    While I was sorry to hear how miserable her first trimester was, Kathleen’s audio comment allayed my fear that I was the only knitter on the planet who had ingrained those morning-afternoon-evening sickness feelings into a project. I was knitting a beautiful cabled sweater for my husband when I became pregnant with our fourth child, and I suddenly could neither knit nor read nor watch TV properly. I was as sick with the fourth as I was with the first! Simply picking up the project bag to scuttle it from one place in the house to another made me nauseous.

    That beautiful cabled sweater made a great felted tote.

    I’m glad you found your muse – she must have been hanging out with Dolores! Another good show – I appreciate the time and energy you put into it.

    Hi Brenda – I’m currently catching up with your back episodes. A lot of what you say about life and your family sounds so familiar. My son started university last year, and although I am luck that he is only 80 miles away, I can really empathise with how you feel. Love most of the music, too, especially as it’s stuff I wouldn’t normally listen to. Keep up the good work,

    Listening to your podcast makes the rest of the world go away for a little while and makes my own knitting seem to flow more smoothly on the needles as I listen. I, too, am catching up on past episodes, doling them out as treats to myself.
    The music you choose adds just the right touch.

    Nice job Brenda! And Ed and Ethel hold a special place in my heart 🙂 I wanted to second the “When I get my Shit Together” as a theme song – if only I could play it for my students that are itching for graduation / summer vacation!

    Hi Brenda fron Naples, Fl! I love the podcast and want to point out one thing (yes, I am a frustrated English teacher): several times on the “air”, and in at least one post, refer to Folkwit as “Folkwitz”…their name is not plural…just Folkwit. Sorry, this cookie has some nuts in it!

    Again, thank you for a wonderful episode. Ed and Ethel again make everything just that much more exciting, funny, silly? Love them! Love Dave!

    And now I’m off to work on some rating system ideas for you. Catch you more later.

    Hey Brenda!

    Could you post the link to that free audio software you mentioned in this Podcast? I was driving when I heard it and now I have no idea what it was – or how to spell it.

    Thanks. You’re doing great!

    And, adding another 2 cents…I don’t listen to the music, but that’s because I get into a “zen” kind of mode when I listen to you talking and the music jars me out of it. But play on! I don’t mind doing the FF thing.

    Oh my gosh! I just listened to this one (um, am catching up, new listener, blah-da-blah-da-blah) and the essay and the guest sweater were both incredible! As a perennial why-aren’t-I-better-at-things-wow-this-knitting-really-works person, I’m THERE.
