    Hi Alana, you made me smile talking about your new project! I looked at the pictures...think you could even knit it as double knit.
    Recently I made 10/stitch blanket and used up lots of leftover yarns and my handspun. I lined it and my family is happy with it.
    Thank you for the giveaway!

And I love to tell the stories about where the leftovers came from. She also likes to pick out the squares from her own socks. :)

    Today is my daughter's 12th birthday. As she chose to play in the park with her friends rather than with me I got chance to pull out her "heirloom" project to work on while catching up with podcasts. I laughed out loud when I heard that you too had been stung by the hexipuff bug! Mine was always planned to be a long theme project and as a memory quilt for her to take away to University. I am glad to har that there are others as sentimental and obsessed as I am ! Welcome to the club!

    Happy New Year!

    I have resisted the lure of the Beekeeper's Quilt for so long. Yet as I listened to you talk about it, I found myself calculating how many hexipuffs I would have to make a week in order to finish the quilt this new year. Then I consider that I live in South Texas & seldom have a need for such a heavy blanket.

    I think I'll do some little log cabin squares instead.

My little 2 year old has been tossing them around the house. They are a hit. I loved what you said about how they could be a scrapbook of all my knitting. That is exactly how I'm going to look at it when it's done.

    Today was the first time that I have listened to your podcast. It was great - and I LOVE the Knit Red book! I laughed out loud listening to the song at the end of your podcast. Is there somewhere to download that song? I really need to play that for my knitting peeps!

    Good luck with your beekeeper's quilt! It's such a beautiful (if intimidating) pattern, and I know you'll have an heirloom soon.

    I'd love to win one of these knitting books, especially Knitting Clothes Kids Love because I'm having my first baby in April.

    Thanks for sharing another great podcast, Alana. I loved the segment on your hexipuffs. I found it especially touching when you described how these puffs each represent various items you have lovingly made for others.
    Looking forward to the next podcast!

    As a designer myself, and a (Former) eager knitter, I can appreciate your guest story teller's story.I'd also love a copy of the Knit Red Book. And...the Bee Keepers Quilt? Well, I must say, you painted quite a picture and encouraged me to dig out the pattern I had purchased months ago, and begin my own qwest to compete the hexipuffs. Thanks!
