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.

Hi, David! I happened to find that the “Spotswood” movie was released in the US under the name “The Efficiency Expert” in case anyone over here is interested in viewing it. I love your podcast!
Hi David –
Sticks & String remains one of my favorite podcasts. Thanks for the commitment to keeping it going and the consistency of it!!
If you haven’t located the Addi Cro-hook (or whatever it’s called). My LYS has it – the only size they have is US sz 3 needle on one end and a C hook on the other. They had 32″ – I didn’t check to see if there were other lengths. I’d be happy to pick one up for you and ship it.
In fact, if there are any non-Australian-shipping-companies that you’d like to order from, I’d be happy to send you my address and then send them on to you. I have no idea what shipping costs would be, but I can ship DHL at a reduced rate thru my company.
