Bente Geil - Ep. 73 - Fruity Knitting

We have a great program for you in Episode 73 with two highly contrasting feature interviews. First, we go to Denmark to interview the designer Bente Geil, who is very well known in Scandinavia for her designs and her beautiful yarn brand Geilsk. Bente has actually done a Bachelor's Degree in Handcraft, so she brings a lot of knowledge to her designing. Her very clever designs unusually cover the full range of 12 sizes which is fantastic! Our second interview is with Nancy Irlbeck, who is a Professor in the Animal Science department at Washington State University. Nancy is extremely passionate about sheep and wool production as well as preserving the rare breeds. This is a super interesting interview because Nancy has a great understanding of the relationship between sheep and humans both from an animal scientist perspective but also at a very deep personal level. One of her greatest joys is teaching young people to work with sheep and to understand them. Apart from that, we take you to a stunning 13th century Welsh castle with amazing views, we announce the winners for our Cable and Lace KAL and give you an update on our projects.
