On today’s show Mandy Moore and Leanne Praine talk about there newly released book Yarn Bombing. It’s a guide to kntting graffiti and the very public world of knitting.
This show is chock full of interviews from the Summer TNNA 2009. If that isn’t enough, check out the live feed post here.
Many thanks to Buffalo Gold for taking me in and letting me go to the show.
the TNNA show will be up By tommorrow night… technical difficulties… :P sorry for the delay
On todays episode My friend Deb reviews Pet Projects and Kristin Nicholas talks about some fun going ons at her farm. I also play a promo for a fun new podcast called Kiping it real.
In this Episode my friend Jen shares some insite into the Design Copyright discussion. Jen also posted more about it here.
I would love to hear you thoughts on this issue.
Sadly, this show is very short. I am having a hard time finding my voice as I switch from an older computer setup to a new one. Still trying to get comfortable with new computer/mic. I think I will be back in full swing again by the end of the summer.
ADDED:
Oh yeah… I have started to play promos for other knitting podcasts again. This week I played one for KnitScape.
I went to TNNA and all I brought you back is this lousy post… OK, this post and and two podcasts. Todays show is a quick overview of my weekend… secrets revealed…
First, all the time below is GMT, so please subtract 4 hours for the real time.
I put all the pieces together into chronological order and have added names and links so that you can find out more about the great people and things I found on the TNNA floor.
