Hi Kytnbit,

Thank you for your note. My current addiction is The Splendid Table from National Public Radio. Give it a try.

I starting (from 1) listening to the podcasts, about 2 weeks ago, I finished and after listening to a few more, have discovered that I really really like this one. I've caught myself chuckling a loud (not uncommon) and catching other unaware. :) I am however, starting to go through withdrawal ;( lol. The interviews and book reviews have been extremely informative and helpful. Thank you so much.

I really enjoy listening to your podcast, Kelly. Thanks for your time and effort. It is much appreciated over here in Australia. I have not been knitting long but you have been a great help. When My mum was alive she knitted beautifully and at the time I did not appreciate the love and effort she put into her projects ... I now know ... and thanks to you I am learning more and more. Thanks Kelly... You are very easy to listen to and you have taught me a lot.

I will admit that I am still new to knitting socks, and have only finished 2 pair. Both by doing 2 socks on 1 circ (and with knit picks yarn of course). And I am a little bit addicted, already searching for the next pattern that I want to try. So I was really hoping that this podcast might have gone more indepth about how to change a pattern for dpn's to 1 circ. because I haven't tried doing it yet. Both pairs of socks have come from patterns that were in the book that I learned the magic loop from. Other then that, I love this podcast and look forward to getting it on Itunes every week.

Thanks for your podcast! You were right about all of the benefits of magic loop, but you missed my favorite reason to give up the extra needles. Before I discovered magic loop knitting, my little knitters-in-training used to sneak up on me, grab one of the non-working DPNs (or the second circ), and pull the thing right out before I knew what they were doing. Toddlers are faster than they look!
