Electric Sheep Reviews
Nice things listeners have said:
"I love this and I don't knit."
The iPaper's 'Download of the Day' 26th October 2010
"How can you possibly beat an intelligent, articulate, witty Brit who talks about knitting and can play the ukuele?"
"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."
“Electric Sheep is a must-listen podcast” Let's Knit! Magazine
Hoxton Handmade’s Favourite Knitting Patterns- PetraI realise it's only the beginning of February, and temperatures here are around freezing, but this sweet jumper is a lovely piece of Springtime knitwear to look forward to. It's knitted in one piece, top-down, in worsted-weight yarn, so shouldn't take long to whip up. I suspect the little two-stitch cables are twisted/crossed stitches, and the […]

Another lovely podcast and I’m not just saying that because of the fantastic plug for my own podcast.
THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks for the fantastic episode and all the great tips! I was listening to it on my way to work this morning. Can’t wait to get home and look at all the new podcasts and websites you found for us.
Thanks Cecily, just hope you enjoy them too!
You’re very welcome Wondermike! (Please tell us you have a knitted cape as well as your podcasting superpowers?!)
Dear Katie,
Love the podcast. I am writing from the US. I’m a fan and wanted to post a review of your podcast but iTunes won’t let me. Apparently since my account is US based I am not allowed. The error message I get says I can’t “purchase” anything on the UK site. I contacted support and told them I’m not trying to “buy” only trying to post a review on the UK site because the podcaster is from the UK. His advice was to “report a concern” so I reported it as a “problem”. Sorry. If you can figure this out you will get a lot more American reviews. In the meantime you can “change country” from your iTunes Store home page (all the way at the bottom), once in the USA you can search for your podcast and see the American reviews.
Hello there Rosie, thank you so much that’s really very kind of you to try and post a review, but yes, it seems you have to stick with the country you’re based in. Thanks for the instructions too, someone on Ravelry told me that only yesterday – and wow, I had no idea all those reviews were there! You’re all very kind and lovely people! I think as long as people see a review or two from the country site they’re using, that’s fine to give them an idea of what the Sheep is about.
