Just finished listening to this episode. Halloween isn’t typically my thing, but still thought it was a great show, as usual. My only gripe? Please stop saying that everything is “so cute”!

Great episode ladies, I loved hearing about all the fun Halloween projects! Right after listening, I looked up the candy corn pattern and started hooking away. I took the suggestion from the episode and added little faces to make them even cuter. Here’s a link to the pics:

Just wanted to leave a note and say I really enjoy the podcast. I don’t get to yarncraft as much as I’d like, but I enjoy listening to you talk about it while at my day job! I got a lot of good ideas for projects for me and my 7 year old from this podcast. Keep up the good work.

I love this podcast - Liz & Zontee and anyone they interview come with me while I walk my dogs - I always listen to it on the next walk after a new edition.

I loved this episode! I made amigurumi candy corn and now I’m branching out into other amigurumi- it’s an obsession!
Your podcast is the best. I love that when you talk about a project I can easily find the pattern, and that your podcast has a point.
Though I’ve listened to other podcasts about yarncrafting, they seem to really ramble and not be very interesting, especially for those who are not working on the same project or who are new to the craft.
Thank you for doing podcasts that include all talent levels and a variety of projects. I really enjoy that your podcasts are personal but still have a point and are inclusive to all crafters!

I’ve been knitting for about 8 years now, and i recently decided to learn how to crochet. My first crochet project was actually the Amigurumi Penguin pattern from Lion. the finished product was adorable, and I’ve had request to make several more! I also keep searching for more amigurumi patterns, these cute little animals come together so quick, and they make excellent little gifts!
