    Have you ever looked at a piece of knitting and wondered, “How did they figure out how to DO that with just two needles and string?” Whether you’re a picker or a thrower, those techniques had to come from somewhere, and their origins may surprise you.

    Rachel Roden and Heather Boyd look at knitting techniques with the eyes of designers, through the lens of archaeology: each episode travels the world to dig up and discuss a different technique, and then applies it to a clever pattern designed by Rachel.

Not much history and full of wrong info

Wow, I wish they would take the word “history” oury of their titles. There isn’t much history. You can get more out of a Google search by spending 5 min reading. Not only that but these girls really don’t know much about anything. In thisnepisode for example they both talk about Angora goats - they admit that they have heard of Angora rabbits but have never heard of Angora goats. Seriously??? How long have you been knitting? Where do you think mohair comes from? At least bother to do a Google search before you release your podcast! When they talk about goats used for Orenburg shawls they sometimes refer to them as goats and sometimes as sheep. Then one of them says that in Russian they call knitting needles “knitting pins”. Where did she get that info - it doesn’t even make any sense! They call it спицы. It’s one word, has nothing to do with pins. Whether knitting or otherwise. I gave up after listening to 2 of these. I think the main purpose of this podcast is to push their knitting patterns - and there’s nothing wrong with that. But come on, at least Google the stuff you’re taking about.
