You get off topic…..friends like to know you better.

I’m fairly new to Podcasts, yours being the first one I ever watched and I’m so addicted it’s not even funny!! I’ve added many to my list of must watches and I’m finding myself being annoyed that everyone doesn’t post a new one everyday LOL.
I’m finding that I knit so much better while watching podcasts than TV so I decided to go back to the beginning and watch ALL of the old episodes. That being said, I think in your first podcast you said something about having a friend who knits to bounce ideas off and I agree that you are so lucky to have that. I do have an online knitting friend but we have yet to actually get together and I’m hoping that happens soon.
Sorry, I’m rambling, but I wanted to let you girls know how much I enjoy you and maybe one day I will get to meet you. Being in California we don’t have near the events that you do so, I have to live vicariously thru you.
Thanks again,
Debbie
