Great Show! I missed you saying, “Hi, I’m Cat, Let’s knit 2gether.” 😉
Hope you both had a wonderful holiday and a safe and happy new year.
I love your interviews. Thank you so much for providing them.
I haven’t bought anything from YarnMarket.com yet, but I’ve been on a bit of a yarn diet. Once I do go back to buying stuff, I plan to look over there first. This is such a great podcast, and I love supporting sponsors of my favorite podcasts.
I love the bloopers at the end of the show,and love watching, wish the epi were longer.
we love the one stop shop at yarnmarket.com. will be going there again.
I haven’t bought anything “yet” from Yarnmarket.com but definitely plan to. Thanks for the reminder. I’m off to go snoop right now to see what I can spend my Christmas money on!
Ordered 2 sets of Addi Turbo Lace needles based on your recommendation. I’m knitting the Nachaq from your Alaska episode for my mom. I couldn’t help but buy a few skeins of yarn to add to my stash too!! It’s my first time purchasing from Yarn Market and I wouldn’t have even known about them without your show… THANKS 😀
Have a Great New Year 😀
Thanks for that interview. The very first lace project I ever knit was one of Jackie’s patterns, and I don’t think I would have been daring enough to even try lace if her pattern hadn’t been so accessible and clear (as well as beautiful). It opened up a whole new world of knitting for me. It was wonderful to see her talking about herself and her designs in your show.
I don’t think I have ordered from Yarnmarket in the past year, but I have definitely window shopped at their site several times and that is totally due to their sponsorship of LetsKnit2gether!
I have bought from Yarn Market in the past, and will in the future… cept I am on a hiatus from stash enhancement. Gonna try to not buy until Maryland Sheep and Wool. A goal, but trying not to be over zealous….I have a lot in my stash to choose from and keep busy with.
