Hello Susan,
How nice to see you are back with your podcasts looking at your socks has inspired me to start knitting them again. I also love the giveaway yarn you are generously offering this time. I am daydreaming already what pattern I would use in the event I happen to be the lucky winner (ha ha ha) I will definitely keep my fingers crossed, it is really lovely. Looking forward to see your next podcast. I am Lauriux in Ravelry.

Your sweaters are inspiring! Not being a fan of sock knitting, I especially like it when knit podcasts show sweaters as Wips or FOs.

Greetings from Australia
That's nice that competition entrants didn't need to watch the video to get the details - while I was not participating, your choice to put the competition details in the blog post (not on video) makes it more accessible for people. I am one of those people whose internet is unreliable and watching video can be painfully slow, so I avoid it, if I can. There would also be many people who have limited download amounts and video chews through it quickly.
Your little sheep are so cute and the wools very interesting.

So good to see what you've been up to. I can see the two toned yarn comming to live in my stash very soon. But I do have to say that the "defective" batch of woodland heather is my favorite.
I can envision that 3 Irish Girls skein as a boomerang type shawl. Beautiful

Hi,
I'm back again, hoping to win the "sock blank" giveaway...this is fascinating to me. Also, I must thank you again, for your kitchener stitch instructions! Each time I finish a sock, I check in with you again, just to make sure that I'm doing it right. You've taught me so well, I don't think I need to check in anymore, but I still do.
Thanks again.
