Wonder Mike and Stephen his Knits host a knitting Podcast featuring interviews with prominent male knitters. Site features show notes, links and episode downloads. You are not alone! Singalongs (or KALs) have likely existed from the first moment two stitches got together to kvetch and work on the same projects. Author Larissa Brown discusses her book Knit along which provides an introductory course in online KALS, a history of knitterly communal behavior and some groovy patterns to sharpen your knit along skills.

Description: Y KNIT -- genetically speaking
A Verb for Keeping Warm, as well as its founder and owner Kristine Vejar, transcends a simple definition. A business that sells naturally-dyed yarns and fibers and all manner of tools to use those fibers (spindles, wheels, looms, knitting patterns), it's also creating its own unique community (in the Bay Area and online) through education and celebration of traditions and textiles for knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers, dyers and all people who do labor-intensive work with their hands. Hear how Kristine's childhood connection to sewing and quilting took her to India and the origin of Verb's inspiration.
