A podcast about materials, the making instinct and a craft-full life

    Episode 33: Still making & musing

    Episode 33: Still making & musing

    In Episode 33 I return after a long break. I talk about some of the reasons I've "been away" and touch upon some unexpected twists, turns and materials that have been keeping me busy. I also delve into a couple of practical projects I've recently been working on: a capacious handbag and a garden project.

    Episode 32: Tending

    Episode 32: Tending

    In Episode 32 I mull over some of the blockages involved in re-fitting garments, review how a wool suitable for lightweight garments is wearing and talk about an outsourced repair which brought me a disproportionate degree of delight.
    I also get excited about some wriggly helpers I welcomed into our household to help tend our soil and share how I made some antihistamine salve sticks from a common 'weed'.

    Episode 31: Big projects & in-between making

    In Episode 31 I share a couple of big projects that have been keeping me busy: a winter coat and a job in the garden. I also talk about a handful of in-between makes, from ones relying on tried and tested patterns, materials and techniques to a new kind of tool making.

    Episode 30: A review & looking forward

    In Episode 30 I pop in for a bit of a chat about the year. I review some of the themes in my knitting and sewing this year and ponder what 2022 may hold in. I also reflect on some of the things have not gone so well and how I've been getting proactive to mitigate some challenges.

    Episode 29: Of time, technology and risk

    Episode 29 features a distinctly unglamorous making project, using a knitting pattern as a blueprint and employing some old-school technology on an unplanned, urgent sewing project.

One of my favorites

I love this wonderful, peaceful, intelligent podcast. The strong focus on making (mostly knitting and sewing) with natural, sustainable, local materials is unique, and it’s a joy to listen to—great sound quality, and what a lovely voice! This podcast is like sitting down with a hot cup of coffee or tea, and chatting with an old friend. Thank you, Mrs M!!!

Easy listening and a wool lifestyle inspiration

This podcast is a pleasurable mix of connection time with the hostess and her projects, plus a not-at-all “preachy” discussion of very relevant topics. I love the sound of your voice and the polished way you assemble your topic discussions. Big fan!
