In my post about podcasts I listen to while knitting, I forgot to mention one of my favourite podcasts “Stuff You Missed in History Class“. One of the comments on that post suggested the podcast and I immediately thought: “Of course!!!! I love that podcast!” 😀 Well, they just released a new episode and it is on one of my favourite topics: Knitting 🙂
Ever wonder when and how knitting came to be? Listen to the “Knitting’s Early History” episode. Very interesting…

Never thought of listening to a podcast whilst crafting! Thank you for the idea. 😊
My pleasure! I discovered it about a year ago and I absoluteley love it! 😀 Enjoy!
Interesting. I listened to most of the podcast.
Stuff You Missed in History Class is one of my favorite non-knitting podcasts. I was excited that they came out with an episode on knitting!
Me too!!! I was so excited, I had to share it right away 😀
Thanks for the post, as I am always looking for podcasts…off to listen! Happy knitting!
My pleasure! 🙂 Enjoy!

Then you will love the episode of Stuff Your Mom Never Told You where they look at the history of knitting and how it became women’s work!

Teddy thanks for the tip on Podcasts. I also love the history of how it all started.
My pleasure! I am glad it was interesting to you 🙂
🙂 I have them book marked for the morning. I will be able to listen as I cut up some photos for a quilt I am working on! sometimes I listen to “Discovery” documentaries of places I have been or will be going when working.
That’s fantastic. I should check out Discovery too. Thanks for the great idea.
Your quilts are amazing by the way 🙂
I now know the history of crayons! It was interesting
