NOHO KNITS PART 1

I take the Yarn Crawl on the road today and visit Northhampton. I sit down to talk to the owners of WEBS.

Here are some links to some things that we talk about on the show:
Lexi Barnes - hot bags made in MA
Vermont Organic Fiber - Environmentally happy yarn made in VT
ECO Wool - Good value, sorta environmentally friendly
Hempathy - Elsebeth Lavold makes pretty things
Bamboo Yarn - Classic Elite has been playing with this stuff for a while
Corn Yarn - I would love to try this out
Rowan Soy Yarn - It looks so yummy

This weeks drawing is for a copy of Joelle Hoverson’s Last-Minute Knitted Gifts.

MUSIC
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by Twisted Sister

    Wow! Another great show…..I’ve always wondered about Webs. Thanks for the tour! Also, it was great to hear Twisted Sister again. Ho ho ho!

    You could try to drink … a lot. I have found that knitting while around my family helps me ignore them and pretend to count even when I’m not. :D They just leave me alone and let me knit and I don’t have to talk to those people I don’t know or like. It’s better than going in and playing the annoying ppl bingo game. :P

    Thank you for podcasting, it’s such a treat to hear you talk. Your last one was so cute!
    I liked your playing of Panic at the Disco, and now I see there will be Twisted Sister!
    Be careful of those copyright laws!

    Hey Guido -

    Thanks so much for taking time to visit with us. Steve and I had such a great time with you and “Punkin” (used with the utmost respect). Our team is still talking about you and the wedding project and are in need of an update! I think I can safely say you have your back up team should it be required! You needed some Jimmy Buffet Holiday instead of Twisted Sister - just our suggestion :) Or at least Charlie Brown Christmas. Don’t get me wrong - I’m a product of the 80’s (I was a slave to Aqua Net) but a Buffet interlude would’ve been so cool :)

    We recorded our next show today and made a huge shout out to your podcast and the interview. We’ll run here locally on Saturday and be up on iTunes early next week.

    Happy knitting and happy holidays. Hope to catch up again in the New Year.

    All our Best

    Kathy (and Steve who is sound asleep and owes you an in-person apology for a gaff he made on the show. I corrected him on-air, but apology still required)

    I was asked to knit a huppah for my chosen-brother’s wedding a few years back.. but before I got to the point of actually starting, they changed their minds and used a hand-woven prayer shawl instead… so no giant lace knitting for me!

    Hope it goes well.. do we get to see pictures? :)

    Thanks for the podcasts, they keep me company on bus rides and cafe knitting sessions!

    Thank you for your podcasts. They are so great! I am looking forward to uploading them all to my ipod to keep me company on the long ride home to New Orleans. I just enjoy them so much that I am sure I will enjoy lisening to them all again. It will also give me something to listen to when my great Aunt begins to grill me as to why my husband and I don’t have any offspring. :) Keep up the great casts!

    Here is another Reindeer game- it’s silly and a little demented:

    Find someone to compete with, then pick a start and end date for the contest. Keep count of how many Christmas trees you see that have an animal, angel, etc for the topper that appear to be, um, ’sitting on the tree’. If you get my drift!

    It gives you a little secret giggle when shopping in stores and boring company holiday parties!

  8. Dorothy Says:

    I’m constantly amazed at all the things that yarn can be made out of! it’s crazy! Corn yarn. Do you think it would make you crave popcorn every time you knit with it?
