Cross posted from my blog at Scifiville. Good news - I will be going to the Knitting & Stitching Show next week :) I'm doing some stuff for my dayjob but will also be recording some interviews for KnitCast. No, really, it really is returning to the podways. So that means I'll be curing RSS feeds all over again! Oh joy...

This would have been available earlier Friday but have I mentioned how much I dislike writing my RSS feed?!

Send your NYC suggestions to feedbackATknitcast.com (remember to replace AT with @ to remove spam trap) If you've emailed that address before and had a "This mail box is full message", I've now fixed that.
All suggestions on RSS feed generators accepted - (I use an Apple Mac btw). I'll probably try Libsyn's one first and see how that goes. At the moment I'm writing it sort of manually-ish and having issues. There must be a better, easier way!

Such A Bad Podcaster...
Yes this is a little addition to the post on my personal blog.
Firstly, yes there will be a new edition of KnitCast this month.
Secondly, I'm going on holiday to New York City in July and hope to record some interviews while I'm there! I'll be there for the first week of July and I have some ideas for interviews and I'll be contacting people soon about those. However I do want to leave the majority of my trip for shopping! It'll be my third visit to NYC and my second trip to the Garment District. I'm really looking forward to it! Let's hope I don't go over my baggage weight allowance on the way home!

If You Missed Wales in Stitches
You can still hear it online on demand at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiowales . Just go to Listen Live or Listen Online on the page, click one of those links and then scroll down until you find Wales in Stitches. It should hopefully remain there until Wed 21st March.
Just a reminder again that the programme is available via streaming Real Media, not as a podcast, so you'll need Real Player to hear it.

Knitting on BBC Radio Wales
It's been a long time in the making but my programme "Wales in Stitches" is being broadcast tomorrow, Sunday March 11th, at 12pm GMT. It'll be repeated at 9.30pm on Wednesday March 14th. It features interviews from a hen party in a yarn store, artist Kelly Jenkins, hand dyer Jeni Brown and fellow podcaster Brenda Dayne.
It won't be available as a podcast but you can listen live via Real Player www.bbc.co.uk/radiowales
At the moment it looks like KnitCast will be returning in April.

How to Knit a Poem
Well some have been asking where I've been and the answer is over on my knitting blog
I've been so busy with unpacking that I actually forgot that there was a four part series called "How to Knit a Poem" presented by the National Poet of Wales Gwyneth Lewis starting today. In fact it's starting in less than an hours time on BBC Radio 4. Oh and I'm interviewed in the first one I think....:)
You should be able to listen online here
Knitcast will return in 2007.

Competition Closed and KnitCast on Vacation!
Thank you for all your entries! And so exciting to see the different countries that listeners live in!
But you'll have to wait until I get back from holiday to hear who won. In just over an hour we're off to San Francisco. A little more on that can be found on my knitting blog, now I have to finish packing! :)

Seamless - webcast and more info
Thanks to Jess for this.
If you listened to the podcast and thought "hey, it just ended with no back link!", you're right. I forgot to record one! I'm just uploading it to Libsyn while writing this and realised my mistake. However it's taken me so long to post this edition I think you'll forgive me for not wanting to take even longer to post it!
And to the competition!
I have one copy of KnitGrrl 2 by Shannon Okey to give away. I wanted to think up some fancy question but have been too busy, so instead you can enter by emailing me at the usual address with Competition in the subject line. In the body of the email be sure to include your full name and address including any post or zip codes and the country where you live.
The deadline to get your entry in is September 1st. I will then put everyone's names in a tub and and draw one lucky winner. The winner will get the book posted to them. Good luck everyone! Oh and sorry but multiple entries will not be accepted.
