Show 4 – Knitting a community
Welcome to show 4, This show’s theme is ‘Knitting a community’.
The pumpkin hat I made this week was from Itty Bitty Hats
The yarn I used was the recommended Rowan cotton, and Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino.
The spinning shop is Petlin’s at Rhodes in Sydney.
And here’s the sock!
The essay is available here.

About Sticks & String and me
G’day all. I’m David Reidy, an Australian bloke who lives in the Blue Mountains two hours west of Sydney, and knits and podcasts about knitting. Away from the sticks and string, I’m an astrophysicist who now teaches high school. In my knitting and podcasting endeavours I am assisted by my two Burmese cats, Tikka and Tiger.
The Sticks and String podcast appears weekly, so look for a new show each weekend.
