*tiptoes in, admiring the cobwebs*
Wow. Long time no see. Is there anybody in here?? Well, with or without you, I am planning another podcast! Yes, we’re going out of hibernation again, and pretty soon, too. So please, tune in your RSS readers, iTunes subscriptions and however you may enjoy your Grim Knitter podcast, because I’m back. I’ll be giving you all a proper apology and more sooner than you think (and this time for real).
Hugs,
Nico
I aitent dead yet.
Just thought I’d let you know. 
I’ve had a ridiculously busy time, thus no podcast. I’m missing talking to you, though, and hope to be back next week or thereabouts. Thanks for your patience!

#0: The Grim Placeholder
Hi, and welcome to episode 0! This is just a placeholder, really, because this poor website looked so darn empty. But once I get my voice back (I’ve had a bit of a seasonal cold lately) episode 1 will go live! Yaaay!! So, a bit of information for you guys. This is yet another of those fibre casts. Yes. I am one of those lunatics who always carries a spindle in my hoodie pocket, a sock in my bag and a crochet shawl as a backup in my closet at university. So, I will talk about fibre crafts. Preferrably these three already mentioned, of course, as those are my main interests. Also, there will be music, and cultural input, I hope. I might even share some of my insights from the latest philosophy class or chatter on about some Austen book I read for British Lit. Who knows, right?
I am aiming for a bi- weekly schedule, but might be going on a once- a- month basis for certain periods when I’m busy being on stage or at university. I do hope you will understand. The episodes will probably be of varying length, but I will try my best to stay withing 30- 45 minutes, due to my own personal preferences in that department.
Well then, I’ll keep you on your toes for a little while longer. Thanks so much for stopping by, and do check in again in two weeks’ time. =)
