I just wanted to let you know how happy it made me to see the Schaefer Yarn in this episode. Schaefer is a local dyer in my area, and I love going to their outlet (which I recommend if you find yourself in the Finger Lakes area). Since I am going to be moving out to Wisconsin soon, I have already told my partner that I am going to be breaking my yarn diet to stock up on Schaefer’s sock yarn before I head out to the mid-west. (It doesn’t count as breaking the diet if you are stock piling for a starvation period, right?)
Love your show, it always makes me laugh and puts me in a good mood even after the worst of days at work.
Happy knitting!
Where in Wisconsin are you moving to?
Loved your podcast and so excited you got Susan B. Anderson for SSK! It was fun to realize you visted the Woolly Lamb and the Quilt Shop in Pennington…that is my LYS and my area…welcome to NJ. There are several other LYS’s also in the area…try Princeton and also New Hope, PA, too! Great show!
Another great episode. You are really getting the sound an split screen well coordinated! Nice job!!
