Ep 031: More knickers than an Elvis concert!

Get Knit Done ·

2023/03/13

Hello lovelies, In this episode of the podcast I am talking about how we tend to elevate male knitters, designers and dyers over other knitters, designers and dyers and why we might want to rethink that. Yep, I decided to finish the podcast with a slightly controversial episode but who doesn't want to go out with a bang. And yes, it is the last episode of the podcast. You will be able to find me over in the Knit Matters Facebook Group and on the Knit School YouTube Channel. Thank you so much for

Ep 030: Should I turn my hobby into a business?

Get Knit Done ·

2023/03/07

Hello lovelies, In this week’s episode I’m talking about what to think about if you are thinking about turning your hobby into a business. Sometimes just because someone says you should, doesn’t mean you should! : ) Things to think about: 1. Why am I thinking about turning my hobby into a business? Is it because I have a burning desire to do so or because I feel obliged to? 2. Do I really want to run a business? Running a business and having a hobby are very separate things and it’s

2023/02/21

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 28 of the Get Knit Done podcast. After promising it for last week, this week I’m talking about how reading Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey to help tame my flibbertigibbet nature has helped me focus more on my knitting. In this episode I talk about the following areas from the book: 1. Switching off autopilot mode (I originally typed Swatching off there … honestly!) 2. The limits of your attention 3. The Power of Hyperfocus 4. Taming Distractions

2023/02/15

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 27 of the Get Knit Done podcast. A little change of plan this week! The original plan was to talk about how the book Hyperfocus has changed how I think about knitting but I didn’t quite get to the end of the book so I’m finally talking about 3 of the major factors in Knitting Pattern design. For me, the three key aspects of pattern design are: The Design Pattern Writing Marketing and Selling Visit the full show notes on the podcast page for full details (and to

Ep 026: Have you taken the Knit School Quiz?

Get Knit Done ·

2023/02/07

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 26 of the Get Knit Done podcast. This week I’m talking about the Knit School Quiz and the Wheel of Knitting. Part of me feels like I need to justify why I have done it because I am worried that people will want to know exactly who I think I am to do such a thing! The Knit School Quiz is my way of helping knitters work out where they are on their knitting journey and find out what exciting skills there are still to explore. One of the trickiest things about

2023/01/31

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 25 of the Get Knit Done podcast! Still not quite back to knitting chat but closing a knitting business is knitting adjacent so I’m going to go with it : ) There were a lot of factors that went into the decision to close the Loveliest Yarn Company but mostly it’s because I can’t do everything and nor do I want to. I also talk about how in time, I want to have a completely digital business that I can take home to Ireland with me and how teaching knitting is

Ep 023: 8 Harsh Truths about Knitting Pattern Design

Get Knit Done ·

2022/06/20

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 23 of the Get Knit Done podcast. As a pattern buyer and designer but also as someone who rambles through Knitting Twitter and other knitting communities on the internet, I think there are a few harsh (depending on your view of course and very kindly put I hope) truths that we need to talk about in relation to knitting pattern pricing and in this episode, I grasp that nettle! As always, if you don't agree with me, let's talk about it but let's be kind too

2022/06/06

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 21 of the Get Knit Done podcast. In this episode, I am talking about my choices for what I would like to be knitting at the moment if I could knit! I narrowed it down to cardigans because, as it turns out, I didn’t really feel like anything else. The episode takes a bit of a tour of my thought process in how I reached that conclusion and how I ended up choosing cardigans and then why I choose the 10 patterns that I did!

2022/05/30

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 20 of the podcast. This episode was originally going to be focused on what to do if you are learning to knit but evolved into what to do if you are teaching someone to knit! There isn't a huge difference really - whether you are teaching someone or being taught so all of the points are relevant! I've divided the 12 tips into practicalities and, I guess, 'being human' tips : ) List to the episode & visit the show notes for the full list:

Hello lovelies, Welcome to Episode 19 of the podcast. I wasn't really sure what to call this episode and I nearly went with 'Sometimes it's hard' but this is the internet and things get misunderstood enough! In this episode I talk about 7 (I think it kind of turned into 8!) times when a more difficult (at least in people's minds) option might be better than the easiest option! I talk about the following: Why sometimes a seam is necessary Grafting versus a three-needle cast-off The weaving

Hello lovelies, Welcome to the second return episode of 2022! I definitely meant to get straight home from my holiday with my family in March and get straight to podcasting but I have to admit I was quite lonesome for them and the mischief I had done my shoulder was giving me a run for my money! I'm back now though and you'll see that the podcast has a little bit of a facelift. It'll get an even greater facelift over the next wee while but first I wanted to get this page tidied up. In this

We have a lot of conventions that we learn over time that you could do with knowing at the start but that might also be too much. It’s a fine balance between too much and too little. In this episode I talk about just a few of the fun and interesting things in knitting that you might not always have been told or that completely perplex you including when you see cast-on and cast-off but have no idea which one to use and also how you shouldn’t yuck other people’s yums!
