    Hi Alana,

Ripping out helps to complete projects and created an even greater level of knitting satisfaction. There really is no shame!!! Try it again, you'll see, it's not so bad. Keep the podcasts coming. Thanks.

    Thanks for sharing your knitting woes. I appreciate hearing about the good, the bad, and the ugly not because I wish folks pain but rather because that's how we as humans grow. IMHO anyway. If things were always perfect, where would the learning come from? When the time is right, I believe you will know how to move forward.

    This book sounds brilliant and I would be honoured to win it!

She is a master knitter, so I always try to remember her words even though I also hate rip. I have to remind myself that I will never be happy with the finished object if I don't fix the error - now. Great podcast, as always!

The price to pay for a super lightweight wool garment? If you think Shelter breaks easily, check out loft, just sneeze and it breaks off the needle...Looks like another great collection.

Thanks to you I now have about 400 new (well, to me) patterns, yarns, and designers in my "favorites" on Ravelry. I'm really happy you continued podcasting. It has been most entertaining. Did I mention I'm not yet a knitter? (Yet.)

    I found this podcast back in February and I finally caught up to the most current episode. I've loved every minute of it. This is a completely awesome idea for a book!
