I have a question, you mentioned in this episode the dream store for US/Canada folks with tools and other goodies, can't remember the name, and I don't see a link? Sorry, I have a brain like a sieve. c Hi Brenda, as always you light up my week.

Also, I think you're very right about people and creativity, how people used to be creative and corporations have taken it away from us. I have a theory that people need to be creative or they go insane, that creativity is a fundamental human need. Knit on. You rock. :) Hi Brenda.

It is very good - well produced, well hosted and well done! Anyway, as a newbie knitter, I would really be interested in the idea of a "wiki"-type knitting resource. Especially since I google "free knitting pattern" over and over just to find the right ones. If we could have a place to go and find *all* of them. Wow. Not to mention the huge range of overall knitting knowledge. It's astounding to consider! Even though I'm a newbie, I am a grammar nazi, so if I can help in any way, please let me know. Here's hoping that so many people take you up on your donation suggestion that you can't name them all at the end of your podcast! Brenda,

Ive listened to this episode and randomly picked the 'Bling' episode and related to it on a completely different level... I am a 'suit' during the day (sorry no bling) and have started taking my knitting on public transport, it creates discomfort (especially if I am standing) amongst fellow travellers, as I am not doing what all the other suits are doing (mostly pretending they are not there) and now that I am listening to you on my iPod my travel is a welcomed trip each day.... thank you.

It's great for a bit of relaxation and I feel like I'm hearing from an old friend. By the way, it you are looking for mordants, Fibrecrafts have a range of them.

I listen to your podcast on my daily commute. I only wish I could listen to you every day, rather than just once a week. I know, that's selfish of me especially knowing how much work you put in to each and every episode. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks and let you know how much I enjoy listening to you. Hi Brenda,

I also wanted to say I loved your Bling essay. Travelling companions can make or break a journey--and it is precisely those thoughtless chatty people in the quiet car who don't think of others that can ruin a long trip...and there are some subtle implications when it comes to too much bling...to people in the diamond mines and others. I think the negative comment was, perhaps, a person who felt defensive? One last thing--I'm all for creativity, but as one of those designers/writers who is barely making it, I agree with the person who commented above about copyright. How do I keep my creations safe and earning some paltry amount for me without it? I'd love to hear about intellectual copyright from a lawyer's view, too... Thanks again for what you do.

It seems to me that there's always someone who will take offence when afforded the slightest opportunity and enjoy writing a comment to that effect. You rock.
