Thank you Auntieface!

I have a bad habit of calling them Essential. I will put a correction in my next podcast.

In this post Kelly mentions 2 sock books by Charlene Schurch, but the titles are wrong I believe. I've listened to that part a couple of times to make sue that I was hearing correctly. The books are Sensational Knitted Socks and More Sensational Knitted Socks, not Essential Knitted Socks and More Essential Knitted Socks. I didn't want someone who is looking for these books to get confused.

This episode has got to be most informative information I've ever heard or seen on slipped stitches! Great Job!

Kelly,
When Elizabeth Zimmermann discovered her first Bohus sweater, she did state that it was made using purl stitches and slip stitches. Recent research has revealed that slip stitches are not used in a true Bohus sweater.

Kelley, you've done it again! Great podcast. I enjoyed hearing about your spinning, of course, but it was also great to have my misconceptions about mosaic knitting corrected. (I always thought it was just a way of avoiding holding one yarn in each hand when doing two-color work, and involved a lot of time wasted in slipping the sts you could just as easily knit.) Now I'll have to give it a try. I couldn't believe my luck when I logged on to the website, and the podcast had just been posted. Rocky and Sunny send their doggy greetings to Xena! Thanks again! --Peggy
