I use knitting to relax and as a dstraction when want to snack....I knit till my snack attack passes....sure don't want to handle yarn when your fingers gooey from salty and sugary snacks. I look forward to the podcasts....read the Friday Night Knit Club because of the pocast. I thought the book was great, and my husband would ask for a daily synopsis of what I read. During WWI, weren't the soldiers in the military hospitals taught Knitting and crocheting as a distraction, and rehab? Love the podcasts, since the 1st podcast.

It sounds like you're working on a solution, so I'm keeping my subscription. Also, I think you waste a lot of time at the start of the podcast talking about the "rules of the road"...how you can find the podcast, how to subscribe, how to email comments, etc. If we're listening to the podcast, we know how to find it. Given your content is so wonderful I hate to waste precious time on stuff I know (and hear in every podcast).

There have been a couple of podcasts that I would love to know more about but being deaf kind of eliminates me from listening. It seems that there should be some way for people like me to be able to find out what is on the podcast. I'm sure I'm not the only hard of hearing knitter.

I just wanted to chime in on the sound quality of this latest podcast, particularly with the Sue Grafton interview. I am listening as I write this, and it's horrible! Sounds like someone is playing Space Invaders in the background! Other than that, great podcast. Thanks! Hi there,

Once the technical problems are ironed out they should be even better. I always load them on to my iPod as soon as they are released then wait for a time I can listen with out interruption. Hopefully there will be many more in the future. Thanks Hi,

So disappointing, especially with such a great guest! Can you do anything to fix this? Once again, the interview sounded like it was conducted via satellite to Mars.

However, your recordings are not clear. The introduction of this last one sounded like a cave or tunnel. And Liz I wish I could meet you - I cannot knit in the round for anything. The stitches stay straight the needle thread in the center is curly and I don't know what to do. Again, thanks for the PODCAST.

I really got into knitting once I discovered the escapist, meditative, calming qualities it brought to my daily life. I know that knitting has helped me focus my attention away from the more stressful things on my mind. I also noticed that knitting on the subway on the morning commute helps me to stay awake and wake my mind up gradually. I completely echo Liz saying that knitting in the round is very relaxing and easy. I have to agree with Zontee’s quote about knitting being the new yoga.

It sounded like there were psychedelic sci-fi noises in the background every time Sue talked! And everyone else sounds like they're talking in a long empty hallway...
