UPDATE: There appears to be a problem with this episode. I’m aware of it. Some people have been able to get the file, others are getting a 404 message. Things were working fine this morning, and a few hours later they weren’t. I’m trying to chase the problem with Libsyn. I’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE: Fixed!

Interesting chat! Love all that color. Inspiring to knit to!
Loved the interview with Kristin Nicholas. I could definitely use a workshop with her – I have never worked with more than two colors on a project out of sheer terror that my color choices will look like yarn barf.
Thanks for the podcasts – they keep me sane on the congested roads of Essex
Hi Brenda! Kristin sounds just like my mother regarding all of her color. My mom is a master quilter and saturates all of her work with color~color ~color! I too would love to spend some time on the farm. Thank you for fun interview.
Hey Brenda, I am glad you enjoyed your time here and the states. Thanks for the podcast from Kristin’s farm. I honestly don’t know how she manages the work and having time to be creative.
Just discovered your site via Kristin Nichols’ Blog. What a treat! I’ll definitly be back. I’ve only recently found her blog and am inspired by her use of color and the combination of knitting and embroidery. Would love to make it to one of her retreats some day.
Nice Podcast again Brenda!
This yarn looks lovely.
What an inspiration! Thank you Brenda for lovely episode!
Enjoyed the farm.
Am I too late to get in on the contest????
Loving these postcard podcasts!!!
Life on the farm sounds hard, but rewarding. And the yarn looks lovely.
I love this podcast. If I am not listening to an audiobook while knitting, then Cast-on must be playing in my ears as I knit. This podcast reminds me of how much I miss Massachusetts;and, it brings wonderful childhood and 1980s college memories in Massachusetts to light as though it was yesterday and not 24 yrs ago living in Western Massachusetts. Thank you Brenda for bringing me home through this podcast segment
I love farm sounds and your descriptions of color. One day I’ll visit the East coast in the fall.
Thank you! Your podcasts are great and they help pass the time when i can’t sleep! What neat ideas for postcard podcasts!

Hi! I love your podcasts,wish they were longer. I grew up on a dairy/beef farm. I tried to get Dad to get sheep, but there was no money in sheep farming, he had 6 kids to feed. I have been knitting with Classic Elite when I can find it. I have also knit Kristina designs from her earlier books. Love her design approach.
Did I miss it? I love the podcast, loved meeting you in Mpls. So glad Kristina’s yarn is coming back. Sweet. I enjoyed, very much, hearing the sheep-miss being around sheep and goats. Thanks for bringing them back to me.
A rainy Wednesday. Catching up on podcasts & knitting, whilst visiting my DS. Thank you, Brenda, for helping to make my life brighter! ~xoxo
Made my first socks cuff down. Now tackling second pair toe up. Yet another learning curve – keep telling myself “Brenda likes starting toes.” So far, all I have is frayed yarn. I’ll get toes eventually.
Love her new patterns. Have both books in the shop.
Hey,
Just so you know, I’m very anxiously awaiting your Halloween/Anniversary Podcast.
I’ve been listening to your podcast for, well… since sometime in August I guess? I’ve been listening to it backwards (from most recent to oldest) and honestly, I feel like I’m old friends with an avid knitter! FINALLY!!!
I learned to knit from Youtube a few years ago at age 24 and needless to say, no one I knew then was knitting. Now 27 and still no knit-freak friends by my side (though I now have a few who “knit around the holidays”), it’s nice to listen to you in all your Knitterly Geekery. I quite enjoy feeling like I’m not the only one totally ecstatic that I “figured out how to do the increases this way”. I can relate, you know?
Anyways, just dropping a line hoping you read it one day when your podcast resolve gets tested- PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP PODCASTING!!!
You rock too hard to stop podcasting…
Happy Podtastic Anniversary, Brenda,
Cam from Ottawa, Canada
and yes, poutine is awesome.
