I've also been frustrated in trying to find an easy elastic bind-off for toe-ups. Finally, I just said piss on it and grabbed a dpn 3 sizes larger than that with which the sock had been knit (i.e. knit with a US1, bound off with a US4) and bound off in pattern. It turned out nice and loose, and couldn't have been simpler! I am still catching up on your podcasts having just discovered them last month.

I just wanted to say woot for archeology! It is one of my big passions in life and hope to work with them in the future. I have been on digs, worked in the lab and the whole 9 yards. Its the most fun in the world. i loved the knitting/spinning connection with archeology in this ep of cast on. Keep up the awesome work :) anyway, lots of love from Australia oxox Hay, long time listener, first time commenter here. I just wanted to say woot for archeology!

So - lame stalkers? Pshaw. We were going to send you things nailed to meat, but the meat fell through (I blame the fake hickory scent). And I hate being self-referential, but we did put together a guide to stalking for Valentine's Day. Maybe it could help your future stalkers? http://theanticraft.com/archive/imbolc06/vd.htm As usual, I’m running a month behind listening to the ‘cast and catching up all in one day.

I also am a bit of an armchair archeologist, so to say. At Meg's knitting Camp last week several of us were discussing your podcast and also Chub Creek and could even quote some of the episodes. It was really funny that you became part of the camp experience! I'll be trying a toe-up sock next thanks to you, too! Knit on! Sara in WI Thanks for the great sock episode.

No, not knit covered styrofoam snowmen or beer can art (although those crafts do have their place in the craft-o-sphere). I’m talking about this emerging, sort of indie/hip/alternative, craft culture that seems to be popping up all over the place. I’m loving it big time….except for one little, tiny, itsy bitsy thing (it’s always that way with me, isn’t it?). I’m not quite understanding how vintage is always so cool and desirable, but I keep seeing phrases like “not your gramma’s yarn shop,” or not “your granny’s embroidery.” Huh? WTF is the difference? At first this was sort of an irritant…something I couldn’t quite define why I was bugged. Then, I listened to Brenda Dayne’s Cast-On Episode 30: In search of our grandmother’s rocking chairs. Penny’s essay really articulated some of those free floating thoughts I had on this issue. [...] [...] So I’m really starting to get into the whole crafting thing.

I've been enjoying your podcast for a while now. Really, it's great! One of my favs. I just listed to your most recent episode while I knit on my first ever tow-up sock using magic cast on and the widdershins pattern (the plain sock though). What a coincidence! I am eager to hear what you think of the pattern after you have completed it. Again, I really enjoy your podcast. Hi Brenda! I’ve been enjoying your podcast for a while now. Really, it’s great!
