Such a happy and 'perky' podcast!
Thanks for bringing sunshine to a dark and dreary drive to work this morning :)

p.s. thanks for sharing the twisted flower sock (I can't even begin to imagine/comprehend how she did that)
Hi Lime, Violet and "not Violet". I'm a fan of all your podcasts. Insanity keeps me sane. However I am very jealous of all the sock yarn you guys get over there. Here in Australia... there's not so much. By the way... I'm wondering if "Not Lime" was serious about her challenge to guess what movie she was quoting from "no words...etc" in exchange for "something". I thnk it might be "Contact" staring Jodie Foster in the scene where she's in the alien travel pod looking into space at a Nebula (I think it's a nebula?)
In any case. love your show. Best wishes for yarny happiness and socky success,

"black phoenix site" as in Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab? You, madam, are indeed awesome. LOVE their oils. Love them.
I, too, think of Dave Matthews every time I drool on that particular Etsy site. Aren't some of their colorways named after song titles?
Ah yes. Bpal. I have a small Bpal....problem...nothing I can't handle. Really, just like my small sock yarn problem.
What can I say you Girls are toooo much. I can always look to you to brighten my day. I listened to you the other day on my lunch break and everyone thought I was loosing my mind in laughter. Thanks so much.
ohmy, you have made me addicted to ET. I had never explored it until your show this week. I listened to the show while at my computer, and looked at items right along wiht you. WOW. I also almost slammed on my breaks in the car when you mentioned the "fairy Dust Sprinkled" roving. WOW!!!
hi! loved the new podcast! just an fyi, the swell yarn shop url is missing an "a" before "swell". thanks for keeping me knitting today, i'm making a scarf with a lime/violet colored lambswool yarn and it seemed appropriate to knit it while listening.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning my Wee Ones Etsy shop and saying such wonderful things about it : ) I really enjoyed listening to your podcast!

FYI, I knit with Angela from A Swell Yarn Shop and she has recently add XXL Duets. She probably "felt" your need.
Great podcast...keep it up!!!
Tell Alcariel she shouldn't feel bad! I use the screenname "Maid Mirawyn" on a bazillion sites...which is my online roleplaying game character.
But it gets worse: she is named after my D&D character Mirawyn, whose name I created with the Elvish naming guide from The Silmarillion...it means "Maiden of Jewels."
And she should totally come to DragonCon; I went last year for only the second time, and us ladies had a blast. You can look around and say, "Gee, I'm not that geeky after all."
Working my way through the blog; I have twelve more to go!
