I enjoy your podcast, but I think that you need a pop screen on your mic (and/or move it further away from your mouth.)
Other than that, I really liked the show. I just found your podcast (via Sticks and String, I think.) Always happy to find a new knitting podcast! From a fellow Canadian to boot.

girl…that new intro totally cracked me up! and you could only hear your stuffy nose a teenie tiny bit. i really liked all the talk about swatches. i hardly ever make ‘em….and usually pay the price. the only time i really do them is if i’ve got some ridiculously nice yarn that i don’t want to mess up too much by having to rip stitches out 100 times over! the interview with syvia was really interesting too..yay for local talents. well done darlin’

Hey Christa,
Love your podcast (so refreshing to hear a podcast about knit design and from someone in the PNW)!

Hi there Christa,
Really rally love your discussions. Great to hear Sivia talk about herself and her work (her excitement is infectious). And, thanks to you, we’ve pulled out our hoops around here and practice a bit
