Another special thanks to Holly from Sheepish Podcast.

And a HUGE “Thank You” to our viewers! We love you all!

We forgot to thanks to Betsy (Betsy30) and Carol (dragondrummer) for their donations! We really appreciate it and it helps our podcast grow and improve as we find hosting and eventually have more contest and giveaways.

Speaking of giveaways, be sure to join our Month of Socks KAL! Any pair of socks knit between March 1-March 31, 2013 makes you eligible to win a skein of SweetGeorgia Yarns Tough Love Sock. Check out the link above for more information.


And one last thing before we get to the (k)nitty-gritty: WE ARE NOW ON ITUNES! (edited: iTunes might get wonky as we change hosts. I removed the link for now, sorry!) We will continue to post podcasts directly to the blog for our web viewers. Thanks to Tlessard3 and RogueFalcon70 for their wonderful iTunes reviews (and giving us some "Squee!" opportunities as we read them)!
