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.

Sticks & String 
I enjoy using Knitminder, an ipod app that allows me to post the patterns I am using, the yarn in my stash and the projects I am working on. It’s easy to post progress notes and I do, often enough to see the complete history of a project. It;s easy to post pictures as I go. And I do use the counters. As I often have several copies of a pattern I am using, I go to my ipod for the actual row I’m supposed to be on. As my ipod touch is with me more than my computer, I update more frequently than I do on Ravelry.
The knitting app I use in my iPhone, KnitBuddy, has a very nice setting which makes it possible to disable auto lock. So the app is always on, whick makes using the counter features much nicer and useful.
I am from the US but will be flying to Guatemala on Knit In Public Day. I haven’t figured out yet if I’ll be able to take my knitting…but if so, I’ll be knitting in Guatemala!
Good morning!
Just a quick note to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed listening to your podcasts. I’m down to one “old” podcast – and then I’ll have listened to the entire lot! What a journey!!
I especially enjoy the ones pertaining to the Easter Show. We have nothing remotely similar to this event here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Love Sally’s reviews. So glad she’s recovering and doing better!
Love hearing the cats in the background…
Especially enjoy the musical selections. I do love Valvaldi!!
Thanks for a wonderful podcast!

Love your podcast. You talked about knitting patterns and the iphone/ipad. With the new bookshelf app, you can email yourself patterns in pdf format and save them to your bookshelf and open them like a book.The app is free and so is the Winnie the pooh book. The app runs in full color, unlike the grayscale from kindle.
