Episode 82 That Pesky Purl

Listen here or use the Flash Player on this site for current and past episodes.
This show by sponsored by my Longaberger Home Business and Quince& Co.

The folks at Quince & Co believe that businesses can be good citizens—should be good citizens—without making too much a fuss about it. So, they have created a line of thoughtfully conceived yarns spun from American wool or sourced from earth friendly overseas suppliers. Find them at www.quinceandco.com and while you are there, sign up for their free e-newsletter.

I enjoy your feedback, comments on the blog, and questions.  Feel free to write to me at Paulaef@aol.com or on Ravelry as PrairiePiper.  My business site is www.longaberger.com/paula

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.

Thank you for another good podcast, Paula.

You have piqued my husband"s interest enough regarding owls that he has agreed, somewhat reluctantly because he is not a primo carpenter, to make us a couple of owl houses for our back property.

We don't let out 2small dogs out without carefully watching since we have owls in our area.

Loving my PJS!

i love your podcast. i always look forward to each new one.

In the show notes you state,"BostenJen has a new podcast called Down Cellar StudioPodcast.
Erin, MommyNeedsYarn has video from the Knitting Pipeline Retreat on her show. Episode 48 RetreatRecovery Thank you, Erin! "

the click through link for RetreatRecovery by MommyNeedsYarn seems to be incorrect as it, too, clicks over to Down Cellar StudioPodcast, the earlier link.

anyway, i just wanted to point that out to you. please let me know if you get the corrected link as i'd like to listen to that, too.

knit on.
