If your idea of a perfect winter evening involves a basket of yarn and the rhythmic click of knitting needles, you’ll want to tune in to Vermont Edition, Tuesday at noon. We’ll be talking with fiber artists of all kinds about their crafts and the community that forms around weavers, felters, and, yes, knitters. Our guests include Eric Robinson, a knitter and pattern designer with Green Mountain Spinnery, and Phillis Bont, a weaver with Six Loose Ladies.
Also in this, breaking news update on the F-35 fighter jet and an imminent announcement Tuesday afternoon that Vermont has been chosen to host the new generation of fighter jets. VPR's Taylor Dobbs updates on what is known in the noon hour, ahead of a 1 p.m. official announcement.
And we talk with a representative of the company Megabus, a low cost long distance bus line that has been used by drug traffickers to move drugs among Boston, New York and Burlington. The company has reopened a stop near the UVM campus despite concerns voiced by university and police officials.
