CAT, The word MEASURE is spelled wrong on this episode. Loved the episode and didn’t want the misspelling to distract from all the valuable information. Is it too late to fix it?? Myra
Typo is now fixed! Thanks Myra for pointing it out.
Hey! Like I remember that tune, eh! I bet I could probably still find the vinyl album at my mom & dad’s!! What teen memories – listening to Bob & Doug while doing the dishes with my brother – distract us from fighting, eh. G’day, eh!
Hi I’m not sure what is wrong but one can’t download your new episode…
I know you don’t always put the links on your windows media or ipod pages for awhile but I can’t even access the file via itunes which I have tried last night and tonight and it’s not showing up at all and the last episode showing is 72. Thanks for making a wonderful video cast that I enjoy very much.
Loved this episode! I have never really known how to block lace and now I do! Thanks so much for all the information you give in your episodes! 🙂
I have to say that every time I see a new episode listed in I-Tunes I get giddy! I love everything about the show and I am glad to see the bloopers at the end. Keep up the great work! I am in the middle of knitting a lace project so I will heed your advice!
Hi, Cat and Eric! It’s fun to be mentioned in you video, thanks (you pronunced my name correctly, not many do that). Looking forward to your next one aswell as the DVDs. I think I’m going to try my hand at lace for the first time, now that I know how to block.
Have a nice day and keep up the good work, you both truly inspire me to continue knitting!
Of course I know that song…..Bob and Doug Mackenzie are Canadian icons. You can’t be a Canadian and not know the call of the great white north.
So do you play “Beer Hunter” too?
LOL, not in a while, but we used to.
From episode #82. I started making baby sweaters for all of my co-worders when they have babies. This year has been very fertile in southwestern Michigan, to date I have knit 18 baby sweaters, in addition I have knit two childrens sweaters, a scarf, a shawl, and four market bags, for a total of 26 projects. Now I need to start on Christmas gifts!
