The Woolshit Podcast
Perfect listening while knitting
Lisa & Caroline are two European knitters living in South Australia that simply love knitwittering about their favourite hobby. Their Woolshit podcast is everything related to wool, yarn, knitting and crochet.
Each episode is a compendium of knitting anecdotes, project discussions, knitting techniques and knitting in the news. If it's Woolshit, they'll be chatting about it.
If you're also an avid knitter, you're bound to identify with many of the topics Lisa & Caroline discuss. You can visit their Instagram and Facebook pages to see exactly what they are knitwittering about and join in the conversation.
