This episode features a chat with Meg Rodger of Birlinn Yarn Co. The name, Birlinn, comes from the short Viking boats that were used to navigate the islands around which Meg lives and crofts. She raises Hebridean sheep and is making devine yarn from their fleeces. Come listen to what life is like on the Outer Hebrideas!
Thanks for listening!

Hello there, and welcome to another episode of NH Knits where we have an FO, wips and winners! Thanks to everyone who took part in the #rustyKAL which finished 6/15. Winners are announced and many thanks to those who donated prizes including @sarapomegranate @bostonjen @arabianknits @craftbuzz and The Woolly Thistle. There's a coop cast and piggies and of course a Woolly Thistle update. Thanks for listening!
Welcome to episode 64 where I discuss recent slip ups caused by basically not thinking and being a bit cavalier about my knitting. I have a realization that I might be becoming a bit of a product-knitter-monster, all this while I talk about my one Finished Object and several WIPS. There's a coop cast update, a prize announcement for reaching 1000 members on Ravelry (yay!) and of course a Woolly Thistle update. Thanks to lochnessknitfest.com for sponsoring this episode of NH Knits. Enjoy!
Hello and welcome to another episode of NH Knits! This episode includes quick details about NH Sheep & Wool festival this weekend, What's On and Off The Needles, #rustyKAL news, an emotional Coop Cast as well as The Woolly Thistle update! Enjoy!
Hello friends, this week the podcast is full of information about NH Sheep & Wool and the podcaster meet up. Also there's a lot of chat about what's on the needles, not so much about what's off the needles. There's a tense Coop Cast and a visit to the Piggly Wigglies. There's lots more blether besides. Time to put the kettle on and get your project du jour, put your feet up and visit with me. Enjoy!
Lots of blether about what's on the needles, including the Rusty cardigan and my latest shenanigans with that. We announce all the winners of the #nhkmittenkal2017 of which there are many. Thanks to those generous folks who donated prizes! At long last we visit the coop in the Coop Cast and of course there's The Woolly Thistle's shop update. Thanks for listening! Claire
Hello! This episode is an interview with Heather Radl, owner of Rowan Tree Travel. Heather reached out to me a little while ago because she is a NH business focusing on knitting trips to Scandinavia, the UK and other great knitting destinations. I was immediately intrigued and wanted to learn more. I hope you enjoy the show as it sprinkles you with a bit of wanderlust. I'll be back with a regular episode soon! Claire
Hello and welcome to Episode 59 which was recorded right before the #RustyKAL started. As the Rusty cardigan is newly off the needles I share my thoughts about it and refer you to my Ravelry project notes where I wrote extensively about the pattern and my hints for other knitters. I also talk about the Glenfiddich cardigan which is growing quickly and my Songbird Mittens which I'm knitting for the #nhkmittenkal. The Evelyn socks pattern is moving closer to a release date. We say hello to a lot of new listeners and of course there's a quick rundown of what's happening at The Woolly Thistle.
