Cast On

Leisure EN ↓ 222 episodes

Cast On began on Monday, 31 October, 2005, founded on nothing more than the desire to talk about knitting to people who get it. Since then, the podcast has evolved to focus on finding inspiration in the ordinary, using it to kick start the process of making stuff, and finding ways to carve out the creative time and space that allows you to work your ass off on the projects that matter most to you. Like knitting a sweater. Or saving the world. brendadayne.substack.com

138 Full of things that have never been 02.01.2021 50:21

Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings. Grieve the loss of the countless instants that you will never taste again; Never to touch or to experience the same moment the same way again. Commemorate the fallen whose hands once held warm, But now bare the touch of Winter's frost. To remember those who will not venture into the New Year with us, And to celebrate the fresh creation of life to...
