My husband is a RABID baseball fan, and I couldn't care less. When we go on vacation, we have to take in a ball game in every major league town we get anywhere near. We have all the baseball television channels, and all the baseball XM radio channels. We also have MLB.com hooked up to our flat screen television. I think you get the picture .... Anyway, I always take my knitting, stitch and pitch day or otherwise. My husband actually WATCHES the game, ALL the game, so he is not interested in making conversation anyway, so I get to converse with other people -- all the people who ask me what the heck I'm doing! Once when I went through security and they were checking my bag, the security guy asked me if I even watched the game. I answered him honestly: no. He looked up at my husband and said, "Well, at least she's honest." So knit on at those baseball games. Here's my hint for the game -- take a travel size container of baby powder with you in case your hands get sweaty, and ... stay well hydrated ... hehehe.

There are many other knitting podcasts but Cast On takes the lead. I enjoy hearing about where you live and the local customs. It seems knitting trends are universal. We have a knitting group where I live in South Alabama. On hot days we just crack up the air since we have summer weather almost all year. I laugh at one of my friends who will only knit in cool weather. If I waited for that I would never finish a project. That is what cotton is for! I am working up courage to start socks. Thanks for sharing the sock pattern. Best wishes, Donna Great to have you podcasting again. There are many other knitting podcasts but Cast On takes the lead.

I have to say, I am always pleasantly surprised that you keep it fresh all the time! I wish you had a running list of not only the music artists you have featured, but also the blogs and podcasts you mention. I know you can go to each episode, but having them in one place would be lovely. Thanks for all you do. I'm glad to have something to listen to while I work (and daydream of knitting). I had knit 2 sweaters, but frogged both of them (just didn't work for me) and am in the design stages for them. When I get them done, I promise I'll let you know...you're the sweater queen! Maybe in 2-3 years one will be a "today's sweater". :) Thanks again for the podcast. Brenda, I’ve been listening to ALL the podcasts (I’m so far behind…).

My hubby was less than thrilled and maybe even slightly embarrassed when, on accompanying him to the ballpark, I whipped out my needles and some gorgeous homespun and started stitching away. But now that he knows it is a sanctioned activity in the major leagues, he is much more comfortable with the whole thing. Our little team in the Northern League has wrapped for the season, but you can be assured that next May I will be sending out word to fellow knitters in the area for a stitch n' pitch.

I wonder if they set aside beer and peanut free sections for the knitters!

Love your podcast. I've been working on Print o'the Waves for my mom for a year now. It's not all that hard, I just have knitting ADD. Plus other things have come along that just HAVE to be done. I think it's a great lace pattern. I’ve been listening to you awhile. Love your podcast. I’ve been working on Print o’the Waves for my mom for a year now.

I totally had to check out the clock - I love me a gadget!! - and if you click on the tab at the bottom "buy online now" a price of 100lbs comes up. A pricey toy, but worth keeping in mind.

I hope this note finds you feeling well!! I too struggle with chronic illness and frankly, it sucks!! I take every good day I can!
