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.

Aaaah! I’m sure *you* are organized enough to have all your Xmas knitting already planned and on the needles, Mr David, but some of us had a mini-panic attack when they realized you are right, and I need to get my pattern plans in order for the holidays! *huge grin*
Hello David, I can’t get the show to even show up in itunes, I must have clicked that refresh button over 15 times now, no luck. I did end up listening to the show via the direct link on this page- it is too good to wait! 🙂 Thanks again for a great show- I like the current series a lot!

I just found your podcast and your site.. IT’s incredible..What a joy to listen to as I sit and knit.
Thank you so much for producing such a great cast.
Just discovered your site via Ireland. Love that I can crochet whilst listening to your interesting program. So glad to hear you mentioning The IFF. At the moment I am working on a sculpture which will be part of the “Rubbish Vortex” exhibition in conjunction with the “Crochet Coral Reef” exhibition at the LACE Gallery in Los Angeles, Jan 2008.
I’ll be coming back soon to hear more. Thanks.
Cheers,
Helle

Hello David! I have been so inspired by your podcasts that I finally started my own blog as well. Who knows, I may even start riding the train to work. But I wouldn’t want you to think I’m imitating you or anything.
Cheers,
Roberta
David, I never miss a podcast. After being away from knitting for over 20 years, I enjoy so much the 21st century aids to the craft – podcasts, online shopping, online research, instructional videos via computer, blogs that detail the experiences of others, knitting reviews, etc. And of all the podcasts I have heard, I appreciate most the methodical, measured approach you employ. I appreciate your philosophical outlook which includes, among other things, the feeling that we are enriched by the learning experience and we can share our knowledge with the community – which, in a global economy and age of technology, can span the entire world!
Thanks for the effort you put into your podcasts. It is much appreciated.

Thanks for the thoughtful essay this week David. It really got me thinking, so much so, it inspired my own blog post this week. See, you really do reach out around the world!
