This week, Kate is chatting to one of our all-time favourites: designer, teacher and writer Karie Westermann. The pair nerd out about knitting maths, their favourite yarns and the power of craft in helping you find your people. It's never just about knitting.Find Karie all over the web as kariebookish instagram.com/crochetsociety/ www.crochetsociety.co.uk

How is the yarn world rising to the challenges of these interesting times? We chatted to Juliet Bernard of the UK Handknitting Association about what we can all do to help each other out. We also cover waddling penguins, the link between breadmaking and knitting, shopping our stashes and nerdy knitting.

It's a very weird time so thank goodness we have our yarn. The team has been split up this week as we're all working from home, but Jo and Kate managed to connect for a little chat about what's going on in the woolly world. We talk mental health, yarn stockpiling and WFH tips. Spoiler alert: Kate's main tip is "build a blanket fort". Stay safe out there, woolpackers! instagram.com/crochetsociety/ www.crochetsociety.co.uk

In this episode, our own Kate Heppell (editor of Knit Now magazine) chats with Kate Atherley (designer and author) about everything that goes in to creating knitting patterns.
