A Dorky Emu | Episode 7

Hi everyone :)

Episode 7 is live on youTube.

 

 

A Dorky Emu | Episode 6

Finally, I have uploaded episode 6 of the A Dorky Emu knitting podcast :)  The school holidays certainly stop me doing things like podcasts but I am back into a routine (just about) now :)

This episode contains some progress on my Stonecutter Sweater and lots of talk about sock knitting and yarn!

Enjoy.

A Dorky Emu | Episode 5

Hi

If you have subscribed to me on youTube you probably already know that this video has been uploaded.  Unfortunately, I was poorly for a few days following the upload and I haven't been able to get this blog post done.

I am feeling much better now, just a little tired still but Mark is home from working away tomorrow so I am definitely going to ignore any leftover virus-y things as much as I can :)

Here is episode 4 in which I talk about a useless jumper, some lovely socks and I may or may not be doing a little enabling at the end.

As always, show notes can be found underneath the video.  Please go across to youTube and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already (podcasters love that) and feel free to join the Ravelry group on, well, Ravelry - search for A Dorky Emu in the groups tab.

A Dorky Emu | Episode 3

Hi again :)

Here is episode 3 of the A Dorky Emu podcast.  It is slightly over two weeks since I last uploaded an episode because I was going to podcast last Friday and the world was against me!

Anyway, I finally managed to find time to show you some finishes and knitting progress as well as some new projects and  some exciting things that have popped through my front door.

Enjoy!

Shownotes are below the video.
