Hi Pomcats! The kettle’s on and we’ve saved a space for you! Come join us with your craft of choice and catch up on all Pom Pom news and musings from Sophie and Lydia.

So, what have we been up to? Sophie took Lydia’s recommendation from episode 63 and made the trip to see Paula Rego at Tate Britain, what a moving exhibition! Lydia has been navigating a house move, but has squeezed in seeing some live music and has finished reading the latest Sally Rooney novel. The pals also discuss their ideas for starting a repair cafe and are looking for advice, have any listeners taken part in something like this?

We’re also marking our calendars for the pre-order release of Interpretations Volume 8, which will be on 9th November! We were very excited to have received the delivery of this beautiful publication at the UK studio recently. Behind the scenes we’re getting Issue 39 ready to land on doormats and in post boxes around the world, and Sophie has made a start on the crochet cardi Rockmore! She could be playing yarn chicken with this one, but is in love with this intuitive stitch pattern.

Remember you can keep in touch with us and other Pomcast listeners via our Ravelry forum, and you can send us your musings via email at podcast@pompommag.com. To be kept informed with all the latest updates, delightful titbits, and treats, we recommend signing up to our weekly newsletter!
