<description>&lt;p&gt;Hello yarn friends -&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We’re getting close to the end of this first series of the Make Joy podcast and I can hardly believe it. It’s been a wild ride, and a crazy year, and while it hasn’t always gone to plan, I hope you’ve enjoyed listing to the conversations I’ve been able to have with friends and colleagues from the yarn and craft world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This week is a little bit different, as things have been busy behind the scenes getting ready for Make Joy in a few short weeks. You’re coming, right? ;) I was wondering what to do for the podcast this week when it came to me - why not share a little bit about what it’s like to be there? So this week, I hope you’ll enjoy my sharing the recording with you of last year’s Knitters’ Question Time presented by Wild &amp; Wooly x Knit 15.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knitters’ Question Time is always a festival favourite, from when Anna and I first started these at unravel years ago, to last year having to turn people away at the door due to space capacity in the room (don’t worry - the talks at Make Joy this year are in a room with double the capacity!). Anna of course, is the owner of Wild &amp; Woolly and hugely knowledgeable about knitting and has a huge roster of talented folks at her fingertips who she brings together for the expert panel to answer all kinds of questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On this recording of Knitters’ Question Time the panel is ably moderated by Anna and the experts include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Jonathan Day&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Belen Fernandez&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Wendy Peterson&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Sylvia Watts-Cherry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was wonderful to listen to the recording and get even more excited for this year’s Make Joy - not just for the talks (sponsored this year by Laine Publishing!) or the exhibitors, but by the laughter and camaraderie that you could hear from the audience in the room. I loved listening to audience members offer their own advice and answers to questions, and the commiseration with others on a variety of topics (turns out swatching isn’t the most popular, who knew?!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s only a few short weeks now to &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://www.woolwich.works/events/make-joy-2025"&gt;Make Joy, which returns to Woolwich Works on Saturday 8 November&lt;/a&gt;. Early bird tickets are available now and the price goes up 1 November so make sure you’ve got yours soon!
