Jennifer Raymond of Tinking Turtle

October 6, 2015 By admin 29 Comments

Jennifer Raymond of Tinking Turtle was the guest on Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird.

Jennifer Raymond profile pic
Jennifer says she learned to crochet when very young, taught by a helpful occasional caregiver. She says she immediately began to challenge the granny squares she started with ‘What if's'. She did learn to knit, but was discouraged with dropped stitches and not realizing knitting was harder because it required practice time also. She says she continued to crochet and in College, she credits a yarn store across the street from the campus as helping her get through it. Wanting to knit socks after finding it very difficult to mend crocheted socks, she seems to have become more bi-crafty at that point. [Read more…]

New Custom Socks Book by Kate Atherley

September 24, 2015 By admin 39 Comments

NEW Custom Socks, book by Kate Atherley was our HOT TOPIC on today's Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird. Did I just hear you say ‘Sock it to me!'? OK, let's go!

Kate Atherly profileThis was Kate's first visit to the Yarn Thing podcast, which seems incredible until you think about how busy she's been. She doesn't remember a time that she did not know how to knit. Grandmother was a ‘hard-core' crafter, who included Kate in the process of the sweaters made for her, as the fascination of that process gave her a life-long love.  As an adult after moving to Toronto, she resided in the neighborhood of Romney Wools, which she describes as ‘sucking her back into knitting'. She says as an adult, for the longest time she she was stuck in one cast-on and one bind-off, but loves that the internet and podcast have inspired her to increase her skill level.  [Read more…]
