Hey Carry!

I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed hearing all about silk last week. I like that you give a lot of information about each topic! I also would like to thank you for having the courage to tell Lacy’s story this week. It is so easy for people to look the other way when things aren’t pretty.

I always look forward to your podcasts, your style really appeals to me. I feel like I am catching up with an old friend, Thanks!

Carry, you are an amazing storyteller and today’s was one of the best I’ve heard in a long time. I knew a Lacie growing up too. Probably most of us did. It was good to be reminded. Thank you

Hi Carry! I also enjoyed last week’s episode on silk. I really like the fact that you change up your format and alternate between stories, knitting lessons, fibers, etc. Every new episode is a highlight in my week. It’s all good, as they say! As a new knitter I feel I’ve learned a bunch from your experience. Thanks!

Hi, Carry. I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for sharing this week’s story. I have not yet listened to the silk episode, but I am sure it as just as wonderful as your other fiber episodes.

I always enjoy your podcasts and look forward to the wool show. The silk episode is very interesting to listen to. Even if I do not give feedback I listen to all the episodes!

I have been way behind in my listening of podcasts lately, but am quickly catching up. You still rock!!!!

I was wondering if you were planning on joining Ravelry? I just got my acceptance and am loving it.
What are your thoughts of Raverly.com?

Keep up the awesome work, I love listening to your shows!

Interesting story. Did you ever find out what happened to Lacey/Laci when she “grew up”?

Yes, I knew a few Lacy’s in my day. Talked until I was blue in the face to a few….Did some good for some and not for others…In those days, there was no way to get help from the “authorities”….It was always “nobody elses business”. When I talk to the young women in this small “berg”, they are about the same as back then….Work as a waitress, get knocked around and up, and life goes on. I’m still working on them when they let me….I WON’T give up.

Hi Carry, I tend to listen to podcasts when I’m roaming around–commuting or cleaning the house–so sometimes it’s hard to remember to get back and comment. I really like listening to your stories every week, but I actually think your informational shows are my superb. I was surprised when you mentioned about not getting any comments, and I wanted to let you know that you can’t do too many fiber shows for me!

Just wanted to let you know that I wouldn’t miss a show and I tell everyone I know to listen to your podcast. I rarely comment because I usually feel silly saying “me, too.” I loved the silk episode and learned a few things and have already had occasion to use some silk worm facts in conversation. (And sheep dog/shepherd dog, too.) Anyway, thanks, again!

Hi Carry, I’m still here listening but not always commenting, sorry. I love your show and like your stories of your experiences the most. I just wish they were longer, I usually listen and knit and 11 minutes is not that much knitting, you see my problem?
All my best to my favorite knitting podcast.

Carry,
I’m listening!! I listen to every single episode! I don’t have much time because I work and have two little kids that I really like to find time for, but when I’m out running I love to listen to your podcasts!! I’m sorry I don’t comment more, but it’s tough to get to it. Just so you know, I love all your stories, even this one that just makes us realize how good we have it in life. Thanks so much for all your podcasts and please talk more about fibers, I love info on fiber!! :))) Hugs from Germany!

I wanted to add my vote in support of the detailed shows you’ve been doing. You’ve given me some unique information I haven’t heard elsewhere.

Thanks for podcasting!
