Comment by Kelley Petkun on January 12, 2009 at 3:55pm: Hi Mary,

I cannot say enough good things about the Kindle. Our trip to Australia was the first long trip with my Kindle and it was perfect! When I was settled down for several hours, I could read an involved, history book. When we were having a leisurely breakfast, I simply switched to a lightweight, cozy mystery.

Comment by Liz on January 2, 2009 at 3:37am: I loved this podcast! Do more like this -- tying in literature or historical amusements -- Happy New Year!

Comment by imknitting on December 18, 2008 at 7:28am: This was a wonderful podcast. I especially loved the poems! Thank you for listing the novels for us. I read Death by Cashmere and the Friday Night Knit club - both are fun reads.

Comment by redeemed on December 15, 2008 at 12:26pm: I miss Xena's goodbye bark too!!

Comment by happy knitter on December 14, 2008 at 9:19am: How I enjoy my time with you! As we head to south Texas for the winter I have packed up my Harmony needle kit, cables and all. I have a group of DAR ladies, throughout Illinois, who are knitting ski mask helmets for our National Guard in Afghanistan. To help them understand Bonnie Long's pattern I had my husband make a DVD of me knitting one.---How do you like the Kindl? Am considering one. Mary Russell Muchmore

Comment by Peggy Stuart on December 11, 2008 at 10:03am: I love your podcasts! Thanks for mentioning spinning from time to time. I'm just learning, but I'm enjoying it. Thanks also for the list of books. I like to listen to audiobooks while I'm knitting or spinning, but I run out of ideas. I hope you have a safe, fun trip to Australia. (By the way, Xena knows you're going!) Keep up the good work. I think yours is the best knitting podcast. --Peggy
