Game of Wool Review: Why Knitters Aren’t Impressed + Our Rhinebeck Recap
Description
Carmen and Susan are back from Rhinebeck, but before diving into yarn hauls and sweaters, they’re spilling their thoughts on the new TV sensation A Game of Wool.
Spoiler: it’s not quite the cosy knitting drama they hoped for.
In this episode, they share honest reactions to the show that’s got the fibre world talking - from questionable costumes to script choices that missed the mark - before shifting gears into Rhinebeck magic, yarn purchases, and WIP chatter.
Tune in to hear:
✅ What A Game of Wool got wrong (and a few things it nailed)
✅ Why knitters crave better representation on screen
✅ Rhinebeck highlights: favourite finds, fibre friends & sweater reveals
✅ Finished Objects + what’s on their needles next
Grab your project bag, queue up a mindless knit, and join the conversation — it’s equal parts critique, community, and creative joy.
