Comment by socks on September 30, 2008 at 2:37pm: your podcasts are wonderful. Good info & well presented. They would be even more wonderful with two small changes. First - if you would include a "go to" marker before the 2nd & 3rd sections of the podcast. Second - if you would repeat the name and author of the book at the end of your review.

Comment by EdVT on September 23, 2008 at 5:41am: I just wanted to drop a note to say how much I enjoy your podcasts. I find they remind me of thing or ideas I have forgotten about. When listening to your interview with Cheryl I knew now where to look to solve a problem I am having with a vest. I sometimes think I own too many books. I am in the process of listening to some past podcasts and want to add two tools I use. One is a floss threader. I used to use the threader for my serger sometimes to thread yarn through button but these work great and are portable. The other is ravel cord-instead of doing an invisible cast on I use some scrap yarn and knit a half and inch or a little more and then do one row with ravel cord (used with knitting machines a thin slippery cord). After that you start your project with your yarn. When you are ready to join for an invisible seam, you just pull out the ravel cord SLOWLY putting the active stitch ends on a needle and then join your two ends. I love the invisible joins but this saves having to pick out particularly when the project yarn is hairy or tends to stick to other yarns. I have seen people use dental floss but I find it sometimes cuts into some yarns.
Keep up the great podcasts. I love knitting and find knitters always willing to share new ways of doing things.
