Customer Reviews
Fascinating and informative
If you’re a yarn junkie like me, this podcast offers a glimpse into the past. How did our favorite knitting methods come about? Absolutely riveting
Sounded promising but nope!
If you’re going to do a historical yarn/knitting podcast, you really should know what you're talking about!! READ SOME BOOKS!!!
Yes, you are math people
Ladies, please, no self depreciation! Knitting is mostly math with a splattering of art. It’s full of patterns and algebra. You just have a different math sense because knitting, etc, has not been traditionally defined as math. All knitters- you are math people!
