    Dude, I am so glad I went to the little girl’s room before I started watching your show. ROFLMAO

    Love the sweater, I have been swatching (since Jan) for sweaters for myself, my Mother and my Sister. [sizes 1X, 2X, 3X] The whole goal being major stash busting results, and some really cute sweaters. I need a virtual punch to get going on them.

    Hahahaha, ok, Bev, if you felt something weird sometime before you actually read this response, it’s totally becuase I sent you a psychic punch at 2:12 pm est. I’ll cofess, I totally started this sweater right after Christmas, and while I love the pattern, I haven’t been so sure about the direction my mods will need to take. But heh, you’ll never know until you try. Or, until you really screw something up.

    I heart you girl, but you know that. You are a bright spot in my week for sure, yo!
    “Dude, I sheer sheep. I will herd you” lol I want to go to a small fiber festival this weekend but it’s like an hour drive and it’s all city driving so traffic for an hour…not fun so I don’t know if I’ll do it. I’m lazy like that. lol
    Another fabulous episode! Thanks for the mention. ❤

    You are totally insane! There has to be something seriously wrong with you! (Are we related???) No, seriously…This is the BEST podcast ever! You are the sister that I never had…(the voices in my head tell me so..) Keep on ‘castin girl…Everything you do makes me laugh (the dog thinks I’m crazy!) P.S totally understand what “stupid pretty” means!!

    I Love your podcast! I just watched all 3 episodes. Keep them coming!

    I like the smaller festivals myself and plan to go to a couple this Spring.

    I’m trying to finish a sweater that’s been around for too long. I spun the yarn in 2009, knit it in the round to where almost the whole thing was done, and had to frog 1/3 of it back in 2010. I’ve just got the last rows and front edging to do now. You are encouraging me to get it off the needles now. 🙂

    Dang, a sweater from handspun! How awesome are you?! Finish it lady…..Finish it and wear it EVERYWHERE…..Finish is and wear it everywhere with a very large button that says “This used to be fur, I turned it into a sweater, yo.”
