I prefer to listen whilst I crochet - I need to keep my eyes focussed on what I am doing! There is a wealth of audio delights available and I've listed at some below.

In addition to the radio, audio-books present an excellent way to hear the latest books whilst crocheting - or perhaps to learn something new, maybe a language or there are many �self help� audio books available which might make an interesting alternative. Audio books are available from libraries to borrow offering a regular supply to a range of subjects! Audio books are also available to buy and a good online store is Audible which can be found here

The internet too offers a wide range of audio possibilities. One of the most comprehensive radio stations for access over the internet is the British radio station the BBC. This can be accessed here. Each radio station can be listened to live by clicking on the �listen� link, or most programs are stored for 7 days for you to listen to on demand. The best comedy and drama available on the BBC is on Radio 7 here. Click the �listen again� box on the left hand side and the programs from the last week are available, these include many dramas such as from classic writers such as Jane Austen, other dramas such as Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie serializations and of course, a whole range of comedy. The only danger being (as has happened to me) is that you get so engrossed in working out 'who done it' that I forgot to stop what I was doing and ended up with an arm about 1 foot longer than required!

An excellent source for online audio-books, which are available free of charge, is at Librivox here. This is an exciting project whereby out of copyright books, therefore in the public domain, are taken and volunteers read and record a chapter each and this is available to access via the internet. Typically this includes a lot of the classics and is an interesting place to visit, and presents a huge range of possibilities for things to listen to whilst you crochet!

Podcasts are a recently new development and these are recordings which are made by individuals and then made available over the internet. They can often be accessed direct or downloaded into an mp3 file and listened to on your mp3 device at your leisure! There are podcasts available on a whole wide range of subjects and many of these are crochet or craft related. Crochetville.org have recently launched their own crochet related podcast. There are online directories of the latest podcasts available on the internet, an example of a podcast directory can be found here.

What do you listen to or watch whilst crocheting? Do pop into the forum and let me know!
