davisjan58 ,

So good!

Just listened to your 300th podcast! I really look forward to your podcast. I appreciate the reviews of patterns and yarns and I end up looking them all up. I love the ambient noises, especially the birds and hearing your descriptions of them. Thank you so much!

Old and new, all terrific

I’m listening to the old shows and the new ones, sometime soon I’ll be caught up. It’s like being with friends, knitting and chatting. All are well done, interesting, educational, and all fuel my passion for knitting.

Playing game ,

New listener!

I’m a new subscriber to your podcast and I’m enjoying it. I decided to start at the very beginning (2012) to get a good understanding of your show and how you all first began. It is awesome to see how two friends can make a great show with a common craft.

I’m a knitter as well and I’m excited to listen to your podcast!
