In Podcasters We Trust

Stephanie and Lakshmi run a lovely video podcast called Intertwined Stitches. They, like me, are new to the podcasting game, so please go check them out and support them!


Chrissy is a British pattern designer, blogger and now podcaster! She runs a high quality audio podcast called Stitched Together's Podcast. You'll learn so much from listening, and she'll also get you addicted to new crafts if you're not careful ;D

Steph and Stacie run an awesome video podcast called Must Stash Podcast. These guys will not only get you excited about crafts, but they also hold knit-a-longs and give-aways every week. I know you'll love these girlies as much as I do!

If you have a podcast you'd like to recommend to me (especially if it is your own, I'd love to support you!) please let me know in the ravelry thread over at my group, or, you can email me on anaccidentalknitter@gmail.com
