Hi-I just got to listen to your first episode-it was really interesting. I enjoyed hearing about your design process. I think I am at the point in my knitting life where I should start trying to do my own patterns…would you suggest a hat as a first project? That would probably make for an interesting podcast. Keep up the good work & I hope episode 3 comes out soon!

Thanks,
Shannon

Hi there! I tried dowloading Episode 1, but got an error message saying the file, “xtacastdraft.mp3″ does not exist. Please send an email letting me know where I can download Episode 1. Thanks!

Whoops, thanks Janice! Episode One was originally posted with a link to a file hosted on my website.. but I’ve since upgraded to Libsyn, but didn’t change that link. Thanks for pointing it out! All fixed now, so hopefully no one else will have that problem.. do let me know if you are having troubles getting the shows downloaded!
