I am so glad you are feeling better. Thank you for your style of Podcasting. I especially enjoyed being with you when you were dyeing. The interviewee was especially good. I have considered making that same sweater myself but time being an uncontrolable, valuable commodity, perhapse I will make it when I am 70. Drawing my name for the book would be that much better but, well, you know…

Thanks for sharing your adventures with me.

Here is an example of what I would call Extreme knitting:

It’s Susan from Lancashire again, thanks for the Procol Harum, I was 6, and I’ve loved getting reacquainted with it.

Dear Brenda,

slowly catching up on your podcasts, having only just discovered them.
I wanted to bring to your attention a wonderful, wonderful husband and wife team, Dee and Tony who dye wonderful, fabulous yarn.

I am expecting some fantastic yarn this week myself from Dee. And Dee and Tony are in South Wales, not a million miles away from you.

Do drop by her web site and blog.

Yours from Lancashire,
Susan

Oh my god, what an amazing song and singer: Imperfectly Perfect by Katy Pfaffl. Thank you so much for that diamond in an already wonderful hour.

Hi, I donated via Paypal on Sept 5th but haven’t gotten the Bro Amos sock pattern yet. I tried to send an email but it kept coming back to me undeliverable. Let me know if I’m doing something wrong. Love the podcast, keep up the great work. Thanks for the inspiration.

The choice of music, is awesome, as per your usual. Code Monkey was a hoot.

Hanging out in the great room, lap top blasting this episode, my youngest child, 14 yo, comes out of her room and asked what I was listening to. Ah-ha, someone new to tell the story of podcasting. I had her listen to Code Monkey and told her about the pod safe music network.

Great episode…thanks!

Hi Brenda

Just listened to episode 54 – a great one.
I like your campfire memories, having been a Guide and Guider it’s where I learned to enjoy making things – my first pair of socks (probably aged 15) for my knitters badge and I’m amazed at the people I’ve met at sewing, crafting and knitting shows who’ve been involved with Guides at sometime in their lives.
My memory of A Whiter Shade of Pale is hearing it on the radio – my transisitor one – a present for passing my ‘O’ levels – with it on the radiator pipe for good Radio Luxembourg, Radio London or Radio Caroline reception one night.
Do persevere with Linux – I’m trying it but not entirely successfully either but i do like the idea of FOSS and the community are really helpful.

Many thanks for a really great show.

Hi Brenda,

Another great podcast! I was not a Campfire Girl, but the essay on Brownies hit home with me. It’s been a great trip down memory lane.

Thanks also for including Code Monkey, it’s one of my favorites from Jonathon Colton. He is a genius, by the way, and I am forever endebted to you for turning me on to him (via Skullcrusher Mountain).

Yippee! I think I’ve listened to every back episode. I am thrilled to have you podcasting more regularly and hope that it will nurture and inspire you. Friends have asked, “A podcast about knitting?” to which I reply, “Just wait until you hear it.”
