Keep Calm and Carry Yarn: A Knitting and Crochet Podcast

by Vivian & Alyson Chu

Keep Calm and Carry Yarn is a podcast in equal parts measure about knitting, crochet, and the mother-daughter bond between its co-hosts, Vivian and Alyson. Join us for our twice monthly chat as we talk about our latest projects and yarn obsessions, advice from a long-time fiber fanatic to a beginner, living in Edinburgh, Scotland (Alyson) versus Virginia, USA (Vivian), fangirling over TV shows we love, and other everyday pursuits.

Mother and daughter podcasting duo. Their awesome relationship shines through. Funny quiz results discussion, WIPs, FOs, movies/books , shop updates and what they have been doing is all part of the show. They are having so much fun - I wish I could be hanging out with them. Mom makes great project bags that they sell from their Pearl & Plum Etsy shop. Highly recommend this podcast!

Drgoad · Jan 2022

I love these ladies! I have listened to the whole backlog I think three times. They are so happy and fun and have one of the best relationships I have heard in a podcast. Do not stop doing the buzzfeed quizzes they are to much a part of it to have them leave now.

timenow13 · Dec 2020

I am a new listener and love to hear their interactions. I do both, knit and crochet and really enjoy the camaraderi and how they explain the WIPS and FOs and shop updates (I just ordered the 'mermaid' sock bag and can't wait to get it).

Real talk about crocheting and knitting...and all the other bits. It’s a great way to feel like you are in their living room having a conversation about the craft which is fabulous because I find I do not actually have that in my daily life. I am happy to say I binged all the shows in a week or so and one thing to note....if you go to their YouTube channel through the link in the show notes, you can actually see everything they are talking about! I can’t believe I hadn’t figured that out earlier but now I’ve listened/watched them all twice! I’m a crocheter that wishes she were a knitter so this makes me want to learn to knit even more. Please keep podcasting, your format and thoroughness is VERY appreciated and enjoyed.

Terrible sound quality. Faint voice in background of one person like a long distance call. I can’t follow the conversation.
