It sounds beautiful, and I can't wait to get it on the needles. Is there a stitch glossary available through Lion Brand? It would be very helpful to have one place to go to figure out pattern stitches. Thanks for clarifying the brioche stitch. It sounds beautiful, and I can’t wait to get it on the needles.

Odd trivia, Listening to Liz was freakily like listening to myself. Our voices are very similiar-- only I am always cold and never warm. She's my evil voicetwin (or probably the other way around). I love that you pointed out those adorable patterns. I'm excited about the car coat. Best Crochet Gift: On my first christmas with my husband's family, his grandmother gave us a handmade throw. It was gorgeous and warm, and really made me feel like a part of the family. Thanks for another great episode.

We all understand about things your can't control, street noise, but bangs and such really need to be edited out or avoided all together. Ok, so I started with the what to improve part, now onto the good stuff! ;) You have a great idea with this podcast. I'm very impressed with having Glampyre and now Yarn Harlot. Huge names online! The music between bits is very nice, helps the transitions move smoothly. I really enjoyed hearing about Inspiration/Mood Boards. I'm going to make an effort to start one myself. As for what inspires me? The Yarn. I realized how much I love the yarn I buy and even if I don't purchase it with a distinct project in mind, I love the actual yarn itself. And just having it around me and in SIGHT helped inspire me. So I dug all my stash out of my various bins and boxes in the basement/closets and put it on open wire shelving right beside my closet. I love it. I organize it by yarn type sometimes or by color or by yarn weight. I keep my hands and eyes on it, so it's there for me when I want it. It also helps me keep in mind what I have in my stash so when I go shopping I don't wonder. It also helps me keep my stash somewhat! under control. I realize just how much I have at all times. Keep up the good work!

I had to stop listening to this episode because I was so distracted that I could not concentrate on what the conversation was about. Hope that this improves in that area, otherwise I think the podcasts will be very useful & will inspire listeners with their crochet & knitting.

The first four minutes of your podcast was repeating your contact info over and over and over, and thanking posters. That's too long. Anyone savvy enough to be blogging and listening to podcasts probably knows how to hit the back button to get your contact info again if they need it. I also suggest that if you want to thank people leaving comments, do it as part of your printed "show notes" on your blog. You might want to take a peek at a cool vidlog that uses printed show notes to share additional information. http://beachwalks.tv She has got this down to an art form. Good Lord!

I love that they are informative, fun and organized. I wanted to comment on the patterns offered on Lionbrand.com. I like a lot of the patterns, but sometimes the pictures aren't clear. I think multiple photos would be great, especially when you're going to construct a garment and may be confused by the directions. Great job and I eagerly await the next episode!
