Show 32 – But is it Art?
This week we catch up with the famous Scout of Scout’s Swag. For a wonderful interview about dyeing and her work. It’s lots of fun.
For some reason I can’t get WordPress to upload the new photo of the Henry VIII jumper, but if you go to the Flickr photos below, it’s in there (it’s also in my Ravelry projects).

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.

Nice show. I was interested to hear how Scout dyed her yarn, I have done some dyeing beforebut only fabric, never yarn! I am saving up for one of her knitting bags!
I’m always glad to hear you back after each break, and it’s great to see the progress on Henry. It’s a gorgeous sweater and I’m now tempted to add a good fair-isle to my queue.
Looking forward to the creativity series – such a great theme!
Thanks –

Oh I can’t wait to hear it! I just got back from vacation so it looks like I have some catching up to do!
Hi David,
Really enjoyed the interview with Scout — particularly since I’d spent the day at a dyeing seminar! I didn’t think I could ever dye my own, but it’s so muich fun it’s addictive!
Thanks!
Hello David
Henry VIII is marvolous! The colors are royal and rich, they suit the project. Your podcast rounds out my weekend nicely. Thanks for all the work you put into your production. You can tell that you enjoy putting it out for us!

Love your podcast. Thanks for making this world so much more interesting.
See you on Ravelry!
[…] I’m so lucky to know her, even though we’ve yet to meet in person. Did you hear her on Sticks and String? She mentions on her blog that she also just recorded an interview with another popular podcast […]

After your comments on the VK, I checked the price on mine: CAD 8.50, which I think is just 50 cents more than usual. However, I used to mail copies to a friend in Europe, which cost a bomb, so shipping is also an issue. She has subscribed, which is cheaper…especially for me!
I always enjoy your podcast–you have excellent interview technique!
On the topic of knitting and art and is it art? I thought you might enjoy some knitting that definitely is art. Hope this link works. Suzen is very cool and her approach to knitting and art is unique.
I guess the link didn’t work. It’s Suzen Green and her blog is “On Gauge” The project is called Yarnover.
