  3. Loved your podcast. It's okay not to act our ages all the time;) I always act like that if I am having a crafting night with one of my crafty friends. Don't be so hard on yourself. If other people don't like it they just need to get over themselves, because this podcast is about you and that's why we like it. ;)

  5. Sarah, you are killing me (in a good way) with the knitting. I thought I was in Sandy's camp but the way you talk about knitting makes me want to try it out. Plus it sounds like a great way to hang with the husband when he watches TV. Funny how you almost brought your knitting into see HP. :) So....where does someone who has never been in a yard store, seen knitting needles in person, START? Should I just go into a yarn store? Can you recommend a newbie website for me? Thanks!

  6. Hi Susan. I am SO happy to help convert you to the dark side. Ha!

    The link above is an invaluable resource. It's how I learned to go from a scarf to a sweater.

    Buy a pair of size 8 straight needles (bamboo or metal - doesn't matter at first). Then, buy a ball of worsted weight yarn.

    Follow the tutorial and "cast on" 40 stitches. Then, follow the tutorial for "garter stitch" (you'll knit on both sides). Before you know it, you'll have a scarf!

    Happy to help trouble shoot. Feel free to email me!

    I highly recommend you try to find a yarn store to help you too. And they will have better quality product than big-box stores.

    Good luck, and please keep me posted!
