Super Big Golden Congratulations on your 50th episode. Great to hear your voices, as always, and a lovely interview with Norah! Oh, and LOVE that closing song.

Oh, I am such a Nora Gaughn fan and such a Stash&Burn fan. Yay! I was wondering how often you wear your tilted duster, because it seems like such a great sweater, and I wasn't going ot knit it until you talked about how easy it was... now everyone on Ravelry is knitting it and I can't wait to have one too. You two are very influential.

I've heard a couple interviews with Nora Gaughn and she's always entertaining and the sort of person you wished you had as a neighbor.

Congratulations on the 50th! Keep up the good work. I think you guys have really found your groove when it comes to interviewing - which seems like it would be quite a challenge.

[Celia]

Just catching up with you guys. Jeez, 50 already? This podcast and the previous one on WIPs has inspired me to pick up the Tilted Duster again. It's 90% done. Just have to sew in the second sleeve and pick up the neck. Why's it languishing in a basket next to the computer desk?

[Ansley]

Hi there! I just discovered you guys (where have I been?) and you show is sooo great. I had to join the Ravelry fan group too. Thanks so much for all your time and effort.

Just hopped over from Berroco's newsletter to hear the interview with the always fascinating Norah. This interview was no exception, very interesting!

This was my first exposure to your podcast and I liked it so much I subscribed.

Happy 50th episode! Quite an achievement in a world where podcasts easily disappear.

Dear J&N,

I love use guys
thanks for getting me into a new habit-podcast addiction. I love love love your show

I just got a job at a yarn store, thanks to listing to your stiches live cast.

I'm a newbie nitter and all I 4500 on the antsy list at Ravely:(

I can't find a photo of the tilted duster but I will.

I've about 7 projects started

my first pattern in the print-o-wave shawl
I'm on my 1st E.Z.(my hero) seamless sweater, Frogtree fingering alpaca

I see your pod cast list every where I go but I feel as though I found you by my self. I'm so proud of you and happy to have you in my life.

NIcole & Jenny, how did it take me this long to discover your podcast?!? It's been about 3 weeks since I first listened, and have been catching up on all of the back episodes. I love the way the 2 of you interact, and how everything you say is so thoughtful yet unscripted. Thanks for the inspiration and helpful tips! And congratulations on your 50th episode. Looking forward to the next 50!

[angie]

I don't why it's only now I have found this cast, but I love it. Congratulations on your 50th, and it was lovely to hear some design inspiration from Norah Gaughan.

Wonderful.
Have a nice break.

[Gretchen]

Hi- somehow I had missed finding you gals in my knitting-obsessed podcast life, but so glad I found you! Congratulations on your 50th, and I eagerly await episode #51. Cheers.

[Sally Villarreal]

Norah, it is glamorous. (Take it from the telemarketer.)

Norah's one of the minds behind Ultra Alpaca!? I want this job. (I adore Ultra Alpaca.)

I haven't tried the Ultra Alpaca Light yet. I'm still psyched about the regular Ultra Alpaca.

That was awesome. Thank you so much. I love hearing about "the industry."
