CogKNITive
Welcome to my podcast about knitting/crocheting and psychology and how they intertwine in my busy life. Sound may not be superior, as I will be recording many episodes from my car as I drive 3 hours roundtrip every day to work, but I hope that content will compensate, as will Audacity, as I become more skilled as a podcaster.
Segments:
What's on My Hooks/Needles
A Strategy for Your Life
Something I Really Like
Blather
Thanks for listening!
