Cast OnI have been writing words and putting them online for 196 dog years. I have been making clothes for even longer. Author: Brenda Dayne
Cast On began on Monday, 31 October, 2005, founded on nothing more than the desire to talk about knitting to people who get it. Since then, 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. brendadayne.substack.com Language: en Genres: Crafts, Leisure, Personal Journals, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
