What a fun podcast.

I love accumulating a few episode so I can have a substantial visit with my friends. You make me laugh. I enjoy listening about your progress on projects and the discoveries you share. Thank you.

Loganfool ,

I like this

I stumbled on this and decided to give it a go. Glad I did. I really enjoy it.

Lyntwhit ,

Fun!

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and the rapport between Pam and Greg. Feels like you’re sitting down with two good friends to knit, chat and hang out. I always want to go see pictures of all the projects they mention after I listen to an episode! It gets me excited to start new projects and/or join a knit-a-long. I also like that they are located in the South, which is helpful for us southerners who often feel geographically separated from the majority of the (mostly northern) knitting community.
