knitters

Hello lovelies,

Welcome to Episode 24 of the Get Knit Done podcast, another back-in-the-saddle episode!

I’m delighted to be back with you on the podcast.  In this episode, I talk about where I vanished off after June of last year including how I bit off way more than I could chew with the brioche cardigan and why, in the end, I have decided to completely change my business!

I also talk about what is coming up on the podcast over the next few weeks now that I am back to regularly scheduled listening!

It’s a bit of a rambling episode but do stay with me, I promise we will be back to knitting chat asap!

In next week’s episode, I am going to go into more detail about why I’m closing the Loveliest Yarn Company and what it means for the podcast and Knit School!

Take care lovelies, now go Get Knit Done!

Harriet Middleton, designer of the Harriet's Hat (and headband, fingerless gloves, gloves, mittens, and cowl!), sits down to talk to Anne about her knitting life before her fundraising for the Shetland MRI Scanner Appeal began, how the MRI Maakers started, the momentum behind her patterns, and the unintended good that has resulted from them.

Laura Zander is the co-owner of leading online yarn and fabric retailer Jimmy Beans Wool. Laura and her husband Doug quit their dot-com jobs in San Francisco and founded the company in Lake Tahoe, and it has been named one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the US. She has been invited to the White House for a forum addressing the American Jobs Act, where Jimmy Beans Wool was recognized as a notable Nevada business.

Julie Weisenberger is an internationally renowned knitwear designer and teacher known for her elegant, modern fashion sense and her unique commonsense method to knitting tailored, seamless sweaters that are as enjoyable to make as they are comfortable and flattering to wear.
