Hi ladies! I just discovered your podcast and subscribed via ITunes. Unfortunately, only episodes 30 through this one came through. Is there a quick way to download the first 29 episodes onto my computer without doing one at a time? Thanks, and I’ll keep listening!

When I was learning how to crochet last year, I listened to every YarnCraft episode and have since looked forward to each new show. It was my thrill-of-the-year to have my Woowork amigurumi blog mentioned in the podcast. Thanks, Liz & Zontee!

Hi Karen, iTunes archives older episodes as new ones come out, but you can always find links to all the episodes here at the YarnCraft blog. Simply right-click (ctrl+click on Macs) the “Direct Download” link at the bottom of each episode’s notes to save it to your computer. Import it into your iTunes as you would any MP3 or sound file, and enjoy!

Really Enjoy the podcasts… making a log cabin design out of left over yarn is a great idea! I’m going to try it, using cotton yarn left overs. I make a lot of dishcloths with different heart designs, and been saving the left over yarn from these projects for about three years…..probably enough to make a dish towel….bath towel;- ) Enjoyed watching the MS Yarn Show from MS web site…Wish I was in NY yarn crafting with Y’all
