Comment by Kelley Petkun on January 29, 2009 at 8:23am: Wow! Designbee, what a kind comment! Isn't it funny? We started doing more interviews because I thought people had to be bored listening to just me. Well, we received lots of notes saying that my "ramblings" were much appreciated! Well, I can certainly talk about knitting and spinning a lot so we are moving back to the original format. But, I am still going to do interviews because I selfishly love being able to chat with people I admire. Just not so many interviews.

Thank you for your concern but we have thick skins around here. And, we actually appreciate the critism, constructive and otherwise, because we learn more from out mistakes than from what we do well.

Hugs,
Kelley

Comment by Designbee on January 21, 2009 at 11:15am: This is my favorite format for your podcasts, and what hooked me initially. I love hearing about your knitting, your travels, your book reviews, and your thought-processes for starting or organizing projects. It's like being in the room with you and chatting over a nice cup of tea. I'm anxious to hear more great podcasts and knitting tips in 2009. BTW, I love your products and the speed at which I receive my orders. You've had a lot of ranting on the ravelry group and I don't believe it's at all warranted. Some people are just unhappy in general. Don't let them upset anyone at Knit Picks. You are all terrific!

Thank you for your kind comment. Here's to another great knitting year!

Comment by silvianjoy on January 13, 2009 at 10:26am: I have enjoyed every podcast from the beginning, but this is by far my favorite. Your story telling, the cheerful, curious tone, the over-all pace, the excellent book reviews, it was so enjoyable from beginning to end! I love how you can be who you are, with no apologies or second-guessing. Thank you for continuing this great work! There is nothing like unwinding at the end of the day to your podcast and whatever is on the needles. In the spirit of Brenda Dayne's comments last year - start as you mean to go on - I look forward to another great year with your podcast.
