got an hour to kill?

Yup, I done opened my mouth again. This time, the podcast was CraftSanity, and what you'll hear is me sounding more like me than any other interview I've done.

You know how sometimes you know stuff but you haven't had to articulate it so the stuff just floats around your head, all nebulous? Well, in this podcast, Jennifer, the host, got it all out of me.

I'm not one for Mission Statements. I think they're kind of pompous and usually pretty generic. But this podcast is about as close as I'll get to stating Knitty's mission...so if you are interested in why Knitty does things the way we do, give it a listen.

And then come back and tell me what you think, will you?

I thought it was a great interview. Jennifer obviously puts a lot of thought into the questions she has for her guests.

I've heard other interviews and chatted in person- by far the best- most "like you" ever.

Loved learning more about Knitty-history and knitty-ology (mission) I wish I could design--(not yet- but maybe some day:) - Knitty sounds like a team operated dream come true- both for you - and those on your team.

I'm convinced it was the Michigander bringing out the real Knitty:) But then- I could be biased. ;)

Honestly--- this interview has me inspired--- I have a book proposal 2/3 done-- and I chickened out before sending it in. --- (not knitting related) Now I'm thinking... you know? Anything could happen....


And I now have a knitting related (not patterns)book idea... hmmm won't kill me to try.;)
:) Thnx.

Gosh, what a delightful interview -- I've listened to her other ones as well, they are always good.

I've only been on the Knitty train for a year and a half, so it was fun to hear the history, but now I want to know what you've got planned for the site!

Wonderful interview. Great Job! It was really interesting hearing how Knitty got started and how you do business. Thanks!

I'm listening to "you" now, and it's really a fascinating 'cast.

Since I don't knit ...yet perhaps?...you may wonder how I found you ? thru an Australian blogger who was listening to Craftsanity. I now have another good podcast to listen to while I take my baby creative steps.

Great listen...you are very real -go girl with that Vespa!
