This message has nothing to do with this episode! I started in the middle then decided to go back to the beginning so I’m still catching up. I did want to tell you, however, how much I enjoy your show.
I live in Germany and don’t yet speak German fluently, so I listen to your podcast when I need to hear something I can understand and humor I can relate to. I like your personal stories, I like hearing about your knitting faux pas’s especially since I’m a beginning knitter and make nothing but mistakes. I also enjoy the creativity you bring to addressing those mistakes and have been inspired by them. I made a sweater that would have fit two of me, and I wouldn’t redo the whole sweater. After hearing an episode where you refered to a woman who cut up old sweaters and made pillows out of them, I decided to cut (gasp!) my sweater and sew it to fit. And it does! and I love it! I know it’s cheating, but I haven’t yet got the hang of knitting to fit.
I love your music choices so I went to the podsafe Music Network and came away with a huge appreciation of the amount of work necessary to find a few really good songs.
On a more global level, I am regularly touched by your interest in, and promotion of, all things creative, and your desire to connect with and create, the creative community.
Thank you again!
