Lexie,
I just finished listening to your podcast, and I wanted to say thanks for telling us about the knitting daily website! It’s a great little site
Your podcast is really cute, keep it up and don’t pod-fade!

Hello from Belgium! I wasn’t able to go to the London knitting show - not a bad thing considering the amount of yarn I already have…- so I enjoyed listening to your report. I like your podcast a lot, it is always very informative. Happy knitting Laure

Eeekk! I wondered why I was suddenly getting a vast increase in hits to the blog. I’ve been podcast!
(Note obligatory use of word “podcast”
)
And I didn’t realise I was an “old favourite”…I’ve no sound on this PC, you see (I blew up my speakers) so don’t listen in much, sorry. I’m playing this on the kids’ machine. I must go back and listen to all the back issues.

Hi Lixie, I’ve just come across your podcast for the first time and am really enjoying it. I’m looking forward to listening to all the previous episodes now. You have a very listenable voice too

Only 10 episodes? It feels like I’ve been listening to your podcast longer than that! You could have said it was your milestone 25th and I would have believed it. Thanks for the link to the DROPS pattern site!

You do such a great podcast! You have such interesting websites and tips every single time. The spelling in flickr photos is so cool! Please, keep up the good work!

Hello, Lixie: As always, I had great fun listening to your podcast. You always approach our craft with such good humor, and I always enjoy the blogs that you feature (the pirate cakes did look scrumptious). And thanks for the tip about the Garnstudio/DROPS yarns and patterns - my goodness! I had NO idea. It’s like an enormous rabbit hole that one might never emerge from. You asked for some suggestions for topics for future shows. I’d be interested to hear about what makes you decide to buy a yarn - and under what conditions you can give others a pass….

Hi Lixie,
I just heard your podcast for the first time and wanted to tell you it was really enjoyable. You have a wonderful voice (very calm and soothing) for podcasting and you kept me well entertained while I was knitting. I’m looking forward to going back and listening to the other nine episodes

I heard about your podcast on the knitting on the green blog, and decided it was time for me to start listening to podcasts in general. And I LOVE it! I sit in the bus to work and knit socks and listen to you telling me all this lovely and funny stuff about knitting! I am hooked!
October 17th, 2007 at 8:36 am
I love the podcast and being able to hear about knitting in the UK. The pattern site was amazing, thank you so much! I will be spending days looking through that one.

Hi Lixie,
What a great find you had with the Garnstudios website, and thanks for passing it on. I live in Florida and we don’t have a lot of yarn events here.
I love your podcast, you are organized but you don’t sound scripted. And cake too!

Hello Lixie,
I found your podcast, and it’s from the UK. Great. I love the Knit picks podcast and Brenda Daynes Cast On, but they are all about the other side of the pond.
Great work, loved the information on Ally Pally, not yet been to any shows, so it was great to hear about it.
Yours Susan

Hello Lixie, I really enjoy listening to your podcast while I knit socks. I like the fact that you point out new podcasts and when to find free knitting patterns. thanks again for taking time to podcast so I can enjoy listening to you while I sit and Knit.. Your truly Sandra.

I just finished listening to your podcast, and it was, as always, charming! Maybe we should compile a list of favorite cake recipes to forward on for next year - to increase the odds of great cake. I don’t know what to do about the seating though.
Thanks for continuing to podcast!

Just listened to that last episode of your podcast. Great music and nice sound quality. Keep up the good work!

Hello Lixie
Thanks for the podcasts, I have been over to the Garnstudios website and have already downloaded and cast on for one of their patterns.
Keep up the good work
Regards Lynne

Lixie, I like the new music you played us out with on the podcast and I think it would be a good intro piece. I will also be sending a donation, however since it will be USD it will lose a little something in the exchange process. Good luck getting a recorder for the podcast.

Lixie,
Oh my!!!! I love your podcast! Just found it this morning, and listened to the first episodes and the most recent 2 episodes while traveling for a 4 hr trip. Now that I’m at my destination, I’m going to catch up and listen to the rest! You’ve got me hooked.
