  • Tiresome

    I tried it, I really did but wanging on about how fabulous superwash yarn is for an entire episode to justify the tasteless tatt the male host produces is too much. The female (she’s neurodivergent you know….and she’s doing a phd) attempts to challenge him but rolls over and agrees in a faux intelligent manner. There are better podcasts out there, these two are not as good as they think they are. Update: And now we’re one, and we’re describing ourself as a ‘knitting influencer’. Be assured the c... more

  • Love meeting new designers

    I enjoyed when it was Adam and Georgia but I have to say I like it even more in the new style with Adam and guest. The conversations are cozy and the designers are all new to me (I don’t really do social media) so I look them up and have found so many beautiful patterns and I enjoy hearing their perspectives. I do hope Georgia will pop in when she’s able to.

    Thank you both for your excellent podcast, and also for your great Insta account Adam. As a guy who has only been knitting for about a year, your posts really help and inspire me. And listening to Yarn Library podcast is a real treat.
