    Josh, I love your Rams and Yowes blanket. It is breath taking.

    You should see Kaffe Fassett's line of fabrics. OMG, the colors are beautiful. I'm also a quilter and have made quilts using his fabric. He's knits are beautiful also, it's just not something i can do. Can't wait to see how your blanket turns out.

    Love your show! Keep up the enthusiasm. sure hope you open up a Ravelry page.

    You are a breath of fresh air! I enjoy seeing your work with a different view on colors and the yarn you choose. I too do not have a circle of knitting friends and consider all the pops asters that I learn to and watch my knitting friends. Look forward to your next episode. Thanks for sharing.

    I couldn't find you after hearing about your podcast from the Knitgirllls, but today Steve from Dramatic Knits mentioned you and he has the link to your blog so I've added you to my google reader so I won't miss an episode. I've caught up with the 4 so far and enjoyed them. Don't have any useful feedback and no opinion on the Celestine so I'm not much help there. It's nice to see what others are doing, so thanks for sharing!
