This week the Sheep goes mobile, reporting back from a special knitting workshop at the Fifteen restaurant. Plus there’s a quick look at some online knitting patterns and for those of you looking for love, I have just the place to try…
Reviews
Nice things listeners have said:
"How can you possibly beat an intelligent, articulate, witty Brit who talks about knitting and can play the ukuele?"
"I love this and I don't knit."
"I'm already a podcast junkie, but you've hit the spot with this one, it's fab to hear some thoroughly British broadcasting about knitting!"
"I have a sneaking suspicion that the podcaster known as Hoxton Handmade is really a collaboration between Stephen Fry writing the 'casts and Keeley Hawes narrating them."
"Great voice, good content, comfortable tone and pace, and overall good taste!"
"Infinitely listenable, clever and well-produced"
"My husband kept giving me funny looks because I was laughing so much!"
“Electric Sheep is a must-listen podcast from London-based knitter and guitarist, who also writes the Hoxton Handmade blog. She broadcasts her latest news and views of the day, looking at art, film, music, comedy and knitting (of course!)” Let's Knit! Magazine
"The best new knitting podcast and decidedly one of the very best of all time. I can't recommend it enough."
"Love-love-love these sheep!"

Ooo, new episode, can’t wait to hear it!
In a previous episode, you’d wondered whether we Yanks knew about Alistair Cooke. In fact, he hosted Masterpiece Theater on PBS for many years:

He actually was so familiar to, and much-loved by, us that Sesame Street ran spoofs of him, with Cookie Monster as Alistair Cookie on “Monsterpiece Theater”; one is here:

Just wanted to say I was poking about on iTunes and came across your podcast. I knit and am also on Ravelry (aka: Kandiland) Got to say your podcast is refreshing and fun. Thank you for going to all the trouble of producing Electric Sheep. Keep up the great work on the show. I’ll be listening.
Best Regards,

Great episode! As usual everything was entertaining and interesting! The whole concept behind 15 is great and it was fun to learn all about that. Oh, and those personals were hilarious! Great job!
