I'm embarrassed to say it describes me quite well. I'm trying to learn to relax, but I just seem happier when I'm busy! I just purchased the song from Jim's Big Ego. Thanks for turning me on to them!

I listen to them all day at work and just love your show Brenda. Chub Creek is now on my subscribe list and now Sage will be too. This is a fantastic show! I am patiently working my way through the lot of them. I started listening about two weeks ago. Sage, the piece about your mother was absolutely beautiful. You had me trying to knit through the tears and a call to my mother reminding her how much I love her. While my grandmother was more like your mother, it reminds me that I have the power to give my daughter these special memories and it makes me see how I can use the time we do take to work on projects and make them more meaningful and everlasting. Thank you both so much for the touching stories. You both paint life so clearly that there is no need for a picture .. it is already so very clear.

I hope you're still monitoring comments and will see this. May I say - Wow! Cast-On is amazing, so professional and interesting and warm and wonderful. It knits and rocks and makes me laugh and think and relax and feel good. At first, I felt a little worried about the guest casters. 10 seconds into Dave's cast and I was thinking, "Oh this is terrible. I need BRENDA!" but 30 seconds into it I was laughing my a&& off and 45 minutes into it I was thinking - "Damn! that was great!" and now I want to subscribe to Chub Creek too. Ditto with Sage - first one or two minutes, I was having my doubts - but by the time you got to the story about your mom I was already so rapt that I had sort of forgotten where I was (on Rte 1 outside Philadelphia, a very busy road that really should demand complete attention). Sage's essay about her mom was one of the most moving pieces of audio I've ever heard. (along with Brenda's essay about being On Gauge, which also had me weeping by the end. So, so wonderful.) So now I need to get Quirky Nomads, too. I am still working my way slowly through the back episodes - a wonderful treat. I will probably go into withdrawal when I get to the current episode. But then - hey I like audiobooks a lot too, and Edith Wharton is a particular fave .... so! we're set for a while. Brenda, you are awesome and you have great friends. And I bet you knit better than me, too. ;-) Thanks for being there. I’ve only recently started listening to Cast-On, and just now got through Episode 16.

You've certainly piqued my curiosity about crocheting. The picture of the sun hat made me say "I want to make one like that!" Hi Sage,

Thanks for filling in for Brenda for this episode. You’ve certainly piqued my curiosity about crocheting. The picture of the sun hat made me say “I want to make one like that!”

Brenda,
You’re missed but your friends have done a great job in your absence. Dave had me laughing out loud, Sage made me cry…I can’t wait to listen to Franklin!

Really enjoyable show with beautiful memories and lots of humor. Just what I expected. Thank you! Hey Sage -

It's my birthday, I've left the baby with Gramma and escaped to a coffee shop with all my knitting projects and a gigabyte of podcasts and the whole day stretching out in front of me. So here I sit and you get to the part about size 16 hook and tiny invisible thread and your eyes say Fuck. That. Noise. And I just started laughing hysterically. Out loud. In public. For no reason that anyone could see. And I couldn't stop. Holy moly. That was the best laugh I've had in a week. Thanks Sage! Love your show. I've been working through your archives and your voice has really become a lovely part of my day. I just had to pause my mp3 player and write a note about how you cracked me up!!
