    I’d love to see a demo on fair isle knitting. Your new hairdo is great, by the way !!!

  2. Rachel Ringdahl says:

    I would love to learn more about Fair Isle Knitting. I’ve never quite understood how it works.

  3. Karen says:

    That was a really fun episode. I loved seeing the Lion Brand Studio. As for the demo topics, I vote for Fair Isle too. One of my knitting goals for 2009 is to get over my fear of Fair Isle and colorwork!!

  4. RedfordPhyl says:

    Another neat episode. I’d like to see a demo on binding off toe-up socks. I seem to be stuck on EZ’s sewn bind-off.

  5. Guru Nam Kaur says:

    I really love your webcast. This was an especially fun episode. I’m interested in the demo for binding off toe-up socks. Thanks.

  6. Another good episode. I guess I will have to make that lace hoodie! I’d like to see some bind-offs for toe-ups.

  7. Debbi says:

    I would be excited to see binding off toe-up socks. I just started doing them myself and haven’t yet had to bind off and am hoping I do it right when I get there! (But know ALL the topics sound interesting! I just knew I had to choose one! Hopefully all of them air at some point!)

    Your shows are great, thanks so much for putting your effort into creating them! They’re definitely rays of sunshine on these bitter winter (sunless) days in Michigan!

  8. Elisa says:

    Hi Cat! Even though I’ve seen/listened to podcasts discussing Fair Isle, I’d love to see another. That’s one technique I have yet to try!

  9. Jamie Albritton says:

    I would like to see Fair Isle (actually Stranded) Knitting. I just started researching this type of knitting. I think I would like to try it. Thanks for all you do I really enjoy your podcast.

  10. Tommy says:

    Please do: Binding off Toe up Socks. I just can’t seem to get a sock to either fit over my heel or the sock just doesn’t stay up because the BO is too loose. HELP!

  11. nel says:

    loved your podcast. and i would love to see Fair Isle.

    greetings from the netherlands

  12. stebo79 says:

    I’d like to see you do some Fair Isle Knitting in one of the next episodes – including cutting!

    Greets from germany,
    Steffi

  13. Sandy K says:

    Fair Isle (Stranded knitting) please. Always good to see and to try a variety of techniques. Thanks!

  14. Liz says:

    I think Fair Isle Knitting would be a good one to start with, followed by the others of course!

    Love your podcast.

  15. Connie says:

    I love your new haircut! I’d love to see Fair Isle in one of your upcoming episodes.

  16. Teddy says:

    My toe-up socks are also a struggle to get over my heel, so I vote for binding off socks, but the Fair Isle topic is a VERY close second! Either way, I can hardly wait!

  17. Marie Horkey says:

    I”d like to see the bind off for the toe up socks.

  18. cdnbull says:

    I would love to learn more about Fair Isle please! Thanks

  21. Love the show! I would love to see a fair isle demo. Keep up the great work 🙂

  22. Robbie W says:

    I am all for the fair isle demo.

  23. Anna says:

    Hi! Love this video podcast! I’d love to see binding off toe up socks! I”m about to do my own pair.

  24. Emma says:

    I’d love to see fair isle.

  25. Cynthia says:

    I’d like to see the toe-up socks bind-off. If you’re also doing the other two I’d like the Fair Isle and then the dishcloth video

  26. Natalie says:

    The binding off toe up socks sounds like a great demo episode!

  27. Roz Jones says:

    Hi

    I’d love to see:

    Toe up socks – heal and cast off
    Fair isle demo

    Roz

  28. Kirsty says:

    Ooh, Fair Isle please.

  29. Maryjo says:

    looks like you have a multitude of “fair isle” requests, but I’m

    voting for the toe up sock bind off!!

    great episode, as usual! Thanks!

  30. Donna says:

    I’d love to see Fair Isle – mine never comes out right!

  31. cici says:

    Fair Isle ….. I love your new hairdo. Very attractive on you.

  32. J.D. says:

    I’d love to see the fair isle knitting demonstration.

    Thank you!

  33. Barbara Lynn says:

    My vote is for Fair Isle demo.

  34. Diane S. says:

    Another great episode as always!I loved seeing the Lion Brand studio & hope to talk my husband into a train trip down to the city sometime. For the demo I would really like to see Fair Isle first but all were something to look forward to!

  35. Pat McGuinness-Reed says:

    My of would be the bind-off of a toe up sock with a very close second being the Fair Isle knitting…..both would be great in the future

  36. Jadielady says:

    I would like to see Fair Isle knitting first, although I am considering knitting dishcloths for wedding favors, so I look forward to seeing that episode too!

  37. turvid says:

    I would love to learn more of Binding off Toe up Socks –

    Great episode!

  38. Rebecca says:

    Fair Isle (stranded) knitting. I’ve always been fascinated with it, and have it on my “to do” list to learn this year.

  39. Debbie Palmer says:

    I would love to see fair isle knitting in a podcast.

  40. chris says:

    I’d like to see Binding off Toe Up Socks, please. Mine always end up too tight!
    Thanks Cat and Eric.

  41. Freddie says:

    1. Fair Isle, please
    2. bind off toe
    3. No dish towel/rag/cloth.

  42. Fair Isle tutorial, plz! I am lovin’ the new ‘do, Cat! Keep up the great work! =D

  43. Myra says:

    Please demo Fair Isle knitting.

  44. Dawna says:

    Hi, Cat!

    My vote is for the toe-up sock bind off first. Then I’d like to see fair isle knitting, and I personally don’t do the washcloths, so no vote for that. 😉

  45. Heather says:

    I would love to learn fair isle. I can’t wait to see more video’s from Rhinebeck.

  46. Shirley says:

    Hey, Cat, I’d love to see the toe-up socks bind-off video first, and would really love it if you plan on showing a few alternative bind-offs. I think that something else that would be great is to show some different heel options.

    Love your show — keep on keeping on!

  47. Maggie says:

    Cat, thanks for another cool episode – both the Lion Brand store (drool) and the cool Knit1 premiere – must go check out the magazine, knew nothing about it! Thanks! If you could do Fair Isle, that’d be wonderful. Love it but can’t seem to get the knack of it.

  48. Mary Brown says:

    I am still afraid of Fair Isle (actually Stranded) Knitting. I would love to see your instructions, because you always make it sound so easy. I feel like I could try it then. I still refer to your socks podcast for tips.

  49. Patricia Bishop says:

    I would love to see fair isle knitting please. I love love love your hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  50. Sinn says:

    Fair Isle all the way!! There are no good videos out there on this topic and I hope to one day knit myself a fair isle sweater! Also, Cat, I am LOVING that new hair on you, girl!

  51. Fibrepirate says:

    I can’t decide! Toe up socks are driving me nuts because I have holes in the increases in the toes.

    I’m currently working on a Fair Isle Hemp For Knitting bag that is driving me nuts. I’m having tension problems so seeing how you do Fair Isle might help me.

    Then there’s the ever useful dishcloth. Which pattern to use? What yarns? oh the choices! (yes, I’m being sarcastic, but even the lowly dishcloth has a use)

    No matter what you pick, I’ll be happy. I know I’ll learn from anything you demonstrate.

  52. Alex Butler says:

    I think that a Fair Isle demo would be amazing,though i have to admit I have not yet tried a toe-up sock so that may be more useful for other people as I have no idea how difficult it is. In any case I vote Fair Isle ^_^

  53. Silja says:

    I would really like to see dinding off toe up socks.

  54. Steven says:

    I would love to see the binding off of the toe up socks. I am working on my second pair of socks now and I’m sure in the relative future I’m going to want to take on toe up and I’m going to need to know how to finish them. LOL!

  55. Scott says:

    Cat — Faire Isle Please. Love your show. I wish I could do more toward the fund. I will try. Scott B. a guy knitter in Little Rock.

  56. Susanna says:

    I’d love to see Binding off Toe up Socks, because before, you taught us how to bind on toe up socks. I really love the blooper clips at the end of your podcasts!

  57. Nancy says:

    Hi Cat! My daughter and I are so excited whenever we see you have a new video podcast up! I’d love to see all three subjects you mentioned, but binding off toe up socks would come first in my wishlist. Bless you and that crazy camera guy!

  58. Jean says:

    I would like to see either the toe-up sock bind-off or the fair-isle knitting. Thanks for showing your visit to the Lion Brand Studio. It was fun seeing pictures of Zontee and Liz from the Yarncraft podcasts – it’s nice to put a face to a voice. Thanks for all your work.

    ps. Your top is really pretty, Cat.

  59. Kimberly B. says:

    I’d love to see the Binding off toe up socks tutorial. I could even put it to use, if I win the yarn!

  60. Judy Salmans says:

    I would love the binding off of toe up socks. thanks for a great show.

  61. Susan Hardy says:

    Hi Cat & Eric, I would like to see how others do the fair isle style of knitting. I have nearly finished a cardigan with fairisle in for my husband and am proud that I tackled it but wherever you look, there is not enough demo’s done on fair isle because it is an advanced technique.

    Love Susan,

  62. Carrie says:

    My vote goes to Fair Isle! I love your hair, and love your podcast. I would like to support your fundraising, so if it’s okay with you I’d like to run a contest with my listeners and customers. I have been thinking that if folks donate to you and let me know, I can add them to a drawing for either stash yarn or hand-dyed yarn… I can still work out the details.

  63. Colette says:

    I would prefer to see the fairaisle knitting in an episode. It would be a new skill for me.

  64. Since I am nearly at the point in which I need to bind off my first ever pair of socks, that just happen to be toe-up, that would be my first vote. If you are ranking suggestions, my second vote would be for the fair-isle, since my second pair of socks (cuff-down) are going to be fair-isle and I’m almost to the point of having to start reading the chart. But either one would be good. Thanks for asking!

  65. Becky says:

    I like all three options for a demo but since I can only choose one, I would choose “Binding off Toe up Socks”

    I really like your podcast videos. Being a visual learner it makes it alot easier to see what is being talked about. Keep up the GREAT work!

    ~Becky (aka Knittergirl39 on Ravelry)

  66. madonnaearth says:

    I would prefer a show on fair isle/stranded knitting. Thanks for putting out another ep…things got slim podcastwise since the holidays!

  67. Betsy says:

    I really want to see how you bind off toe up socks.

  68. Ste says:

    I’d love to see fair isle then binding off toe ups and then dishcloths.

  69. Michelle E. says:

    I would like to vote for the binding off toe-up socks. I’ve made a couple of pairs of toe-ups and I’m too much of a tight knitter to not have the binding off lose. I’ve use multiple ways to try to get it lose and nothing is working Help!

    Michelle aka meicheL1006 (ravelry)

  70. Sue says:

    Hi CAT & Eric!

    I’ll vote for Binding off Toe up Socks because I know I’ll never try fair isle knitting. That’s too scary for a beginner like myself. My second choice would, of course, be dishcloths.

    Cheers,
    Sue

  71. Joyce says:

    I’d vote for binding off toe-up socks. I just started a pair watching your cast-on video. I love your shows! My second choice would also be dishcloths.

  72. Tanu says:

    Hey Cat, i’m so bad about posting comments but i can’t pass up the chance to win some Blue Moon! I would love to see something on Fair Isle knitting.
    Thanks, see you at the spinner’s group in a few weeks.

  73. Angela says:

    Fair Isle Knitting…definitely.

    Although binding off toe-up socks is a VERY close second.

    I’m so excited to have found your video podcast. Off to subscribe via iTunes…!

  74. LittleWit says:

    I would *love* to see a show on fair isle knitting. 🙂

  75. Rachel says:

    Fair Isle Knitting! Great new haircut!

  76. Kelly says:

    Fair Isle knitting please!

  77. Kathryn SIgman says:

    Binding off Toe up Socks would be my choice. I love toe-up socks but I hate trying to figure out how to make a stretchy bindoff!

  78. Carrie Penny says:

    I would love to see fair isle. I can’t seem to learn enough to make me confidant in trying larger projects, or be convinced that I am doing it right.

  79. Sherry says:

    Am i the only one who would like to see a show on knitting dish cloths? They are a great knitting project that can be easily carried around and worked on in your spare time. If you don’t do a show on them could you at least post info on your site about them with some patterns maybe? Go Dish Cloths!

  80. michael says:

    i would love to see the toe up bind off
    i’m about to start my first toe up sock so the timing is perfect! 🙂

  81. Linda says:

    I would love to see fair isle! Great choice of a giveaway yarn,their yarns are beautiful.

  82. Kristine says:

    I would love to see a demo on Fair Isle…but all are super ideas. I really enjoy the podcast!

  83. Helen says:

    I vote for Fair Isle. Something I always find tricky.

  84. Kalinumba says:

    Hi Cat! I’d love to see the fair Isle. But all other choices are great too!

  85. Kristin says:

    Cat –
    I love the show… I would love to see an episode on binding off toe up socks!

  86. Katerina says:

    Cat –

    I’d say 1. Fair Isle, 2. Bind off for toe up and 3. Dishcloths.
    When you do the Bind off for toe up – I’d actually like to see many variations of bindoff’s to get a better idea of which ones work the best – for any project!
    Love your new haircut and thanks for the great podcasts! 🙂

  87. Maureen Lavino says:

    I’d love to see a demo on Fair isle!
    Thanks for the contest.

  88. Hannah says:

    I’d love to see fair isle.
    Thanks!

  89. Jo says:

    Leave the dishcloth! Bring on the bind offs and fair isle! Keep up the great work!

  90. Tara says:

    I’d love to see a fair isle demo also.

  91. Please show us Fairisle. This format (video blog) is perfect for showing techniques that an audio podcast just can’t do justice. Thanks Cat

  92. Ashley W says:

    I would also like to cast my vote for Fair Isle! Thanks!

  93. Celestria Crimson says:

    I would like more on fair isle. I completed a two color hat for my husband for our anniversary but I always felt like I was stumbling over my fingers and got the tension too tight on some of the yarn in the back side. I usually knit continental style. Could not adjust to one of the yarns in the right hand.

  94. I learned to knit 2 years ago but only started my first dishcloth 2 nights ago. Wow ~ talk about instant gratification! I need some of that! What fun!! I would enjoy hearing you discuss dishcloths and see the beautiful patterns you have knitted,in addition to learning the best yarns to use.

    Love your video podcasts!

    Thanks so much!

  95. Great episode!!!! I vote for binding off toe up socks

  96. Kristie Rann says:

    Hi Cat & Eric,

    Please do an episode on binding off Toe up Socks. Fair Isle would be my second choice although dishcloths would be more practical. All the ideas are fine with me. I love your podcasts!

    mackristie(Kristie)

  97. Sue says:

    /bangs head against wall!
    I missed your live show again! I was at the very first one and now I’ve missed each one after. 🙁 Sorry about that. 6 Eastern is 3 pm to me and I’m usually out running around getting things done that I never have a chance to do on weekdays.
    I hope it went well and everyone had a great time.

  98. Alice says:

    I would love fair isle .

  99. Deb Giuffre says:

    Hi Cat,

    I would really love to see something in Fair Isle. I am starting to venture into knitting with multiple colors and would love to see that in a tutorial.

  100. Debbie says:

    I would love to an episode on casting off toe up socks! Great work on the videocast, I love it!

  101. Karen says:

    Hi Cat & Eric,
    Really enjoyed your podcast. It was fun to see the new Lion Brand studio-store. I’ve done stranded knitting before but would love to see your next demo on that subject—any tips for keeping even tension would be so appreciated!

  102. Dianne says:

    Love the podcast. It was fun to see the Lion Brand Studio. Cast off for the toe up socks, I’m ususally a cuff down girl. Do dishcloths really need an episode? Also love all of the Rhinebeck episodes, when in the middle of dark & dreary winter I can get the feel of a fiber event.

  103. Marianne K says:

    Fair Isle, please 🙂

    It was really nice to watch your show again. As I’m European, *seeing* what goes on over there is so interesting. Please keep up the excellent work!

  104. crafteeladee says:

    I would love to see a fair isle demo. This is one technique I can not master.

  105. Ishie says:

    I vote for fair isle! cos I’m too scared to try it…hehehe

  106. Karen in Maine says:

    Hi Cat and Eric, I really enjoyed seeing inside the new Lion studio, as well as behind the scenes of the magazine issue. And Cat, your hair looks great!

  107. Tina Hill says:

    Hi, I need to learn new ways to bind off toe-up socks. I usually knit socks this way and the cuffs just aren’t great. Thanks!

  108. Beth Sokoloff says:

    I would love to see how to bind off toe-up socks. Thanks.

  109. Verna Waybright says:

    Opening some doors to Fairisle knitting techniques would be such a huge help. Looking forward to this information…….. Thanks!

  110. Heidi says:

    I would love to see more about fair isle knitting. I never quite understood how to strand the yarn without puckering. I have always been afraid to try actually. I also am interested in the toe up bind off for socks. I love socks and knitting them but i usually do a standard bind off with a larger needle. I’d love to see some other options.

    Thanks!!

  111. Marion Berkhout says:

    I really would love to know more about fair isle knitting. I learn so much from your podcast. But it is great fun as it is too. Kindest regards, Marion Berkhout.

  112. Lourdes says:

    As much as I’d love to see all the different techniques for Fair Isle knitting, I’d like to see bind offs for toe up socks more. There are so many different ones and I’d like to see differentiations for them all. Great podcast Kat!

  113. Kathleen Howe says:

    Love your podcasts! I’d like to see bind offs for toe-up socks first. Keep up the great work!

  114. Barb says:

    one more vote for binding off toe-up socks. Too tight is the common problem, without a happy resolution…so far :o)

  115. Deb says:

    I vote for binding off Toe-up socks, I love the toe-up principle, but can’t seem to get a bind off as stretchy as I’d like.

  116. Bonne says:

    My vote is for binding off toe up socks. Always looking for another way to finish them off!!

  117. lisse says:

    My vote is for binding off toe up socks…I just started to learn toe up and the first one I knit I could barely get over my calf…so the second one is on hold until I learn a new version of bind off.

  118. Sheryl says:

    Fair Isle Merci!

  119. Lynette says:

    Fair Isle, please. And keep up the great work, I am new to the podcast, but am catching up quickly due to a couple of sick days home with a sore throat!

  120. Cyndi says:

    Love the new do!
    Actually I am torn between the toe-up bind-off and the fair isle demos. Either would be good! I have knitted toe-up and was disappointed with the lack of stretch in my bind off, and yet I would like to learn the Fair Isle technique too! The stress of the decision!

  121. barbara brewer says:

    I’d love to see you cover straNded knitting.
    Thanks, Cat!

  122. Kathleen says:

    Definitely Fair Isle….!

  123. Stacey says:

    I’d love to see 1st choice) knitted dishcloths, or 2nd choice: binding off Toe up Socks — I’m more or less a beginner, and I can tell I’m in the minority on choices here – =) Thanks!!!

  124. Nancy says:

    Thanks for the great show. I’d love to see a feature on Fair Isle.

  125. HI I want to see Fair Isle knitting! Thank you for grate show.
    Best regards
    Berglind

  126. Angela says:

    I would love to see one of fair isle knitting as I tried to try it ones and well not so hot! thanks for another lovely podcast, I am always intersted to see what you are going to talk about or were you got to go.

  127. Julie says:

    I vote for Fair Isle Knitting first. Maybe this would give me the little bit of motivation I need to get me started on a pair of fair isle sock / slippers I have been meaning to knit!
    Love the initiative of offering a contest this month… Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Cat and Eric!

  128. Jean says:

    I love your podcasts….I have also recently fallen in love with fair isles. It is definately on my list of skills to work on. Yarn colors are so beautiful and they are just screaming from my stash to be put together. I am looking to you for that help….PLEASE. Thanks so much

  129. I’d like to see Binding off Toe up Socks. I love your past episode on starting the toes. It was very helpful

    Peace

    Lori

  130. Bobbie says:

    I would like to see an episode on binding off toe up socks. (Fair isle is a my second choice!)

  131. Genevieve says:

    I have no clue how to do fair isle and would love to learn. Please post a demo!!! Thanks 😀

  132. Megan says:

    the socks!

  133. That’s a dreamy looking shop they have there…

    I vote for the fair isle first… also very interested in the binding off of socks but I can wait for that one!!

  134. Maureen says:

    Fair Isle is one of my knitting goals for this year… So another vote for a Fair Isle demo!

  135. alyssa says:

    I’d love to see Fair Isle!

    Love the Video Cast!

  136. Marie-Louise says:

    Again a lovely episode, the pictures from the Lion Brand studio were real fun to watch, I wish I could do my house like that 😉

    I would love to see fair isle knitting for the next episode as it’s one of the more difficult techniques in knitting.

  137. Elizabeth Miller says:

    Looks like such an inviting store-I hope to be able to visit on the next trip to NYC 🙂

  138. laura says:

    ohhh! that yarn is soo pretty! binding off socks please

  139. Marianne Wong says:

    Another great episode! Thanks for putting on a terrific show!

    I would love to see an episode on knitted dishcloths (and facecloths). I never really fully appreciated these items until someone in my knitting circle decided to knit some as Christmas gifts. Her cloths were far and away so much better than anything you could buy in a store.

  140. Angel says:

    Fair isle, please! 🙂 Love the show and your hair looks fab! 🙂

  141. Sara says:

    I really enjoyed your podcast! The lionbrand studio has made me want to take the 2hr train ride to NYC some day!

    I’d really like to see more about toe up sock bind offs. I’ve tried 3 different ones and am not happy with how the ones I’ve done claim to be strechy but are really not.

    Look forwards to seeing your next podcast!
    Sara

  142. Nelly says:

    I’d like to see the bind off for toe up socks.

  143. Jennifer says:

    I am looking forward to watching tutorials for binding off toe-up socks and for fair ilse–but if I had to pick on to go FIRST, I’d vote for fair isle!
    And I agree that your new haircut is quite flattering.

  144. Tina says:

    I loved the videos on NY, I have a sister living in Brooklyn and am planning a road trip to Lion Brand because of your video, my vote is for the fair isle tutorial. Love the new look!

  145. Ms. Tracker says:

    Nice episode. I wasn’t able to get to the studio during my last trip to NYC so this was a great way to see what I’m missing! As for the demo vote…definitely Fair Isle please.

  146. Rebecca says:

    Fair Isle Knitting would be so nice to see in your next podcast. I love your shows they are inspiring! Thank you! You look great with the new haircut.

  147. Dori says:

    I love your podcast and always look forward to the new episodes. I would love to see Binding off Toe up Socks.

    I’m all for Binding off Toe up Socks. My feet can get so cold during the winter.

    Hey Cat,

    Love the new do! Very sophisticated.

    I’d like to see a demo on Fair Isle… it’s been a while since I’ve watched any of your demos and I always found them informative and fun.

    With regards to raising more money for the site… have you considered Raffles? You could sell “tickets” at $1 or $2 each and give nice yarn as a prize (which you may also be able to get donated by a supplier as it would be free advertising). The winner would end up having paid only a few dollars whilst you could raise much more.

    Best Wishes, Rich

    I would love to see all three! I just bought your book about socks so I would choose that if I have to but all of them would be nice. Thanks for the shows.

  152. Margie says:

    I just found your podcast yesterday and I love it already. I’m a brand new knitter and am appreciative of any free knitting instruction I can get my hands on. I’m itching to make a pair of socks, so I’d like to see Binding off toe up socks. But to be honest, I’m sure I’ll like all 3 episodes. Best wishes.

    I’d love to see binding off toe up socks – I love learning new variations on such a simple thing as a sock!

  154. Monique says:

    I vote for the binding off of toe up socks first. I would also love to see an episode on steeking. Or maybe slip stitch patterns, or a how to do good yarn substitutions. There’s a lot I’d love to see. Keep up the informative wonderful work.

  155. Leina says:

    I vote for binding off toe-up socks. 🙂

  156. Susan says:

    Binding off Toe up Socks please!

  157. Michele says:

    My vote is for the sock bind-off!

  158. Tommie says:

    Fair Isle and toe finishing are more technical and exciting sounding but I have dishcloth dilemma. I’ve been knitting dish cloths this past year and now I have all these partial skeins left. I’d like to learn some good, sturdy joins for cotton so I can use up these bits of yarn.

  159. Kerrie James says:

    Hi Cat! Definitely would love to see some fair isle demos! Thanks!

  160. Lisa D says:

    Love the new haircut. I would like to see a bind-off for toe up socks. I always knit them this way because I can just keep knitting until I run out of yarn and that is how long they will be. My bind-offs are not always as stretchy as I would like. thanks

    I would love to learn more about fair isle knitting! I’m a beginner and your show always inspires me to my next projects! In fact I’m going out today to get some wire and beads to make jewelry!

  162. Julie says:

    Your podcasts are always wonderful. I wish I lived closer to New York. I would love to learn more about Fair Isle knitting – Thank you!

  163. Katherine says:

    Just watched this episode today and wanted to put my vote in for fair isle! I might be too late though. Oh well. 🙂

  164. Cheryl Juhl says:

    I would love to learn the toe up bind off first (followed by Fair Isle) I love your video podcasts and your new haircut is great!

  165. Ginger says:

    Oh wow … I would love to see an episode on binding-off toe-up socks … but an episode on fair-isle socks would be great too – well any fair isle in the round really.

    but you knwo me, its all about socks — so BO the TUs.

    Wow so many comments to chose from? however will you pick just one winner?

    Did anyone else get tinglies looking at all that yarn on the wall??

  166. Donna says:

    As usual, a great episode Cat! Personally, I’d love to see a demo of Fair Isle. Thanks for all you do!

  167. Erika B says:

    I loved this episode and want to thank you for putting out all of these wonderful videos for us! I was re-visiting them today when I remembered that I haven’t left a comment yet! I would love to see either the toe-up bind off or the fair isle. I know I’ve seen a lot of cute fair isle kits lately, but I’m always afraid to try them. Maybe you can help me build the courage? 😉

  168. Erin says:

    Oooh! Fair Isle Knitting!!

  169. Becky says:

    I would like to see the toe-up socks bind-off… And heel turning options for toe-up socks. I always have to do the heel a couple times for the when/how to turn it!

    I love the podcast, thanks for doing it!

  170. CAT says:

    The winner of the yarn is: Karen in Maine! We’ll be emailing you to get the address for where to send this lovely yarn!
