Quick Podcast recommendation for fans of Elizabeth Zimmerman, social history, and fiber arts

by Sarah Lake Upton in


After all the changes of the last few months, I finally had a quiet moment to start catching up on podcasts this weekend. This recent series of interviews with Dr. Lily Marsh on the Yarns at Yin Hoo podcast about Elizabeth Zimmerman and her influence on knitting is a fascinating mix of (relatively) recent knitting history, social history, and a glimpse at how historians work and draw conclusions. I’ve only managed to listen to the first episode in the multipart series (episode 268) but I’m hooked.
