This is the first time I've listened, and I really enjoyed it! I would love to make animals for my boys. I'm ladydisdn on Ravelry.
Knitted animals will always be beyond adorable and a little zoo even better!
I've made a fox already, now to fill out the rest of the menagerie.
That looks like such fun! Thanks for the chance to win. Johnston4kids on rav

I have been knitting on and off for about 8 years. Just this past week I met a gal at my Zumba class that was talking to a friend about knitting. Her inspiration encouraged me start listening to podcasts. During my search I came across Never Not Knitting and was instantly inspired. It is encouraging to hear that setbacks do occur while doing projects. Recently I heard about Stitch Midwest Conference in IL and I am excited to attend in August of this year. This will be my first Knitting Conference and I am very excited to experience the many workshops and to learn new skills. I am excited to be entering my first drawing for the book on the zoo toys.

What a cute book. I love all the little animals that can be made. Makes me wish I was still a child. Savannagal on Rav.
The new Botanical Knits book sounds terrific! I love the idea of knitting a zoo, too.
Rav: caffeinatedyarn
What a fun book. I just blocked Entagled Vines so am ready to cast on something new!
I'm looking forward to the new botanical knits. The zoo looks so cute.
Animals! I love knitting toys, and animals are always a win with me. I haven't been to the zoo in forever, mostly because I've moved away from where I grew up and I just don't know if I can find a place in my heart for a new zoo. Also my dog would be horribly jealous if I saw the elephants without him! I'm on Ravelry as k8sx.
That looks like an adorable book!

Listened to all of your podcasts in order the last few days to play catch up, and gotten quite a few hexipuffs and a pair of socks knit. The first few episodes, I wondered if I should maybe point you in the direction of the beekeepers quilt when you mention little scraps, and then I hit the episode where you started it! :) I haven't looked through this book yet, mostly because I'm on a book diet, but hmmm....if it was won from a drawing....it'd be rude not to accept, right? :3 sontsunami06 on Ravelry
