Great podcast! It's on my "to listen while knitting" list. And I've been drooling over Wendy Bernard's book, thinking that -- as a beginner -- it would be a wonderful resource. Yarn? Who can say no to yarn?!

Hi Susan - I got my giveaways mixed up. I left a comment on the last giveaway about the basket for Infinite Twist. It is a steaming basket for fish, vegetables, chicken, anything! You can place parchment paper in the bottom then whatever you wish to steam. Delicious and the nutrients are not lost.

Wendy's book is a WINNER! I heard Wendy on a podcast (Marlybird - I think) and thought: What a great idea and why hasn't anyone done it before! It is worth the money to buy!!!!!

The "yarn container" appears to be a tray from a bamboo steamer. Very clever use. I would love to win the yarn (as I already have the book).

Thanks for your efforts with the blog and podcasts. You ARE appreciated!

Hi Susan,
The basket that the yarn prize came in is a steamer basket...you place vegetables or dumplings in it and then put it over a pot with boiling water to steam cook the food.
