Andrew (my husband) loved this episode. Specifically, how thoughtfully and methodically you went through it. (I thought it was pretty sweet, too.)

I love this pattern!! Addictive is the word for it, and it works up sooo much faster than the knitted bsj. Booklet format is great too.

I once worked with a guy (American) who claimed that guys (American) don’t generally make friends after high school and almost never after college. Until they get married, they ‘hang out with the guys.’ After marriage, they let their wives create the social life as a couple. I don’t know whether this is different in Columbia, or you just left at the cusp moment.

Just listened for the first time. Very interesting, lots of great information and well done. If I’m not mistaken the music you chose to end with was on the soundtrack of “Last of the Mohicans”. Loved that movie and the soundtrack was awesome. Looking forward to your next podcast. Have a great day!

Oh, your BSJ is GORGEOUS! I have never even considered knitting one before because I’ve never seen a color combo I liked I guess — this one completely changes my mind about the whole project!

I am thinking about the binary opposition of knitting to tinking. The issue I see is that you cannot tink unless you have knit, but you can knit without tinking. Tinking seems to be too occaisional to be considered oppositional. Am I going in the right direction? This is a new concept for me.

Hey…welcome back! (From one who has only just arisen again herself). I loved your show and the talk on structualism - it’s cleared out cobwebs in this woolly brain. I love the baby suprise jacket too. And that seven deadly spins…Kudos to you!

Comment on Garter Stitch, Cringe or Crave - Episode 2 by Gail Gary

Sir: A bit late to the party, but I only JUST discovered your blog. Had to ring in on the Garter-stitch thing. Everyone does seem to love it, but I find it…ugly. I try to avoid it whenever I can, simply because I don’t enjoy its monotonous little horizontal ocean waves. However, garter stitch worked in a design lengthwise…such as in a cardigan or sweater…I do like. It seems to flow into the design and enhance the wearer! I was very frustrated when first starting knitting that the garter stitch was king, and I couldn’t wait to achieve a stockinette. (After a couple of years, I finally can produce a higher quality of stockinette fabric that pleases me. I’m fussy about how it looks, and I must have evenness in my stitches–more than most other women I encounter, who are just happy they’re making something). Also, you are right on about using purl in a reversed fashion to create some texture interest. I used Berocco Suede (just one ball for experimenting with, ’cause it’s ridiculously expensive and low yardage), and did a long, thin experiment with garter and reverse purl treatment. It looked cool, actually, like a…Navajo blanket or similar. It would make a nice runner in a dollhouse, I guess. The fact it was the Suede stuff helped too, because it has very appealing visual qualities (although it’s still idiotically expensive and low-yardage), but the fact that I liked the result made me appreciate the possibilities of garter stitch and its ilk. By the way, I believe the reverse treatment is called “welting”…got that from the famous Mary Thomas book. Knit on!!

Charles, what a great podcast. Thanks for mentioning Sittin and Knittin on Main! I have tests when I first enter yarn stores too. I want to be greeted but not harrassed and not ignored. I think us fibre freaks all have our own yarn store quirks!

Am sooo glad you’re back to podcasting. Have been enjoying knitting and listening. Have got to mention how cute the bunny avatar is. He must be such an asset to your home. As an American (Monterey, California) I especially appreciate your discussion of Canadian LYS’s and Canadian customs and events. susan93940@hotmail.com
