Cast On returns for its ninth series, trailing builder’s dust, bits of rubble and three moments of ritual humiliation. We spend an hour on the 4th plinth in ten minutes, and magically wind up very close to home.
This week’s Audible recommendation is the Victorian True Crime Murder Mystery, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, by Kate Summerscale.

If you missed my hour on the plinth, take heart. It is still available for viewing online.

Moment of Ritual Humiliation, the last. The awesome felted jacket that I once stumbled upon, and now cannot find for love nor money, is actually based on a Marci Tilton pattern, not a Sandra Betzina pattern. (I have patterns from both designers, who each rock my wardrobe, in different ways.)

Happy Anniversary! I remember your first podcast. At the time the only other knitting podcast was “Knitcast with Marie Irshad”. Now look at how the genre has grown! I look forward to listening to many more podcasts from you. Yours is the friendly voice that accompanies me on roadtrips from Minnesota to eastern Wisconsin.
p.s. Whatever happened to Marie Irshad?
Greetings from Norway
I could hardly believe it when I found out, that there’s a podcast for knitters. Actually it was my husband who discovered the podcast for me. We’d got phones with ipods and were trying to learn how to download and listen to podcasts.
I must admit I do suffer from a mild case of KNITTING FRENZY! on the odd occasion. I also love spinning yarn from al sorts of fibers.
I must say I was hooked from listen # one. I find your podcast inspiring and fun to listen to. Nice music too. And Hanne Boel was one of your music choices – hmm, nice surprise, since (though living in Norway) I’m danish – as is Hanne Boel. She has a very nice soul-lish type of voice, which I (and many others) highly appreciate
Thanks for Cast On !
You said you checked the interweave site for errata. Have you considered writing a review or comment on the pattern in the interweave store? or telling interweave in some other way?
Interweave could simply say that model has x inch bust, is wearing x inch sweater.

Hi Brenda, Due to problems with my iPod I listened to this one today while going to work and it must have been a strange thing for my fellow travelers to see me smile almost the whole time during the part of the plinth..You have done great!!!!! and I loved your performance!! Now I have some more to listen from your great podcast because i am running far behind with listening.. Thank god they are all now on my iPod again and I will have many train trips with lots of info, great music and your great voice… and I loved the last song (brought almost tears in my eyes, don’t know why)
So thanks again for bringing such a pleasure in a Dutchman’s life
