Show 12 – Who will buy…
In this week’s show we visit Heather from Braeside Alpacas and have a chat about what it’s like being a sheep and alpaca farmer in Australia. It’s full of useful tips, like how to stop your alpacas from rolling in the dirt when it’s time to shear them. There’s the usual knitting news, here’s the Saporro jumpers, and the link to Extreme knitting. Don’t miss the latest “It’s a purl man” episode with Stitchy McYarnPants and the knitting patterns.

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.
