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.

David,
I really enjoyed listening to your podcast today. I got a kick out of your monologue on knitting being trendy especially since I hear from some family and friends that I am going through a “knitting phase” (I think they just secretly hope I’ll stop talking about yarn!)
Keep up the good work. I’m farmgirl27 on Rav.
Best,Jenn
Just want to thank-you for the reviews of the Rowan yarns
Rowan had been added to my don’t buy list along with Reynolds/JCA, Mountain Colors and Tahki
It is really getting ridiculous the number of balls/skeins of yarn that have knots in them – something that use to be a rarity is now commonplace
Oh well, apparently the current yarn frenzy ensures that every ball of yarn will be sold no matter the lack of quality control
Love the podcast – i’m always behind in my listening since i do subscribe to so many
