I have about 99 I could list, but if I had to choose only one, I think it would be Episode 99, because I would like to design my own in-the-round sweaters and other projects. If was the mention of spinning wheels and the Kromski Sonata in an early episode that led me to check out the Sonata, which is what I ended up with. I love the interview, too. I have a lot of great books in my collection because I hear the interview with the author. I also appreciate the information on good books to read or listen to while you're reading. That kept me sane when I was unable to knit. Thanks, Kelley! Don't stop...please! And kisses and apple slices to Xena! --Peggy

Comment by cellogirl on June 17, 2009 at 12:01pm: I like both of your I-cord podcasts--somehow, you make it more clear by talking me through this technique that's new to me!! I love--no, it's LOVE anything by Elizabeth Zimmerman--and her daughter Meg--true kindred spirits with her unventing!! What inspiration. I click on RSS feed and it's soooooo easy--and gratifyingly educational!!
