Cast-On Review (a love letter to Brenda)

I started this blog post 7/24/2009. I just saw a tweet from Brenda that Cast-on episode 100 is DONE! I thought it appropriate to finish it and get it up in honor of the 100th episode.

I recently had to rebuild my iTunes library (back in 2009). During this adventure, all my podcasts were reloaded on my iPod. I decided that I would listen to these archived 'casts while I was on the Boy's Fishing Trip. It was like chatting with a long-time friend. 

The second podcast that I started listening to is Cast-On with Brenda Dayne. The first was KnitCast with Marie Irshad. I miss Marie's podcast. Brenda's comfort talking and sharing her ideas makes me want to travel to Wales and have a cup of tea with her, knit and go out and watercolor together. 



A Knitter's Manifesto - Artist's Edition CD is available and has been requested as my one Holiday gift for 2011. DH asked what the KM was all about. I thought I'd vlog about it so everyone who reads understands why I want a copy. He told me not to buy a copy of it so my fingers are crossed.

Thanks, Brenda.  I'm looking forward to the next 100 episodes.

Just found your blog, and am enjoying reading it. Great vest,and I know that store Lofty Lou's - I try to get to it when I head to Tahoe (missed this last visit).

I'm a Brenda fan as well!

I hadn't realized I'd missed a few of your posts. So sorry. I try to keep up but don't always comment. I love Brenda too. I think her podcast and the letsknit2gether podcast were the first ones I ever listened to/watched.
