This week, I called time out, and used my time out to remove seven projects from time out and complete them all. Worth it, but kinda not worth it, if you know what I mean.

165 Time out

Cast On began on Monday, 31 October, 2005, founded on nothing more than the desire to talk about knitting to people who get it. All the other stuff, about how memories, thoughts, hopes and dreams are knit into the fabric we create, and so become part of the fabric of our lives; about how life and knitting intertwine, and how sometimes you simply cannot tell where one part leaves off the other begins; about how the only thing wrong with the world today is that there is not enough knitting in it, all that came later, over time. Since 2005 the podcast has evolved to focus on finding inspiration in the ordinary, using it to kick start the process of making stuff, and finding ways to carve out the creative time and space that allows you to work your ass off on the projects that matter most to you. Like knitting a sweater. Or saving the world.

Leisure

The weather. Men in shorts. The run down. Ta Da moments. And the moments just before a plan comes together.

Gradual Stiffening

In this episode: The party dress; picking up threads; a project round up; and the big idea, spoken aloud.

196 A wide variety of displacement activities

 IN THIS EPISODE: Stash enhancement; hat boxes of joy; the rug of sorrow; knitting memory lane, letting it go.   Repeat after me: It is okay to rest. 

195 You can't keep everything

Undone by Cosmo/Cosmo undone; colour blocking that didn’t; a summer romance; a bounty of beautiful sock yarn; packing projects for a journey with no end date; and the view from Stone Cottage.

194 What I did last summer

I have more projects on the needles at one time than EVER BEFORE. Plus, we're buying a cottage!
