All of them!!! I think I got addicted to knitting because I found the Knit Picks podcast when I was first teaching myself. Listening to Kelly so excited about her craft is so infectious and encouraging. If I get stuck on a technique, I find the podcast that relates to it and get and new energy to try and tackle it! Thanks Kelly!. Here's to 100 more!

I don't know if I could pick just one! I recently discovered your podcast and have gone through them all.

My favourite ones are when you talk with other staff members. Knitpicks sounds like such a fun place to work! Any with Tina, the dye your yarn with Melissa, the Moms... and the weaving in ends.

Happy 100th episode! Keep on making them!

I wish I had more time for hearing them all the time.

I was late to the party, so I haven't listened to all 100 episodes yet, but I really gained a lot from the ones on steeking. I have yet to start my first fair-isle steeking project, but when I do I'll be a lot less nervous about it thanks to you!

I have to say that what I have learned from this podcast is to leave my comfort zone and try new things. The very first podcasts when Kelly started a year with Elizabeth Zimmerman inspired me to get out of my knitting rut. I am learning new techniques and having more fun with my knitting now.

I really like the one that talks about how to knit in public and tells you how to deal with people's questions.

I really like it when Kelly talks about fiber and what different type of fiber are good and not good for. It has really helped me with my knitting and deciding what type of fiber to use.

My favorite part of the podcast is the book reviews. I also had been intimidated by steeking until I listened more about it on pod casts. I have successfully steeked a Lopi cardigan and now I moving on to a more advanced pattern that will involve a V-neck and armholes. Kelley you do a fantastic job interviewing designers! Keep on I-cording! I use the technique when ever I can. I use it to start small circular projects so I don't have to put it on 3 double points. Love the pod casts they really are informative and get me through the hours of cooking, cleaning and folding.

I have really enjoyed listening to the Knit Picks podcast, a hearty congratulations on number 100! My favorite subjects covered are the ALL of the books; knitting books, Kelley's Kindle adventures and the audio books. It is very interesting to me that there is such wide interest in Jane Austin and all things "Mr. Darcy."
I really love the interview with Charlotte Schurch, who is the reason I can custom make socks for my size 11 narrow feet and my relatives and friends whose feet are far from normal. She is the best!
The podcast has also inspired me to examine my stash and my UFO's. So many of my projects have been out of sight and out of mind. I also find myself wondering... what was I thinking when I bought this yarn!
Thank you for all you have done for us obsessive compulsive knitters.
