Your podcast constantly helps me with my knitting. I only started back on number episode 88, but I always enjoy listening to them. Since I've started, I would say episode 92, "How We Weave," was very helpful. This helped me in all my knitting, even on the loom. Before, I would just tie a knot, and it made some of my projects look pretty bad. Learning all the different ways to weave in ends was really helpful. The i-cord episodes were also great, but I must say #92 was my absolute favorite.
Congratulations on reaching number 100! Here's to 100 more!

I can't choose just one but I really enjoyed the interview with Wendy Bernard (immediately bought the book) and the technique podcasts (i-cord and slipping stitches). I do look forward to getting a new podcast in my itunes and immediately check the notes to see what the topic is.

Really enjoy these - please do another 100.

The podcasts I really love are the seasonal ones with Tina when you talk about new yarn colours and lines. I love getting to know how decisions are made at Knit Picks and to hear about the new products coming out!

I also really enjoyed the magic loop podcast- I've never tried this technique and it was nice to hear an explanation of how it works.

Congratulations on your 100th podcast! There are so many things I enjoy about your podcasts that I can't pick just one episode. I really enjoy the interviews, and have learned about a lot of techniques from your podcasts, too. I also enjoy listening to your book recommendations, both knitting and non-knitting.

I hope there will be at least 100 more epidodes!

I live 30 minutes from work so that means I get one hour a day to listen to c.d.'s of Kelly's podcasts. My friend has all of them recorded and she is so sweet to let me borrow them. I think I love hearing about all Kelly's adventures. I do not get to travel so it is like a vacation for myself hearing about all the different countries Kelly has visited.

I have learned so much from the podcast. Thanks for all of the time and effort that goes into making them so great and easy to understand.

I have especially loved hearing whats on your needles and learning new (to me anyways) techniques, especially about circular knitting. Can you believe I had never even heard of EZ before the knitpicks podcast!?!

Congrats on reaching 100! Here's to 100 more!

My favorites are always your podcasts with Tina when you discuss new products or yarn lines.

My favorite lessons were the ones on lace. A close second, the podcasts that involved commentary on spinning.

The ones on entrelac and steeks are being saved for next year, when I hope to try both techniques!

Don't ask me for "a" favorite book. You've about doubled my knitting library, singlehandedly! They're all faves!

Congrats on 100 podcasts...many more to you! Thanks...and applause! r.

I love the podcasts when Kelley makes non-knitting book suggestions. I can't tell you how many I've listened to based on her recommendation that I may never have discovered on my own.
