hi meghan,
You mentioned in your podcast about trying a faire isle sweater. Check out this pattern: http://www.theraineysisters.com/ccount/click.php?id=6. It is called the Roslin Faire Isle Hoodie. I know you like hoodies for fall and winter and this is really cute. I am still contemplating knitting the CPH….we will see.
Just Love your podcast!
Chris
I love listening to your podcast! You are SO upbeat….. even when you’re “weepy”.
Oh, and I don’t like Romney either
Keep on “rambling”.
Jeanie
You’re so much fun to listen to!
I mostly listen to podcasts at work, I’m an actuary, so today you were with me while I ran some catastrophe modeling for the insurance company I work for!
I’ve just been listening to your podcasts. I really enjoy them. Something you said about spinning I stuck out to me. Like you, I am a new spinner. I also struggle with, “what should I know next?” Books can only get you so far. In some cases you really need someone who can “show you the ropes” so to speak. I”ve been hitting up the local guild meetings. Good Luck on your search.
BTW: How can you get all this done with a 2 yr old? I have a 20 month old. I was lucky to make it to the last guild meeting on time, let alone anything for their show and tell. I love this little guy, but he is definitely a challenge.
Hey.
I’ve gotten slightly behind on podcasts in general, but finally caught up on yours! I heard you mention the spinning retreat for Susan’s Fiber Shop. I’ve been debating about going to that too. I live on the eastside of Madison (in Monona) and her shop is about a half hour from here (and I think the hotel is a little further east). Anyways, tell me if you decide to go… maybe we can meet up
).
BTW.. Susan is really nice. I bought my wheel from her and she was very patient in showing me how to spin. I’m sure she’d be able to show you anything you might care to learn!
I got my heated mattress pad for Christmas this year, and I LOVE IT!!!! My video-game-playing-husband is a fan of the dual controls on it, too.
I found your podcast when I was looking for something to listen to other than the sounds of guys being shot on the video game Chad plays
