    This book sounds perfect for me! I am casting on my first ever sweater for ravellenic games tomorrow and i already know I'm gonna be a seamless lady haha.

    Also me and one of my best friends are trekking over to Santa Clara from Spokane Washington to Stitches West and half the reason I wanted to go is so i can have you sign my copy of Botanical Knits in person. I cannot WAIT to meet you. You've been such an inspiration to me as a beginner knitter and your nature inspired designs are what have inspired me to grow and learn as a knitter (because omg all of those cardigans and sweaters with leaves! i MUST learn to make those!)

    Thanks for providing many hours of listening enjoyment as I knit and perform around-the-house tasks, Alana! You educate me and keep me entertained with your nuggets of knitting fun and wisdom.

    I love your podcast Alana!! It's always filled with useful information and I learn a lot just listening to you.

    Personnally I am a fan of seamless knitting, not only for the convenience of not having to stitch up pieces together but for the beautiful look of your finished product.

    I have to admit, I have never knit a sweater before, I guess I am too scared to make a mistake and have to unravel everything (I hate having to undo my work, but being a perfectionist I do it when I have to) but finding seamless sweater patterns online is a pretty big challenge!!

    Ahhh.. maybe if I keep listening to your podcast and looking at all the beautiful sweaters you make I will find the courage to start one -- and finish it!!

    Hi Alana, I'm a long time listener of the podcast and I love it. It was the first knitting podcast I found and definitely opened my mind to the awesomeness of knitting. Now I host my own podcast (www.pearlofthepacific.info/podcast) but still look forward to listening to yours.

    The book looks very interesting. I'm not much of a garment knitter and that is because I'm not a huge fan of seaming. This book would a great addition to my knitting library.

    I'm excited to listen to the new podcast. I save them for when I'm stuck in the car waiting for a train. It's like getting my knit fix without knitting. I've tried knitting but the train usually ends and I'm in the middle of a stitch, and darn those people behind me, they want to go and not wait for me to finish that stitch or row.
    I can't wait for the new patterns, I'm eyeing the brown rusty colored cardigan.

    Sorry if this is a duplicate comment - some kind of error loaded when I tried to publish the last one. I only recently (within the past year) discovered your podcast and have been really enjoying it. I really like the recommendations! I especially enjoyed this episode's story and have been thinking about the lessons from knitting this week as a few patterns have been testing my patience. I keep reminding myself that all a mistake means is more time knitting, nothing worse than that. My Ravelry username is monotropa.

    As a new pretty new knitter, I'm in slight overwhelm - there's so much out there! Yarns in all colors and sizes, patterns, ravelry, podcasts and blogs. Several friends I knit with listen to podcasts and have recommended a few. After listening to those, I searched to see what else was out there and found Never Not Knitting. I've added it to favorites. The knits on botanical knits are amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
