This is the first of your podcasts that I have heard, but I shall be going back to listen to all of them. I was very sorry to hear that you had been ill. I do hope that you are much better now. Sadly, I do think I have any Welsh in me. I live over the border in Cheshire. But both my daughters have been to University in Wales (Aberystwyth and Glamorgan), and both have a wide circle of friends there. I love your choice of music. Thanks yet again, Mandy. Brenda,

It truly shocks me every time I hear your podcasts, because you have SUCH eclectic tastes in music and, happily enough, my own eclectic music tastes are greatly enriched by yours. I just got done listening to this 'cast, and OMG, Enter The Haggis is CRAZY amazing! I may have to beg my partner to let me download the two albums they have on iTunes, and then beg MORE to buy the other three albums of theirs that aren't on there! We also, evidently, share a luff of Jonathan Coulton as well, and I giggled like a madman when you played Skullcrusher Mountain (though, I would suggest First of May, but probably never on-air). :) I've been listening to you (though I've never commented) for about nine months; you were my first podcast ever, and I'm seriously not anywhere near looking back! I'm deliriously happy every time I see that iTunes is downloading a new Cast On for me to enjoy. Thank you thank you thank you for all the hard work you put into this podcast. It makes my day go so much better when I have a new Cast On to get me through it. :) Brenda, darling dear FABULOUS woman… It truly shocks me every time I hear your podcasts, because you have SUCH eclectic tastes in music and, happily enough, my own eclectic music tastes are greatly enriched by yours.

This new show has a very different "feel" to it than earlier ones-a bit like a variety or ensemble show. I think I'll like it..I liked the background musics set to each piece-it added to giving more variety. I'd been thinking, "heh, maybe if a few of the community could help support Brenda, the show could keep coming out"-looks like others had that same great thought. love it, love it, love it Susan, in Wisconsin So marvelous to hear your voice-and know that this means you continue to feel better!

This time, however, though the talkie bits were as wonderful as usual, the music was so good that I didn't fast forward through one note! Here's a big clack of the needles to you, Brenda, for your stellar music choices. Clack-Clack-Clack-Clack. Normally, I like the talkie bits of Cast On so much that I fast forward through the music.

I am a beginner knitter and everytime I listen to your podcast I get all excited. "No Sheep for you" is also very good for Vegan knitters. My ancestors were from Wales and I want to visit SO bad. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. Chinle Hi, Really glad you are back. I am a beginner knitter and everytime I listen to your podcast I get all excited.

I hope you continue to feel better! I have one simple trick for knitting with a very dark-colored yarn. If you wear black or dark pants or skirts a lot, part of what makes knitting with dark yarn so hard is the lack of contrast between the work and the background. So what I do is just lay a white pillowcase (or hand towel, or whatever) across my lap. Ta-da! Contrast! It's much easier to see what you're doing. Thanks again for your podcasts! Here's to more really good days. ~Rachel Brenda,
