What is a podcast?

Think of it Internet radio or television broadcasts.


The term "podcast" has nothing to do with iPods - rather, it is a portmanteau of the acronym "Pod"—standing for "Portable on Demand"—and "broadcast".

Spring is here, but it's still kind of chilly - try wool for warmth and beauty

The weather we're having , to put it mildly, has been rather bizarre.

On cold/chilly days, I'm rather fond of warm snuggly items - and it only gets better when you were the one to knit it yourself.

If you're interested in knitting or crocheting, here are some upcoming events you'll want to explore
