Great episode, as always! What is up with Stitches being on a holiday weekend this year. I may miss it too -- hopefully I can figure out a way to go... Happy new year! Leslie

I agree, great episode. I actually met FiddleKnits at the Unwind Anniversary party last week. Loved her patterns and could always use some great hats!

Love it! I am going to say I had the same problem with spending too much money on yarn/knitting last year. 2010 was the year of the splurge - it was a good stash exploration year - but I have to knit with it this year. So I too will only constrain my cast ons by the number of needles I own - rock on! PS I hope to get the FiddleKnits stuff - she's got cute accessories on her site!

I actually bought the Bonnie Kate cardigan from fiddleknits, but haven't made it yet. I think the sweet treats collection is great.

That color in your mom's sweater is dreeeeamy Nicole! I enjoyed listening to you ladies while cooking today, and I hope you're having a good weekend working toward all the goals mentioned.

Thanks for your January show...love hearing your voices---plus I am usually in shock about how much I spend on yarn---but I love it! Good luck on using just your gift cards.

Great show as always, I'm committed to the sockyarn stashdown. I recommend (if you haven't already) adding the tags we need to add to our F.O.s on the Ravelry group posts, to the description of the thread....otherwise we will tend to forget and not know which episode to listen to for those tag hints.
Thanks again for a great podcast!

Love your goals for 2011! I'd love to win some Fiddleknits patterns.

I love fiddleheadknits patterns! I've knit several of her hats and can attest to her pattern writing abilities. Great episode as usual.

Can't believe y'all weren't familiar with Fiddleknits yet - Erica's stuff is great! Would love to win her collection. :) Thanks for another great episode!

Love Erica's music-related patterns. Fun!

Hi Jennie and Nicole...I know it is hard with your busy lives, but thank you for continuing to podcast. You girls make my day whenever I listen to you! And I love your pattern suggestions too!

I had a similar revelation last year and so I spent way, way less this tear on yarn. Of course, I haven't actually added up the total yet, so I hope it was less! Good luck with your goals.

Loved this episode! I'll definitely be using up sock yarn from my stash this year, though most of it will probably become shawls, not socks.
I'd love to win a FiddleKnits collection - the Sweet Treats one is very very cute.

Great podcast. I love the fiddlesticks patterns.

Awesome episode! I've got quite a few of Erica's patterns in my faves - what a fantastic giveaway!
Posted by: Kathy | January 20, 2011 at 09:54 AM
Great episode!! I first saw Erica's work on Knitty -- the Sourwood Mountain mitts are hers. Definitely on my list of things to knit.

Great episode. Your Kerera sweater is such a beautiful color.

Great Episode! I too am trying to cut the yarn purchasing back this year and use up some of my great stash! Love the idea of casting on whenever!

Thanks for helping me clean the toilets :) (well you know you entertain me while I scrub)
Posted by: Kat | January 31, 2011 at 02:09 PM
If you can go to stitches and not buy any yarn, I will give away my stash! Of course I would never give away my stash....but you will never leave Stitches empty handed either!
