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.
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!
Enthusiasm and joy of knitting and crochet
This is my favorite knitting podcast. I am a fairly new podcast listener, only jumping on the bandwagon when I started knitting last year. Now, I listen to quite a few knitting podcasts along with other genres. What I love about Sharlene and Gayle is they have such enthusiasm for knitting. I alternate between listening to new episodes and going back to catch up on the years I missed and that enthusiasm has never waned, even through the rough patches in their lives. I love that they speak with kindness and they obviously like and support each other. They seem happy to be podcasting every week and that energy comes through. They are also knitters with a capital "K" and I learn something from each episode. Thank you, Yarniacs, for being bright voices in podcast-land!
