FO: Hitchhiker by Martine Behm
Sarah tells the story of a Make Up Skein of Yarn.
Schulana
We suggest Sarah do a Ravelry Advanced Search to find ideas for using her new ball of bulky yarn.
We answer a question from a listener, k4charlotte. When is a beginner knitter no longer a beginner? How do you know when you are an intermediate knitter or when you should back away from a pattern because you'd be in too deep?
Sarah answers part of this question with a quote from the Mason-Dixon Knitting Book.

Hello, I normally don't comment on knitting blogs, but I listened to your latest podcast (episode 74) and found it extremely helpful. Thanks for addressing the use of Ravelry's advanced search, as I found some clearance yarn at Hobby Lobby that I was unsure about. I have two separate friends that are expecting babies around the same time in August, and this will be a great way to find projects for them. I always enjoy listening to your show. Thanks again, Michele (fiberlunatic on Ravelry)
Hi my names Laura ( lauramag on Rav ) i am new to your show and love it, it's like having a coffee morning with friends .
Hi Paula!
I've listened almost since the beginning, but have never gotten in touch. I had some computer issues and have lost many episodes that I hadn't listened to yet. So.. I am now catching up. I'm on episode 44, and am working my way forward. I enjoy each and every episode, both as a knitter and nature lover. I feel closest to God when I'm surrounded by His Creation! I also appreciate your detailed shownotes, and the beautiful music is the pefect way to close the show. I listen mostly while knitting in my favorite chair. I also am the mother of sons, so the episode where you shared that you found BB holes in the closet wall made me laugh out loud, as I could imagine one of mine doing something like that!
Blessings to you!
Wow! I can't believe Bronwyn finished that Maluka so fast!! It took me awhile just to get the rhythm of the lace border, especially that unusual 'lifted' stitch detail. I'm doing the Maluka for some relaxed "me" knitting and I'm taking my time, but I still couldn't believe she whipped that out in such a short time! You go girl.
