I'm going to have to call in to my local library and put in a request for them to purchase the Woolly Wormhead book. That way everyone in my community will get a chance to be inspired by it as much as me.

Never heard of short row colourwork before but very excited by this new woolly adventure after hearing your interview with Woolly Wormhead

[@RealtorJenniferAshley]

I am fascinated with this work! I live in the US and absolutely plan to get my hands on the Woolly Wormhead book. I knit, spin, and dye yarn, and I am so excited to use my yarns in her beautiful patterns.

[@annzbikowski4198]

Marvelous I need to learn something new in knitting. I am 75 and have to keep the brain going. I ore ordered the book. I always read through new knitting books like a novel first. Thanks so much for the interesting interview. I will be happily read and knitting shirt rows this summer where I live in Floruda. You are great.

[@barbaradouglas9465]

Hi Martyn, thank you for introducing me to Woolly. So excited to knit in short rows!

[@maikengundsoe]

Thanks for a wonderful interview with Woolly Wormhead. I used to follow her mystery KAL years and years ago. I fell off the hat-knitting wagon at some point. I would love to get back into knitting hats, especially with the short-row technique. It was quite popular in Denmark 10-15 years ago, everything was made with short-rows. I'd love to give it a go again.

[@jacquiheasman2048]

Thanks for the introduction to Woolly Wormhead! It was fascinating.

[@abbocris]

I have made a couple of Woolly Wormhead's hats and think they're clever and beautiful. I would LOVE to have their new book!

Loved this interview with Woolly, and her passion to share her creativity.This has inspired my to have a jump into the world of short rows x

[@jantiley735]

What a fab interview with Woolly! That book is going on my birthday present wish list for sure. I love German short rows, they are the best. I've made the Papillon shawl and the Pincha shawl so I'd love a crack at some of the designs in Woolly's book ❤

[@annnessa7441]

Wonderful interview with Woolly. I have made a few of her hats and love wearing them and knitting them. And you are correct when you get in the rhythm they are fun and enjoyable to knit. Thank you for offering a copy of the book. I will be sharing this interview with all my knitting friends.

[@silkeplanert]

Such a great interview with Woolly Wormhead! Well done, Martyn! I love working German Shortrows, it’s probably my favorite way of doing shortrows. I’ve never worked on a design by Woolly, but she’s been on my radar for a long time. I’m SO intrigued by this book, the techniques and the possibilities!

[@miuschk.1976]

Thanks for the great interview with Woolly. I cast on the Azula Hat as one of my 12 cast ons and had a lot of fun. Can't wait to get back to it.

[@catrionamacauslan542]

Great timing! Have just knit my first german short rows ever. Don’t think they were invented when I last knit a jumper (c1980s) Loved the interview, now following Woolly and have a hat on my todo list. Thanks again Martin and Woolly for a great interview and inspiration.

[@sylviaeast9444]

I am blown away! Woolly Wormhead is a joy to listen to and I would love to have that book to work through. Superb interview! X

[@lynallen693]

Thanks Martyn for brilliant podcast. I have been following Woolley and her hats for a long time, so was really interested in this, and look forward to having a play with these new techniques.

[@nixkbing1192]

Thanks for this interesting interview with W. wormhead. How much thought, ideas and work over two years in a single book! I already preordered the book.

[@janedaniel7288]

Hi Martyn and Woolly. I've never tried german short rows but loving the patterns. I hadn't thought of them in a hat, I just thought they where for garments. Maybe a good thing never having tried them before I have no bad technique to change. The shawl looked so pretty. Well done on the homework Martyn. Happy April to everyone. xxJane 🐑🌼

[@jampotts5730]

great interview. learnt so much, Woolly is such an inspiration and now short rows are not so intimidating and has opened a whole new world of possibilities.

[@janatherton9194]

This was a lovely interview, I enjoyed listening to Woolly talking about their design process. I usually use Sunday short rows, but I will have to experiment with the German short rows a bit more to see how they compare!

[@VroniDi]

Very interesting interview, thanks Martyn and Woolly!

[@KnittyCat28]

Loved this interview thank you. Both you and woolly have such enthusiasm for this technique and I can see why short rows have always sounded scary but watching this I see it is such an interesting technique and I would love to try it.

[@teenera3064]

I've never heard of Woolly Wormhead so this was great! I've also never done these techniques so I will be keeping it in mind for future projects 😁

[@abigailickringill1140]

This is my first encounter of Woolly and wow! What an interesting and beautiful technique. The maps are so clear as to what's happening. My hesitance with short rows is I often get lost of where I am and which way I should be knitting.

[@christineclothier5773]

I have done very little short row knitting. However with Woolly new book I’m very keen to have another go.

[@alisongummery3767]

What an interesting interview, Woolly was really inspiring!

[@nicolekerslake5533]

Such a great interview with Wooly. So very creative

[@dbkmsb]

Loved the interview with Woolly and look forward to the book. I’ll be contacting my fav lys to make sure it’s coming! I have a couple of Woolley’s patterns and started one. The yarn I was wanting to knit with just wasn’t right but I vowed to come back to the captivating pattern. Now’s the time!

[@anneclarkson8779]

Fantastic interview with Woolly wormhead, I'll definitely be looking out for her work now!

[@kgillespie4463]

Wonderful interview with Woolly! I've been a big admirer of their hat design for a long time, and am a member of their Patreon also. I've just put in a pre-order for the book, but would still love to be in the running for the book, as I'd love to give this to my niece, who is a new knitter who is very excited about exploring new techniques. Thank you again for this great interview.

[@katecoull594]

[@elissahalstead8352]

Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve just connected how I can use these ideas on baby knits! Our “plunket” baby singlets and hats are knit sideways in garter, so I’ll be knitting them in colourwork short rows now. Makes it much more interesting 😃❤️
