Love your show. Just got back to spinning after years of just knitting.
Nice to see your Basalt tank; it is in my queue as are many things from Knitting Nature.

Hi Aimee,
Just found your podcast and downloaded all of the episodes. Love it! Keep up the great work. I have been knitting for about 4 years now and I also want to learn to spin but do not know where to start. Wheels are so expensive so I have thought about getting a drop spindle but again don’t know which one to get. Take care and see you Ravelry!

I really enjoy your podcast. I listen while I do my daily walk. Thanks for reviewing the spinning books. I have the older book and didn’know if the newer one was different enough to buy. Two years for UFO is nothing to worry about. I started a sweater when my youngest started kindergarten. He is now starting his sophomore year in college. I actually knit some on it this summer.

Hi, Aimee,

Thanks for telling me to move my comment over here. You are putting out a wonderful podcast--fun, informative, and interesting, without the rambling silliness of some of the others. Have a great vacation. When is the big move?

I so enjoy listening to your podcast – you’ve got a great “radio” voice! I’ve gone as far as purchasing a handpainted drop spindle and roving but have not been able to quite figure out how to use it! These books sound great – definitely ones to get whether or not I win!

Thanks for the review of the books, I have been puttering around the edges of spinning and have yet to take the plunge, but I’ve been collecting books – in the desperate hope that this will help me…

I’ve got a UFO that’s at least 6 yrs old (ie. more than 2 university degrees ago…) I changed sizes and decided that knitting with ribbon yarn was a pain… I should dig up that and frog it…

I followed the TurtleGirl link too. I'm excited you do a podcast, I *heart* podcasts.

I almost had as many WIPs as you (possibly more) but i was never getting anything done so i frogged most of them and am only working on one project at a time. I also bead, and try to design, and create cross-stitch pitures... I still haven't finished anything because I keep ballsing them up too badly, but it will happen. I have faith.

Anyways, hi!

I hate seaming too! still wroking on a sweater I started in Feb. Maybe I’ll finish it this winter!

Really enjoying your podcast thus far, please keep them up. They are great company while I knit in the evenings.

Don’t worry about having a 2 year UFO. I knit up a jumper that I knit and only needed to be seamed and gave it to my mum after 10 years as the jumper and I were no longer the same size. I’m not actually sure if mum ever seamed it either… that was 6 years ago.
