Congratulations, Nicole! I would've worried about keeping a wedding dress clean on Muni :) I never used to sit/stand near the sweetest smelling people on the bus.

Mazel tov, Nicole! What exciting news! :) Your shawl is gorgeous. I have been wanting to try a lace shawl -- in fact, I was inspired by your Kiri shawl. (Do you think that's a good one to start with?) By the way, on the topic of lifelines (which I swear by), I use DENTAL FLOSS. It works great! :) Congrats again! :)

Ladies, thank you for yet another great episode. I can't believe you are up to number 60!
I re-listened to episode 59 yesterday, and in response to your comments about liking to see a yarn store owner's projects all around, I have to suggest that you come visit Full Thread Ahead in Los Altos. The owner, Hollis, is...enthusiastic...about starting projects, and there is a humongous pile of them near the knitting area. It is a bit of a trek from SF, and there is no BART in the South Bay, but if you are ever in the area, I think you may enjoy it.

Best wishes to Nicole and thanks to both for another great podcast. AND - I totally loved the music at the end - Dengue Fever.
