Welcome to the Stitch Goddess Podcast!

Episode One

Introduction

Hello and welcome to The Stitch Goddess Podcast, where I will talk about my knitting, sewing and quilting projects. You can find me on Ravelry and Instagram as elissapack.

I wanted to create a podcast for 3 reasons:

1. Inspiration : I am continually inspired by the creations of other knitters like Maria Montzka of Stitched in Sweden, Dani of Little Bobbins Knits, Cheryl Temple at Stitchy Bee and Lisa Comfort of Sew Over It.
2. Accountability : Having a podcast will help me stay focused on my knitting, sewing and quilting projects, even when I want to procrastinate...
3. Joy! I adore yarn and my love for making things has grown over the last year - and I really want to share the happiness and pride in my makes with you!

Regular features of my podcast will include works in progress, finished objects, items from my finished object archive and upcoming projects.
