Listener Feedback

Lissette emailed me around the end of February and said that she's another one who keeps a sock in her purse in case she gets stuck somewhere. She heard me mention it on a previous podcast, and said she thought she was the only one!

I got a comment from Janet Szabo of Big Sky Knitting Janet is the designer of the (FLAK) Follow The Leader Aran Knit-Along, and the author of several books, including one great book on Aran sweater design.

Comments[3]

Caroline -- I've been listening to your podcasts after Brenda Dayne's mention of your show, and I've appreciated both your content and your pursuit of better and better technology.

Two comments: When you play promos, can you mute your new headset microphone? We can hear your breathing while you listen to the promo. That would be lovely.

Second, I couldn't find an email address on either of your sites, so I had to resort to using the comments field. It might be nice to have a "contact me / email me" link somewhere in your show notes.

Thanks a lot! Most sincerely, Cat

I love your podcast and have been following it since you first started! Keep up the good work. I also could not find a link to email you. I wanted to let you know about a Spinning for Colorwork Knitting workshop that will be held June 29-July 2 outside of Huntsville, AL, especially since no one has submitted any southern fiber events. Lynne Vogel will be teaching. I went to a dye workshop she taught last year, and all I can say is that it was fabulous! Details are at her blog site http://www.handspuncentral.blogspot.com/ in case you are interested in getting the word out. Thanks!
