  1. Morning Carin! Thanks for another fun webcast! I started watching last week, catching up fro the beginning and was uber excited to watch another great episode.

    I love your Shipwrecked Shawl! Can you tell us how you liked the bead spinner? There will be a vendor at MA Sheep and Wool next weekend with them and I'd love a review!

    It was great to see your FO of the week... again. ;) You showed the same socks not too long ago (and the safety pin trick). ;) More coffee for YOU!!!

  3. Turns out my almost two year old loves watching your vidcast with me. When you were holding up your shipwrecked shawl, he was holding up his picture that he was drawing for you to see. He especially liked your orange yarn. He's telling me that he wants to watch you again. Too cute. Thanks for entertaining him for 20 quiet minutes so I could drink my coffee this morning.

  4. Just found your webcast a couple days ago, and have already caught up. I was wondering about knitting socks on magic loop, is it more difficult than 4 dpns, and also how do I get started.
