The next podcast is up at http://sarastexturecrafts.podbean.com/2012/01/23/episode-7-a-new-year/
It’s been a slow start and a long time since I last podcast, so here’s an update about where I’m at and why I was absent from the audio show.
Don’t forget you can also find me on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/dreaming-in-fibre/id438666862?ign-mpt=uo%3D4
I’m looking into getting this uploaded to the Android system and possible future videocasts too!

In this episode I’m talking about the Crediton Farmer’s Market, the Crediton Spinning Circle, home and garden!
For anyone who might be interested in the ramblings of a fibre addict… I’ve launched my podcast series, ‘Dreaming in Fibre’.
As with all new things, I’m sure it will take me a while to get the hang of… however, I hope it will become a little bit of light hearted listening while you spin, knit, weave,embroider, or felt. Afterall there’s never anything on the telly, right?!

So what can you expect from my pod-casts?
As I say I’m hoping to cover many topics, but generally speaking episodes will include;
- Crafts using fibre, from; spinning, felt making, weaving, to knitting and embellishing.
- I may also cover shows and events I attend as both a stall holder and a customer.
- From time to time I will also be talking you through happenings here at HQ, as well as products, ranges and tutorials.
