    I think the color you chose for your hat and gloves is great. O
    Another great podcast and story.

    I love the superior spruce colorway.

    Another great episode! I love the Made In Brooklyn booklet- when it came in at my LYS I had to have a copy ASAP- and almost everything got queued on Ravelry immediately. The Seneca sweater is my post-holiday project this year for sure!

    Hi Alana! Thanks for another great podcast. You're funny when describing how you get nervous about meeting celebrities. I'd likely react the same way.

    Anyway, I have been drooling over the mitten patterns for a while now and am considering making the beret you made, too.

    I really love the Tawny Chestnut colorway, Like you felt about your yarn choice, this one makes me think of Fall.

    Great new podcast episode! I love that you are sponsored by such great websites that they offer you a promotion code for your listeners. It enables me to try new yarns I might not otherwise buy. :)

    I love the Genteel Grey colorway on the Classic Elite Princess. I seem to be on a grey kick lately. Grey reminds me of comfy warm pjs. So I guess it gives me a cozy feeling. :)

    I'd be starstruck with Jared too! He's coming to my LYS this weekend but I'm going to be out of town. If I'm lucky enough to be picked, I like the Cotes du Rhone color...

    Thanks for the great episode. I am about to start "Beaumont" from Made in Brooklyn. I, too, love that book and have lots of projects from it in my mental queue. For your drawing, it is hard to chose but I love the Tawny Chestnut as a potential color to make Laurel. :)

    The colors of that yarn are amazing. The Milord's Madder is so rich but I think the Orange Attitude is my favorite...maybe just because of its name :o)

    This was my 1st podcast and definitely not my last. I have made the Beaumont Tam for my daughter out of a shall we say more washer friendly yarn (she loves to felt stuff in the washer) but want to make one for myself out of the Fresco but now maybe I need a Laurel with mittend out of the Royal Red.

    What a great show Alana. That knitting story was superb. And I loved hearing all about Jared. I would have felt the same way as you. The Princess yarn you reviewed sounds interesting. I have seen a colour that caught my eye - Majesty's Magenta. How regal!

    Love Jared Flood's designs too. OT - I have your Cedar Leaf Shawl pattern, and am waiting until the Handmaiden Lady Godiva is available in that wonderful green shade again.

    Lucky you, meeting Jared Flood! I'd be all awkward and tongue-tied too. Another great episode and if I had to pick a skein of Princess I'd choose magenta. Thanks!

    Thanks for the lovely podcast. I'm in the middle of knitting the Quincy hat - was nice to hear that it looks even better in person than it does in the book!

    I love the spruce colorway

    I've been listening for a while but always drop by too late for the drawings!

    I love the "orange attitude". I don't own anything in that color yet, but I thought it would be a good occasion to give it a try and it would look awesome in "magenta", a color I like just as much. But I do have a few violet/pinky garnments.

  27. LaurenDecember 3, 2009 at 1:13 PM

    You know, I also bought the Quincy pattern and a skein of Rowan Cocoon for it!

    I love the Tawny Chestnut colorway. So wonderful for fall, even here in California

  28. Naomi RDecember 3, 2009 at 5:43 PM

    Thank you for introducing another great yarn. I'm rather fond of the Superior Spruce color myself. My SnB has declared January "me month" so I might have to pick up some of this yarn for MY project.

    Lucky you to meet Jared! Cobblestone is on my to do list for my hubby.
    I think your Laurel looks great. I love the Tawny Chestnut colorway of the Princess yarn.

  31. AndreaDecember 3, 2009 at 7:14 PM

    Brahman Blue and Majesty Magenta both look very pretty. Oh, a STRIPED laurel! Ah... that wouldn't go to well with all the cables and bobbles, would it? Anyway, lovely podcast! I have listed to all of your podcasts! :] Once I had "caught up" with NNK, I tried to find another... I have listened to stash and burn, and the knitmore girls. Yours is the best. Organized, and your voice is crisp and clear. love it. thanks for such a great podcast!

    Dear Alana, I'm the same way when I meet even LOCAL celebrities. "OMG! You're Bob from Bob's big burgers. I am SUCH a fan!"

    hehe
    Your hat/gloves are gorgeous. Gives hope to those of us wanting to try these projects.

    I love the Royal Red colorway too. thanks for opening the drawing. Good luck to everyone.

    Love, Angela in Italy

    Thanks for another great podcast. I would faint if I met Jared Flood in person. And I too, have a secret sweater fantasy shelf in my head. Every sweater I knit isn't quite right and it ends up in my dresser not seeing the light of day very often. I'll keep trying though and loving every minute of it!

    Pretty hat! An organization I belong to will be having a "Go Red" fashion show for the support of Women's Heart Health in Februray, wouldn't the Red yarn make a great hat for the show?!

    Love the episode and the podcast ... I am so with you about being a perfectionist! But rest assured, your hat is absolutely gorgeous ... as well as your pics of your hat!!

    Cotes du Rhone has to be my favorite color, it must be so pretty in person. The Princess yarn looks absolutely amazing to knit!!

    I've felt the same when meeting bloggers in person - too shy to say a word!

    The Princess yarn colors are all lovely - maybe the Tawny Chestnut would be my favorite? (Hard to say...)
