Breaking the Silent Melody of the Shuttle

Published by curiousweaver at 2:53 pm under Handweaving

I’ve worked out how to weave at the loom for longer periods and enjoy it even more….podcasting and mp3 music.

As I have 11 metres of fabric to weave off I can’t really report anything new except that I loaded up my mp3 player with all of the Weavecast stories. They are brilliant. Syne Mitchell has developed this audio blog especially for weavers. I listened to all of them, then downloaded Audacity a free audio editor to see how it works.The voice and sound gives a new and exciting experience for weavers out there.After all, who’s ever heard of a radio station about handweaving and knitting! Syne’s broadcasts are professionally recorded with great music and interesting interviews, reviews and viewpoints.Can’t wait for her next podcast to appear!

After weaving for a few hours with Syne’s podcasts, I then started to listen to mp3 music and podcasts from The Philosophers Zone and now I’m hooked!

Studio happiness with audio and Syne Mitchell’s Weavecast

I have several of the Weavecast podcasts loaded into my MP3 player, waiting for me to get weaving and listen to them. I also enjoy several Radio National and NPR podcasts. I agree that listening makes the weaving seem to go more quickly.

another reason to get an mp3 player!! I’ve listened to a couple of the Weavecasts, but usually I skip them by thinking I don’t have time to sit at the computer and listen. What a great idea though – weave and listen to Weavecast!

I just listened to the brand new Weavecast episode, just out today. It’s the best one yet! Syne’s podcast weaves weavers together. I love that.

I’m a bit slow following up your link to Weavecast, but got there tonight and listened to a super podcast about the Handweaver’s Guild of America Certificate of Excellence.

Thanks for the link!
