Manage episode 431714292 series 3579091
By order of the Peaky Blinders. What comes first - the button or the sweater? Knitted turbans. Is knitting like computer programming? Making sweaters for Wonka. Etsy costs for craft creators. Boo to fast fashion! Making handmade affordable. The 1930s and 1940s body shape. Decoding old knitting patterns. Finding the right yarn. Collecting a horde of buttons. Being born in the wrong decade. A creative journey through dance, film, fashion to becoming The Sweater Girl. The supportive retro knitting community. Knitting for mental health. Retro machines. And making sweaters for Peaky Blinders! WOW! What an inspiring guest. Thanks Maddy!
