Vogue Knitting is launching a membership community in September, the Next Loop. You can read about the Next Loop here. They’ve been running newsletters in advance of the launch, and I was pleased to be included in a discussion: Is brioche still hot? You can read the article here.
I love reading or listening to podcasts while I’m knitting. One of my favorites is Articles of Interest by Avery Trufelman. It’s about fashion and the things we wear, but not about being fashionable. Lots of interesting history. The current episode is titled Lace and Labor, and it’s about knitting, crocheting, and the history thereof. Give it a listen here.
Another favorite podcast is We Tried To Tell You, hosted by Marie Greene (designer, teacher, my ex-publisher) and LYS owner Sarah Keller. I love this industry insider look at knitting/fiber.
You can listen to these on Apple Podcasts, or directly from the links listed above.
Do you read/listen/watch TV while you knit? I’m not much of a TV watcher, but reading and listening work for me!

















Thanks for the wonderful links and suggestions. Enjoyed the Is Brioche Still Hot article (while I’m knitting my first brioche sweater). Sadly I can’t read and knit so I watch podcasts while knitting. A mix of knitting podcasts and MLS soccer podcasts.
I’ve been enjoying watching your brioche sweater come along! I’d still like to knit Knit Graffiti’s Mist brioche top. Not right now, though; I’m back to design and knit work.
Thanks for the link to the brioche article — very interesting — as well as the podcast suggestions. I either listen to audiobooks while knitting or watch TV (thought my knitting speed slows when I have to keep up with captions). I save podcasts for weight workouts. I’m a big fan of Everything Cookbooks.
Another fun podcast: Bootie and Bossy Eat Drink Knit. They’re sisters, one in the Pacific Northwest, and one on the east coast. Lots of fun.
