Thanks:
- Many thanks to Wendy from Wendy’s Modest Dress for sending me my first podcaster pressie, which I am obviously very chuffed about. I received four gorgeous skeins of hand dyed yarn in the colourway “Antony and Cleopatra” – beautiful purples and aqua’s.
- Wendy sells custom handmade sock bags as well as fibre…check it out here.
- Thanks also to Andrea and Cindy who have joined me in the Pay It Forward Swap…some time in the next 6 months you will recieve…a mystery something. There is still one place left – you just have to sign up on my personal blog - Changelingthings
- Thanks to Yan Tan Tethera from Ravelry for sharing her instructions for the boarder of her pinwheeel baby blanket.
- A long overdue thank you to those of you who have left reviews on itunes – it’s very much appreciated.
- Thanks to those who have left comments on the site or contacted me through Ravelry to let me know you enjoy the show or make friends. It’s great fun to see where you are all from, and really helps encourage me to keep going with this.

You can get a “real” Nostepinne from the NSW Hand Weavers and Spinners Guild (I believe they should still have some). I got mine when I took my beginning spinning course and it was a fairly reasonable $8 for a handmade one of pretty jacaranda wood.
Of course nothing wrong with a bit of dowel or a large knitting needle either!

I want you to know I love your podcast so much! You always worry about not putting out enough, but I personally like that you don’t put them out too often. That way it’s a nice treat when one pops up and the quality of the podcast is always top notch. I will sometimes hoard them until I have an unpleasant task to do (usually washing dishes when I let them get too numerous) and it makes the chore not seem like a chore. You make me laugh out loud all the time.
