Wow! I actually won. How awesome! Thanks so much for the contest, it definitely helped me get through some of my stash.

Oh, and it's lynne-why-o, not lynne-wee-o. ;)

Found your podcast about 2-3 months ago and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I refer to you gals as my invisible friends. As I do not know anyone who knits you have been my link to another world and because of your podcast I now know what a blog actually is and can't get enough of seeing what the world is knitting. Pure joy!

I cannot tell you how flattered and excited I was to see & hear my name and blanket mentioned. That project was my first after a questionable knitting hiatus. I have no idea what caused it, but vow I will never let that happen again. I missed knitting sooooo
much.

Thanks again!

I think you might like the Yikes Stripes hat(by Cyntergomes, a livejournaler) that is a modified Ganomy hat by EZ....super cute. It's here: http://community.livejournal.com/knitting/126580.html

[orata]

Yay, not one but two of my projects made it into the podcast! Cool!
Sorry I didn't tag my hat picture with the specs. And, um, I still haven't done it... but I did post more info on my site, about the yarn and the color (Filatura di Crosa Zara, 2 skeins, color 1503) and the pattern (i.e. it's my made-up pattern and it doesn't exactly exist just quite yet, but maybe soon).

[Marce]

OMG - I was just on Ravelry congratulating Lynnewio not knowing that I had won also! YAAAAAAAAY
Thank you ladies, a great motivating knitfest.

(I'm totally doing a goofy grin and will be doing so for some time)

[Jeanette! (devittles)]

Thanks for mentioning me! The Marsan Watchcap is knit in STR heavy weight and the center square is knit in Plymouth Tweed. You can check me out on Ravelry too. Thanks ladies. You are so great at what you do.

[Stacey]

Thanks for mentioning my orange legwarmers! I'm glad you like them. They really work too. I admit I'm not brave enough to wear them in public. Just under my jeans with a bit of orange peeping out :) I didn't do any shaping; the rib pattern hugged my calves pretty well. I guess if you want the Flashdance/80s look, you'd have to make them longer, looser, and slouchier.

Keep up the podcasting! You two are great fun to listen to.

[Leslie]

great to have you back!

[Carolyn]

Oh my gosh. I thought I was behind! The last days of September I was thinking about how to squeeze even more projects in and I just couldn't do it! This feels really great. Thank you for the fun contest

[Sally Villarreal]

Are we going to do something every month? *bounces*

I was going to knit the garter mitts, but the gauge in the book is insane! Is there some typo I'm missing? 34 sts=4inches in sport! I couldn't get that in fingering. I finally gave up and returned the book to the library without knitting anything.

BTW- I'll take the hippie crunchy socks! I'll frog them. (Since you won't;)

Thanks guys. I'm assuming sport-weight socks count? (I have a couple or requests for around-the-house socks For X-mas.)

[me]

hey! love the podcast, it's fab. I listen a lot while I knit. One critique allowed? One of you guys breathe too close the mic and I can hear you inhale and exhale, it's sort of distracting while the other is talking. :) Other than that, loving all these SS projects!

[Mary Gehling]

I asked for an ipod for my birthday mainly because i am enjoying your podcast sooooo much!!! Can you tell me what the pattern for the great lace cap on episode 31 is? Keep up the great work!

[icemonkey]

re. leg warmers. i can't remember where i saw them! but a pattern for some really cool, kind of bell-bottomy stripey ones exists in the world. seemed to me like a cool update, which achieves that 'slouchy' effect without necessarily being 'bunchy' around the ankles in that 80's way.
