"Koigu Elizabeth Zimmerman Pie Shawl Extravaganza"

SWOON. Oh my, what a beautiful combination of words. Now I can't WAIT to listen to the show!

Can't wait to listen (and will let you know what I think then), but the iTunes button didn't work. I found it in iTunes when I searched for Knit podacasts, though, so I'm guessing there's something wrong in the middle.

Whoo hoo! I get to be the first person to comment AFTER listening to the show TOO! Wheee!!!

You guys went with me as I drove to school this morning. It was like having a hysterically fun chat with two friends while I was driving. Seriously, if I had had your phone number, I would have called you then and there to comment back on things you were saying. I loved it THAT much.

You already know about the sound issues, and it sounded like you resolved them with the addendum recording at the end of the show. Now I really, really, really want to come to Philly to knit with you guys and Grace in person. Can we go to the pub afterwards? And can we go to Rosie's to visit the Koigu? I need Koigu.

I can hardly wait for the next show!

(Oh, another tip ... open these comments up to others, as non-Blogger users probably won't register just to comment. And we all know how good the comment love is...)

Wendy! You ratted out Knitty D!
Don't feel bad, ladies. Yarn diets are for suckers!

You both sounded GREAT! I love the show, keep it going!

Oh, and I'm *so* with you on the lace thing. Philly Summer O' Lace.

What fun! I love the dynamic between the two of you.

And Folk Shawls - "much loved but not much knitted" pretty much describes my life. I think it was the first knitting book I ever bought, and it was years before I ever made anything. There's just something magical about that book . . .

What a great show! You guys went right to my bloglines; can't wait for the next one.


I loved "Fast and Wrong" as it is way to familiar to me!

I'm tempted to go pick up "Folk Shawls" now. I'm pretty lace-phobic too, maybe I can get past it! :-)

Ive been reading Wendy's blog for a while now and I really liked the podcast. Its the first Ive actually subscribed to. As a previous poster said; just like chatting with friends. (except Im not so quiet with my own friends!)

I look forward to the next episode.

Too bad you guys are in Philly...webs is having a big sale. I scored big. Love your 'cast, but turn down the music. I almost hit another car after some dialog which I turned up to hear, when the music came on LOUD. Try something besides a shawl (said while wearing a mohair shawl from XRX Ponchos and Wraps)
Also, please feel free to give some honest (not mean spirited) reviews. It doesn't help anyone to give something 4 stars if it is a 2.5 but lots of publications do that all the time. I would like to know if the size range is limited or the pattern consistantly overestimates yarn especially if I am mail ordering.
I enjoyed listening to your show but fix the sound.

I did really enjoy your podcast. There some issues with the sound (as you know), but otherwise, I did enjoy the banter between the both of you, and your knitting translated well in an audio medium. I am a Philly knitter too (although languishing in the 'burbs...) and enjoyed the local-ness of it. Fast and Wrong was a great segment, as well as the yarn Sluts. Also, there is no link that I could find anywhere on the Rosie's site to purchase the Half-Pi Shawl...I'm going to call and get it! Congratulations to the both of you.

I am cracking up. I'm not done the episode yet, but great job. I'm laughing at your intro. I'm a small animal veterinarian who spends a lot of time talking to elderly widows whose 23 year old sole-companion feline friends are about to bite the big one, or who need a little help in that regard. And I knit. So. Yeah.

Did anyone tell you guys you sound like Shonda and Betsy from the Grey's Anatomy podcast?

Oh, yeah, and I'm in the Philly area too :)
