About this author

Hi everyone! Welcome to the world of Craft Talkin' - a podcast like no other!

We're your hosts - Merion Willis, Craft Editor and Writer, and Teacher, avid knitter, crocheter and baker, and fan of all crafts; and Jamie Chalmers, Mr X Stitch himself, the kingpin of contemporary embroidery, curator of museums and podcast hero.  Between us, we host the Craft Talkin' podcast; Jamie hosts his own stitching podcast, NeedleXchange, and Merion runs Merion Makes, knitting and crochet for beginners!

Before Craft Talkin', we hosted The LoveCrafts Show (when Merion was Craft Editor at LoveCrafts), and we proudly recorded four seasons of that fabulous show, until we switched over to Craft Talkin' - and we've had great fun talking to our crafting heroes ever since!

You can find Craft Talkin' and The LoveCrafts Show on Spotify or Apple Podcasts (or wherever you get your pods), along with NeedleXchange!

You can find MerionMakes on Instagram, and her knitting patterns on LoveCrafts!

We'd love to hear from you - please do send any enquiries or biscuits to hello@crafttalkin.com
