So happy to have you back! Listening as we speak. the book sounds great. Thanks for the giveaway. C
I loved your afghan story! I have a similar quilting story involving postage sized pieces of fabric that a friend thought I should turn into a quilt. It was her mother's UFO and she had recently died, and I knew how to quilt so obviously I was the one who should finish it. Argghh, before I knew what I was doing, my hand reached my hand out for the yellowed bag, gad, now I was in for it. I finally got the courage to give it back explaining it would probably never get done by me. I felt so guilty, but really, why should I? Oh dear, the things we do for love, right?
Okay, I'd like to add this book to my library! Thanks for the offer.

Great knitting story .

I am a new listener and absolutely loved your podcast. Even my ten year old son listened when you were telling the story of the afghan. Thank you so much for taking the time to entertain us!
Ooh hooray to podcasting! :) I completely understand the need for a break (my daughter was born in November as well...) but I enjoyed hearing you again. :)
I've heard terrific things about this book and it'd be lovely to add to my shelf! :)

I so enjoyed your podcast, Alana. It's great to have you back. I identified tremendously with the knitting story. People love to give me their family's crafting supplies but I am getting more discriminating about what I accept. Life is too short to work with materials I don't love.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I loved the garlic acrylic afghan story, those clever mice...
Rav: knitoncloudstreet
I'm so glad you're back. When I found out about your podcast I was thrilled and then two episodes later you announced you were done with it! The humanity! But I kept up with your blog and low and behold, you're back. Welcome, I'm thrilled again.
Your story made me laugh. It made me think about the time my friends mom-in-law wanted me to finish knitting a baby sweater that she had asked a lady in hospice to make for her grandson. She passed away right after she started the sweater. I was sure the request was what did her in. Luckily there was only about an inch of the sweater done so I was able to start over and not have to match gauge. Guilt, obligation and friendship will make you do crazy things!

Welcome back, I just knew you couldn't forget about us forever. Know that having a new child in the family is an adjustment, but they also provide excellent stories.

Welcome back and thanks for deciding to continue your podcast--I figured you were quite busy with your little ones and the aftermath (although good) of your successful book, Coastal Knits.
I'd love to win My Grandmother's Knitting as I grew up without knowing mine, other peoples' stories fascinate me, and of course, if they are knitting-related stories, well, so much the better!
--Loel (lkmemphis on rav)
So excited whenever I can listen to another knitting podcast!

So glad you're back and can't wait to see the Coastal Knits for Kids! ( : Thanks for the chance to win this great book - have been wanting to buy it... Stephanie (indigodogmt on Rav)
We are so glad you are back. Coastal kids is so exciting. It's the perfect way for me to make the sweaters and stash bust at the same time. They are gorgeous. So excited. The book review was fantastic. I've been interested in it since it contains some of my favorites. It would have been so amazing if you could have been in it too.
Hi Alana!
Thank you for starting up your podcast again. I started listen to the older episodes this winter on my way to work and sincie I've been living in Scotland I've a small scottish accent when I speak English. However after listening to your podcast on my way to work for a month or so a co-worker said I had changed my accent to more american/californian :-)))
Anyway, thanks for great patterns, great yarn suggestions and an inspiring blogg.

Thank you Alana for coming back to us! Happy to hear that baby and you are getting happier! I loved your acrylic story. I sometimes find myself in such situations and also take these "gifts" out of politeness. Your story really touched me.
I looked up the book on Amazon. I do love the projects in it and will keep my fingers crossed.
Thank you,
~ Iryna (iris68 on Rav)
SO glad you are back! I loved your story and feel for you for all that suffering. I have been in a similar situation that involved some ancient, bad mustard-colored yarn that I held onto forever before finally letting it go.

I'm so happy you decided to go on with the podcast. I only found your blog 3 months ago and saw the message that it would end with episode 60.
