I’m a writer, podcaster, designer, speaker, teacher, blogger, crafter, and editrix of What Would Madame Defarge Knit?—Creations Inspired by Classic Characters.
I write here about knitting, crafts, cooking (now gluten-free), and the myriad things in which I’m interested. My main podcast is CraftLit and that’s now spawned a sister show Just the Books—all the lit, none of the craft.
You can find out more about my podcasts, this blog and my patterns, or you can sign up for the OED Word of the Day (mid-right sidebar)—all just by clicking! How cool is that!?

Heather, have you read, or better yet, listened to the books by Simon Winchester: “The Professor and the Madman” and “The Meaning of Everything”, both about the establishment of the OED? Read by the author and simply fascinating!
I haven’t yet. The husband did, but now that I know that a listen would be good, I’ll do it! Thank you!
Heather, Love the new look. And I just want to say how much I enjoyed Jane Eyre and all of your comments. I am a couple of episodes behind and can’t wait to start the next book. Keep up the good work.
