Show notes

In this episode of the A Yarn Story Podcast, Carmen is joined by Helen - the newest member of the A Yarn Story team - for an easy, yarn-filled conversation about knitting, creativity, and life with wool.

From what’s currently on their needles and what they’re wearing, to colourwork loves, vintage-inspired patterns, and the ever-evolving nature of knitting plans, this episode is full of relatable making chat.

They also dig into an honest discussion about Game of Wool - what the show gets right, what it misses, and why handmade skills deserve more respect than reality TV sometimes allows.

Along the way, Carmen and Helen reflect on craftsmanship, knitting stereotypes, valuing designers’ work, and why knitting is a lifelong learning process. A thoughtful, warm episode for knitters who care deeply about making well.
