Thanks for showing the rose and giving the pattern. It’s so easy I’ll have to go try it soon.

I agree with Linda W’s earlier comment about the high quality of your show. (Go Eric!) There are so very few video podcasts out there and yours is by far the best as far as picture quality and smooth editing. That being said, I wish you would do a lot more demonstration shows for us visual learners out there. Rhinebeck is interesting and all, especially since I had never heard of it before, but you are so good at demonstrating new skills that I learn a lot and love to keep learning.

I’m an American living/working in Egypt. I decided to teach myself how to knit (not easy to do) to give me something to do over here. While on my last trip home, I bought an iPod, discovered your podcast and caught up on all past episodes in one weekend. I have since tried many things you demonstrated such as a wire beaded bracelet. I have a few suggestions about episodes I’d love to see; knitting with plarn, attaching a zipper or magnetic clasp to bags, or maybe about knitting in other countries.

Keep those episodes coming! (there’s nothing on Egyptian TV!)

Never knew it was that easy! Thanks.

BTW - wanted to mention something about the video quality…my husband does a ton of video editing, and happened to walk by one day as I was watching one of your podcasts. He was very impressed with the quality of the video, and actually mentioned that the entire podcast was very professionally done. Just wanted to let you know that your effort is very appreciated!

Thanks for the rose tutorial. Knitting flowers has been on my “things to learn list” for awhile. I’m going to make some half-sized roses and put them on a baby bonnet/sunhat. I think it’ll look very pretty.

You have asked for show suggestions and I would really like to see someone knit entrelac, as I can’t seem to understand the concept from diagrams in books. Also do you have some book suggestions that have a few entrelac pattern options - or maybe some that vary in the teaching method of the stitch. I am a visual learner and seeing someone knit it would help alot.

Thank you for all the effort you guys put in to making the show its really informative, enjoyable, and helps me feel connected with the knitting world.
