Intro
Granny welcomes back the familiar faces and new faces. Shownotes are at www.grannygcrafts.com,
Email Granny or participate in the ravelry forum.
Granny’s been to Dunedin, hung out with the Dunedin knitters like Vintage Purls and visited the Milton Mill again. Granny bought 35 balls of wool, two hanks and some roving.
Crafting this week
Knitted a Citron scarf using one ball of Zauberball in the Burnt Almond colourway, likes wearing it under a jacket. Knitting sample squares for her Knit August Nights class. Granny is enjoying wearing socks this Winter so is knitting Lindsay from Cookie A’s Sock Innovation book which uses the same stitch pattern as a treasured knitted item and is using a Vintage Purls yarn.
Granny hasn’t been spinning as her wheel needs a few repairs from Majacraft.
Has been sewing a lot, a merino knit top, merino pants, tartan pull on pants, a jacket and a dress. Is currently sewing a cape and she’s keen to sew with a paisley silk. She enjoyed shopping at Anne’s Sewing Room in Dunedin. Granny is wondering whether you can have too many outfits from the same pattern?
Granny’s first media kit
Granny has received a media kit from Craft 2.0, a Wellington craft fair with the next one being held on June 12 from 10am to 3pm at TheNewDowse, address: 45 Laings Road, Lower Hutt, Wellington. The two things that Granny loved the most are from Dear Colleen and Freedom Creative.
Granny is offering a prize pack, a tile, a magnet from Art Divine, a ceramic badge from Stephanie Cahorel, a badge, a notecard and fabric covered badge from PlasticFairy, a fabric crane from Free Range Baby, some notecards from Knitsch and maybe some extras from Granny.
To win write a blog post about the GrannyG podcast and then put a comment in reply to this episode’s shownotes, competition closes on 30 June.
What’s on the bookstand Granny?
Bird on a Wire: The Inside Story From a Straight Talking CEO By Theresa Gattung. Granny wanted to learn about Theresa’s choice to become Chairwoman of Wool Partners International after her role as CEO of Telecom, the biggest telecommunications company in New Zealand.
In the Tins: Bagels
GrannyG reads from Real Flavours by Glynn Christian. She is keen to find pretzels when she is in New York, yes New York, she’s going to Rhinebeck and is keen to have a picnic with anyone who will be there. Granny uses Nigella Lawson’s recipe from How to be a domestic Goddess. Granny also looks to The Bread Bible for more info about bagels.

Hi Grannyg! I’m an ex-Dunedinite but have been living in the US for the past 9 years. I found your podcast about a month ago and have loved listening to all your previous episodes. The interviews are such a treasure and I’m learning so much about my heritage. I also love the in my tins section and I’m inspired to do more Kiwi baking for my American husband and family. Their favourites to date are pavlova and jelly sponge. I can’t thank you enough for the hours and hours of pleasure you have given me (even if you do make me feel very homesick!).
Hi Joanne
If there are any childhood favourites that you want me to bake, let me know 
Thanks so much for this lovely feedback! Sorry about the homesick bit though
Awesome episode, as ever.
Thank you for talking about making bagels. Dare I try to make some? In Finland “bagels” are also usually just bread rolls with holes in the middle.
I’ve heard of people buying the same piece of clothing or shoes in different colours when they find something that fits or suits them, so I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t use the same pattern to make more than one of them. And I’ve read about TNT (I’m guessing that means tried and true?) patterns so they must be using the same pattern more than once? What was the pants pattern you used (I’m curious about the split leg) and the Ottobre pattern?
I wrote a short blog post about your podcast. It’s at shirleyssalad.blogspot.com
