165 Time out

164 Milestones
6 november 2021 · 30 min
Today I am all about the milestones; those points on the path that tell you you've finally arrived somewhere. Plus, I share some lessons learned on how to unlock the information contained in those fractional numbers in yarn descriptions. There is some math involved, but it's totally worth it. I deconstruct the Graerup Pullover and make plans to find out why the Red Edge has been in time-out for so many months. Lees meer

155 Memento Mori
19 juni 2021 · 23 min
A week where nothing much happens, and a new ironing board cover is cause for celebration. The beach figures prominently. And a suitcase. And bras, again. Trousers are on hold while I pursue the swimsuit of my dreams. Same old same old. Pretty much. Lees meer
A listener let me know this week that the episode permalinks created by my hosting company, Libsyn, link to the old Cast On website, and not to the show notes at my current website (brendadayne.co.uk). I'm working with Libsyn to find a solution. Thanks for your patience.

144 All this buttoning and unbuttoning*
20 februari 2021 · 48 min
The title of this episode is said to hail from an 18th century suicide note, although the anecdote is, apparently, apocryphal. That said, when it comes to knitwear closures, I can definitely relate. Fortunately, there are better and more creative ways to minimize knitwear misbehavior, according to this week's guest, Laura Bellows, of JUL Designs. Lees meer

138 Full of things that have never been
2 januari 2021 · 50 min
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 soon release first breath to the world.
Honor the first day that grants our renewed life,
And prepare to discover new love and self-growth. Lees meer- Rilke
