2 Knit Lit Chicks

Barb and her daughter Tracie have carved out a genuinely unique niche by combining two passions that pair surprisingly well: knitting and reading. Running since 2011 with over 300 episodes, they've built a loyal audience of 515 reviewers who gave them a 4.7-star average -- numbers that speak for themselves. Each episode splits time between their current knitting projects and whatever books they've been reading, complete with personal ratings and recommendations. It's the kind of dual-hobby show that rewards listeners who share both interests, but even if you're only there for the knitting side, there's plenty to keep you engaged. They run regular knit-alongs with community participation and have organized charity knitting initiatives over the years. The mother-daughter dynamic is warm without being saccharine, and their detailed show notes include Ravelry links and yarn specifications for everything they mention. One thing worth knowing: they've announced plans to wrap up the show in September 2026 after a planned 15-year run. So if you're discovering them now, you're catching the final stretch of a podcast that's been a staple in the knitting community for years. The episode archive is deep enough to keep a new listener busy through several sweaters' worth of knitting time.
