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 – Just wondering if you will be compiling a complete list of all the books you have reviewed – or is it here somewhere & I’m just not finding it? I enjoy your podcast – thanks!
Just started listening from #1. So I do not know if you’ve seen “Knitting with Balls” which is a great mens knitting book. I also have a handful of ‘naughty knitting’ type books that my wife got for me to make stuff for her.
I’ll probably be caught up in a few weeks.
Thanks
Jeff
David,
I enjoy your podcast very much. I just discovered the world of podcasts a few months ago so I am only up to about show 34. How do I find the show notes for the early shows. I can’t seem to find them on the site. Help Judy
Hi David,
I’m a listener from Wisconsin in the US. I really do enjoy your show. Everything from your format and content to your audio quality is first rate. Awhile back you mentioned a series of science fiction books, a very long (maybe 12 volume) series. Since I mostly listen in the car, I didn’t jot it down and of course now I couldn’t remember it to save my life. I’ve even stood in the book store hoping for a flash of insight. I don’t suppose you’d mind mentioning it again?
Glad to have you back; hope you had great holidays.
Thanks,
Gwenn
I enjoy your podcasts and find all the unrealated things you discuss most interesting. Several podcasts back, you mentioned that you were excited to learn that Robert Jordan’s WOT series would be completed by Brandon Sanderson, who happens to be my nephew. It now looks like the one book to complete the series has turned into three. They’ll likely be published in 11/2009, 11/2010 and 11/2011. He explains all of this in a recent blog entry.
