Podcast Appreciation-

1. YarnTalk- How did I miss this podcast? Love :)
2. Sticks plus Twine podcast, Eric is the host and I just joined his Tea Swap, looking forward to it. 

Q&A-

1.  Is there an equivalent to Rhienbeck or Knitters East in California? Stitches West, I am goint to the expo on Saturday Feb 20th. 
2. Quilting stuff: I will do a segment on this later in the podcast. Jessie25 on Ravelry known as Jessie :) Is starting to learn to quilt and wanted to know my feedback on the Quilt as you go method.
3. KerryJoyce on Raverly, Kerry :) She also is starting to quilt and wanted me to a segment on what tools do you really need to get started in quilting. THat will come later in the podcast. She also is in big trouble because I think she just tipped me over the edge on buying a spinning wheel. She recommended the Bliss by Woolmakers they are from Holland. It looks like the perfect size.
