Comments on: Episode 34: Knitting Mash Up http://www.cast-on.com/?p=62 a podcast about knitting Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:24:11 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Naomi http://www.cast-on.com/?p=62&cpage=1#comment-20719 Naomi Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:45:18 +0000 http://www.cast-on.com/?p=62#comment-20719 Hi Brenda, I really enjoy your podcasts and while you are on your hiatus I have been going back and listening to the older ones. You mention Briar Rose yarns often and I was curious about them but when I google I come up with a couple different website options. Which one is it? As a pretty new knitter I try to take advantage of the experience to be had from the more experienced such as yourself. I learn so much from listening. I honestly just learned recently that the more expensive yarns really are different to knit with. I always believed that the cheaper acrylics like red heart were really just the same.

Did they ever become reality? If so, where can I find them? Thanks, Norma Hi Brenda, I’ve searched and searched for the t-shirts!
Did they ever become reality? If so, where can I find them?
Thanks,

I’m going to use the Orangina pattern as a base, but replace the stitch pattern with Japanese Feathers. It’s a bit of a mash-up, for those of you who listen to Cast On.

(Just kidding, of course). Dangle the idea of a Cast-On T-shirt in front of us, then make it unavailable. Ok, ok, so it's a technical problem -- but I HAVE to stop checking this website several times a day to see if the Cafe Press shop is up yet! And, you have to know that I am someone who NEVER spends her small amount of discretionary income on T-shirts. I'll go to the thrift store for clothes, I'll bring my lunch from home (even when all we have at home is peanut butter on stale bread) but ALL my extra cash goes for yarn. Seriously. I am making an exception in this case. I need your T-shirt, and will be to first to buy it when the Cafe Press store goes up. Thank you so much for your podcast. It is a gem and has spoiled me for pretty much all other knitting podcasts (except Knitty D and the City -- they are so funny -- you are the 3 square meals a day, they are the decadent dessert that you sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to eat). I consider myself a Frenda Brenda in my sane moments and a Dayniac when I'm off the wall. You rock, you're the best, I love ya. Thanks for every single week. Brenda, you are sooooo mean!

Actually, I was in the UK, not far from Wales, this summer, and I thought to myself "I should meet up with Brenda!" and then I thought to myself "Or not. She's never even heard of me. She would probably find that very creepy." Podcasts are funny. I feel like I know you and Sage Tyrtle, but then I suddenly realise that I don't.

I'm just now listening to the knitting Mash Up - 'cause you know, I can't catch up, because if I caught up then I might be in danger of running out! - anyhoo - I love it! I think I got chills with the Stand by Me Sting song, and your adventures with scarves - so fun. You really need to take a stab at knit design since you do all this modifying (in your free time? ha!). I know you'd have a blast, and the mash is definitely the place to start. xox, J Brenda!

Great show! Now, “mash-up” knitting – I think that’s what usually is called “designing”…

Don’t be too modest!
