The Close Knit podcast aims to hold space for conversation about the ways we use fiber to process life and world events

This is a special episode of the Close Knit Podcast, an idea that came to me while I was standing in the shower, trying to process our current reality.

A few days after the shelter-in-place ordinance began in the Bay Area, I started turning more heavily to my knitting, finding myself really drawn to things that provide me comfort, and I started to wonder if others were doing the same. Then I remembered that I, in fact, host a podcast where this is the entire subject : “conversation about the ways we use fiber to process life and world events”, and this is a time of unprecedented processing - on a global scale.

What this made me think of was podcasts and radio shows where the host would ask people to call in and answer a specific question. So, I reached out to the Close Knit Podcast community, former guests on the show, to see if they’d be interested in speaking to what this time has meant for them and their lives and businesses.

I posed the questions: How are you using fiber to navigate this strange time? If you are a fiber-based business- how are you being impacted (if you are comfortable sharing) and how can members of the close knit podcast community support you in this time?

You’ll hear from:

Stephanie from Social Justice Sewing Academy

I can’t tell you how warm it made me feel to hear the voices of all of these friends of mine - some of whom I haven’t gotten to physically speak to since we recorded. Hearing their voices was like a balm for my tender heat right now.

Thank you so much for listening!
