    I love listening to your podcast! I'm so sad it's already time for a break! Thank you for the awesome give away. I haven't knit a sweater yet because I'm scared. I think a baby sweater would be the perfect way to start. Also I am IN LOVE with that yarn! Wouldn't it be the coolest thing to find another skien that matches the creme/inside color and do some sort of design with the 2 so that when you walk out side, suprise!, there is the design!
