Show 35 – Show me
A terrific interview this show with Margaret Stove from New Zealand about her adventures in lace knitting, and how to design lace yourself.
Purchasing the book is complex, if you’re in Australia, you can get it from Ashford’s distributor here or if you’re anywhere else, you can contact Artisan Lace in New Zealand.
This show’s music is by the Manor House String Quartet and is their new recording of Sheep May Safely Graze by J.S. Bach which they did specially for the show – thanks so much.
The new knitting podcast Sweaters for Dragons is available on iTunes, or here.

Thanks once more to Michelle Griffin for the wonderful theme music. This week, given the cashmere yarn that turns up in the interview, it’s particularly apt.

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.
