A big thank you to everyone who has been in contact, and to everyone who helped get the show over the 100,000 download mark.
A very big thanks to Valerie of Valutree for the wonderful knitting bag she sent (details below), and to coldfriday for the yarn for Alice Starmore’s Henry VIII jumper which will be our companion throughout the series.

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.
