    Really enjoyed that Alana! Was nice to be listening to a current episode after catching up on all the old ones.

    Oh and my favorite Spud & Chloe has to be Splash.

    Hmmm, how hard would it be to size up your Chloe pattern for me :)

    I'm so excited that you're podcasting again! You've been a busy woman. I love the color Splash, but especially next to the chipmunk. Maybe one of your Chloe sweater in those two colors plus Ice Cream or Toast...

    I love all the colorways!!!!! But I guess my fav would be grass because I love that little frog that Susan B Anderson did & would like to make it for my son, you know, like when I have some free time ha ha ha :)

    It's so wonderful to hear your podcast again. I've missed you so. I'm in love with your Sheepish cardigan. I recently got a chance to look at the Spud and Chloe line in my LYS. I admired it for quite some time. I think my favorite color is Grass. It's so unique.

    Already looking forward to the next podcast.

    Glad to have a new podcast from you! My favorite Spud and Chloe color is Firecracker. I think it with Pollen and Rootbeer will make a great Chloe sweater.

    Also, thanks for the heads up on Petite Purls. I recently knit one of Allegra's patterns and am very happy to see that y'all have banded together for the cause of great tot knitting patterns!

    Hi Alana,

    It's so nice to hear your sweet voice again. Thanks for the great podcast.

    I like the color Pollen.

    Thanks again.

    Woolaphobic~ that's totally my mother! I haven't converted her~ yet!

    At first, Pollen and Splash were a toss up, but then Splash won. One of my fiber lovin' girls would absolutely love anything in that color. Maybe a Chloe would fit her with a little knitting magic. (She's a thin 14yo.)

    Thanks for another enjoyable podcast! Knitting is always more fun while you're listening to knitting talk!

    Welcome back from your break. We missed you but understand breaks are necessary. I can't wait to try some Spud and Chloe. Superwash wool and cotton! It must be great for babies.

    I couldn't decide which is my favorite color but it's between watermelon and grass.

    Yay! I discovered your podcast a couple weeks ago & listened to all of them in about 2 days. And then I missed you...& missed you...& missed you...

    And then I synced the computer with my zune last night & there you were! I'm so happy! You are my favorite podcast. I love the music & your stories & your listeners stories. Please never stop. :)

    Can I pick one of the fine yarns as my favorite? I'm going to attempt socks soon. I love Anemone! Whoever wins will be lucky. That yarn looks luscious.

    Melissa :)

    It's hard to pick a favorite color of Sweater, I love them all, I guess I'll say Lake for now! Do we get the chance to purchase additional skeins in the same dye lot if we win?? (I won't win anyway)

    I love listening to your podcast, I recently discovered it and have listened to all the old episodes, I'm looking forward to Season 3!

    I love your designs, I wish I could knit them for my daughter, but sad :( they grow up so fast..She's 17 now!

    Thanks for the review of Spud & Chloe. What a fun name for yarn. It definately sounds like something I would want to use for a garment because of the easy care. I love the popsicle color. Also, it was good to hear one of your stories again. Keep up the great work.
