Happy New Year!! Welcome 2010 it’s good to see you!
Intro
Granny G discusses New Zealand holiday dates for 2009/2010, she’s off for a family road trip to the South Island. Christmas celebrations are discussed and crafty gifts. G’s organising the house for a new boarder and reorganising her craft room. Granny has relaxed by reducing the amount of crafting and baking she has done.
Crafting this week
Super secret knitting project to be the main focus, will now have a Super Secret Update section. G’s been making dresses for Jayshree and her sewing machine was overwhelmed. She’s got very keen on elastic. Granny has decided to not take on any new crafts as she is impressed by Meg’s dedication to her one craft.
Interview with Meg
Meg Nakagawa’s Website, which has a blog post about the interview with a few more things she wanted to say and a gallery with lots of beautiful pictures of her work plus links to her exhibitions. Meg is a professional weaver who lives in Nelson. When she started becoming a full time weaver she worked through the book The Artist’s Way.
Meg jokes that she learnt everything about New Zealand from Kim Hill, she hosts the Saturday morning show on our main public brodcasting radio station Radio New Zealand National.
Meg’s first public weaving event was a workshop at the Marlborough Weavers.
Secret Project
Project to be entered in Creative Fibre’s Fashion Parade. Genny’s been spinning Gottland fleece and plans to knit a jacket in the dark fleece, a dress or skirt in grey and an accessory item. She describes her design process and knitting so far.
Conclusion
G is happily still in holiday mode. Granny thanks Celeritas2 (that’s me) for doing notes for the show.

Just a wee correction – something that’s quite important: I learned everything from Kim Hill while she was the host of Nine to Noon! Every single morning, I listened to her, religiously. I still listen to the National Radio on weekdays, but as to Kim Hill’s Saturday shows, thank goodness for downloads!
Sorry Meg, my bad. Just wanted to give a link for the international listeners to hear ‘Our Kim’.
I’ve just discovered your podcast and began listening to this episode (earliest one available to me on iTunes) and think this one’s a winner! I found the conversation fascinating. I’ll be listening to the earlier episodes off your website.
