  • Disappointed

    I have listened to you ladies for years. I’m pretty sure I know what your political views are, but to not even mention the murder of Charlie Kirk, a Christian, is just disgusting. Had you made a blanket statement that violence should not be tolerated I would still continue to listen to your show. However, not anymore. Disappointed in both of you as human beings who appeared to have empathy for everything that’s wrong in this world.

  • Love to knit along with them

    New listener here. I am working my way through their backlog. I love their School of Knit episodes and have learned a lot! They also talk about current issues like store closings, test knitting, and size inclusivity! Their ravelry group is very friendly and helpful. I also like how they do knit a longs. This is a fabulous podcast and I am looking forward to listening to their older episodes and new ones!
