it really means to design something new. We talk about rage bait in the knitting world, why social media rewards negative hooks, and how that shapes the way craft is talked about online. Xandy also explains the magic of stacked stitches, the design thinking behind Fox Paws, and why mistakes in knitting are sometimes just dis...
