This episode kicks off with my recent creative exploits, including a knitted shawl crisis and a Christmas update.  It also includes a giveaway, a special offer and lots of beer.  (Honestly!)  The main show topic is gift wrapping.  So you know the drill - sit back, relax, grab your current crafty work in progress, and a beer if you like, and join in with the crafty banter. *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.

It's been a few weeks since the last episode so this show is a something of a crafty catch up.  There will, as always, be a works in progress update.  Our roving reporter Kate tells us all about the Knitting and Stitching Show in London.  Also you'll hear a little bit about my recent trip to Jersey.  So grab a cuppa and let's settle down for a crafty catch up. *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.

This bumper episode explores ideas for 'man crafts' and concludes that there is really no such thing!  Craft shouldn't be gender stereotyped.  Craft is for all - it's universal.  Charles is a guest on the show and we make Christmas cake soap and share crafty ideas.  Charles is in charge of the Guernsey section of the show and it's all about dolmens.  There is also a special offer for all podcast listeners and blog readers.  So sit back, relax, grab a cuppa and enjoy the crafty banter. *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.

Guess what this show is about?  Yes, you guessed right - it's all about sewing.  I have re-discovered my sewing machine so I wanted to share the sewing love!  I also talk about my recent creative exploits and we learn a little Guernsey flag history.  Grab a cuppa and join me for crafty goodness... *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.

This show is all about Guernsey's 2011 North Show and features co-host Chloe and new 'friend of the show' Janet.  It includes audio recorded from the show as well as a little history.  The show is wrapped up with our recent creative exploits (we thought we'd better include a little craft after virtually forgetting to mention it in the North Show section.  Oops!)  It also features a kazoo solo, a sonic screwdriver and a tarantula.  Intrigued?  You should be... *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.

In this episode I am joined by a guest co-host - the lovely Charles.  Most of this episode's content has been driven by Charles, hence the title 'Charles in Charge!'  (Before you ask, no, it isn't an homage to the 80s American sitcom featuring Diagnosis Murder star, Scott Baio... although that is a thought for another episode...!) We chat about my recent creative exploits as well as Charles's recent culinary exploits, as he is known for being quite a foodie.  We'll share recipes and cooking tips, as well as a food orientated Guernsey segment, with 'a twist'.  Bon appetit. *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.

Welcome to episode 20. After a well earned rest, the podcast returns (or 'strikes back' for the Star Wars geeks, like me!)

Welcome to episode 13 of the iMake podcast. This isn't a typical podcast episode - it's a mini episode entirely about my recent Stitch n' Bitch Knit-Along ('KAL'). Our KAL project was a toe-up sock. This episode contains audio recorded on the evening of the KAL. If you are a brand new iMake podcast listener please can I suggest you download some of my earlier episodes as this one isn't in the usual format, so you really won't get a feel for what the podcast is usually like. Also if you have no interest in sock knitting whatsoever I will not be offended in the slightest if you give this one a miss! The next full length episode of the iMake podcast will be released over the next fortnight, so watch this space. *** Please note, as of May 2014, the iMake blog has a new website address - imakegsy.com (show notes can be found here). If you'd like to make contact, please email imakegsy@gmail.com. Thank you.***.
