Show 137 - It doesn't just happen

Sorry this took a while to get up, there was a problem with the site I use to create the show notes, and I had to wait until I was on holidays to work out what was happening. I finally got it sorted yesterday.
As this is the last show of Series 13, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed since it began in February. Series 14 will start up in July (I'm not sure exactly which weekend yet).

Thanks to everyone who has been in contact over the past week, and don't forget to ask some questions...
If you're running anything charitable, please let me know, I'd be only too happy to mention it.
Yes, I know it's 'Finish' and not 'Finnish'.
This week's show sounds a little different due to the lack of carpet in the room, and the changed recording set up - back to normal around 9 April.

About Sticks & String and me

G’day all. I’m David Reidy, a Australian bloke who lives in the Blue Mountains two hours west of Sydney, and knits and podcasts about knitting. Away from the sticks and string, I’m an astrophysicist who now teaches high school. In my knitting and podcasting endeavours I am assisted by my two Burmese cats, Tikka and Tiger.

The Sticks and String podcast appears weekly, so look for a new show each weekend.

If you’d like to keep up-to-date with what’s going on in this blog, you can subscribe to the feed here (don’t worry, it’s free)

If you’d like to automatically receive each new podcast as it is released, you can use iTunes, or put this feed in your podcatcher.

Season 11 will start 3 May and will include all the wonderful things from the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

(Dates and themes are subject to change, of course)

The RSS feeds for the blog and the podcast should show up in your browser feed list.
