We had some technical problems while recording this so you may have to watch your volume control during the recording. The birds who live in the hedge outside my house can also be heard making a guest appearance during this interview! The wonders of podcasting and a mic that picks up everything! :-)

Dear Marie,
Thank you for posting on KnitU to alert us to your podcast. I have been listening all morning and find them fascinating. It is so wonderful to hear the voices of the knitters I have met and/or read about as well as your conversations with others new to me.
Though I'm not finished listening to all of your previous interviews, I'm already excited about your upcoming guests. I met Annie Modesitt two weeks ago at the TKGA convention in Valley Forge, PA. Her perspective will add the comedy dimension to your show -- while again spiking our creativity as have all of your guests.
I will never tire of listening to what inspires designers. I enjoy learning about their backgrounds and/or "real" professions as well.
Thank you for taking the initiative to bring them closer to us via the podcast venue. You show is worthy of syndication on NPR. Best of luck with this endeavor.
Peggy

I have just listened to your interview with Lily Chin and I want to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I visited the Knit2Together exhibition at the Crafts Council in London and admired some of her work there. Now that I have found your Blog I'll listen to more of your interviews as time permits.

I would like to know how to get the pattern (or which book it is in) for the asymmetrical twin set with bolero that was featured on the Jane Pauley TV show last week. Thank you.

I am absolutely loving your podcasts. It is a wonderful way for me to be introduced to the medium.
I am curious, it was mentioned in KnitCast 05, in your interview with Lily Chin that she designs knitted bra patterns. I have been searching for this for some time. Do you know where abouts I could purchase this pattern or in what book it might be found?
Please keep the KnitCasts coming. They really make me smile when I listen to them on my way to work/school

E'Bert,
I believe there's a knitted bra pattern in Lily's book The Urban Knitter. Here's the Amazon link to the book

I do not usually leave comments on posts that I read, but I wanted to tell you that you have a very nice writing style. It is nice to see
someone that be able to break such a tricky topic down and make it easy to understand.
Thanks and all the best!
