Great Crochet and Fiber Arts Podcasts
I listen to people crocheting on the radio.
Or, to be more specific, to experts and enthusiasts talking about crochet in podcasts via various streaming services (although sometimes I do literally listen through my car radio speakers while my phone is hooked up to the entertainment system).
Crochet podcasts give you something to listen to while your hands and eyes are busy with your yarn and hook, but just as importantly are a fabulous way to expand your crochet horizons. Read on to discover some podcasts that I have found to be truly entertaining and enlightening.
Give a listen while you are working on your next project!
