Comments on: Show 3 – Just cast on http://sticksandstring.wordpress.com/2006/11/11/show-3-just-cast-on/ A podcast by an Australian bloke who knits.

I'm only up to ep 3 so far, but I just had to stop listening to drop you a comment about Father Ted. I love Father Ted, and have had my eyes on the DVDs for a while. I've lived in Canada all my life, but was raised by my British parents so I have a deep love of all those English comedies. Favourite Dougal moment has to be the 'this cow is very small/that cow is far away' scene in the caravan. It's great to hear a guy's perspective on knitting, please keep the podcast going!

I've really been enjoying your podcast. I've got to look for that itty bitty hat book,as I've got several new nieces and nephews, plus I think Half my friends are currently pregnant! Father Ted is great! It is one of those shows that I take out again and again and it cracks me up every time! Keep up the good work, Eileen Hi David!

I too liked the sock-stance image, and was giggling out loud in the coffee shop where I was spending a couple hours knitting between jobs. My knitting-related recollection of Australia was from my one visit to Sydney in 2002 to play waterpolo during the Gay Games.. and I really wanted to find a yarn store! Wound up going on a long bus ride to some area of the city I don't even remember other than it was across the bridge... and bought some possum yarn! The perfect souvenir of my trip! Sydney is the only other city I've been to in the world that I can see myself living in (I'm in Vancouver, BC, Canada now...).. and I hope to go back some day :) (hey, ever been to Vancouver? I just met a Sydneyite who feels the same way about this city..) Just downloading the earlier podcasts now, can't wait to listen later tonight :) Thanks so much! X.

You have a wonderful voice and a great attitude. I am Irish (Dublin born) and live in the US. I love Father Ted and I'm glad to hear that some Australians love it too. Don't forget to mention, although it is produced in Britain, it is written by Irish writers and acted by Irish actors/actresses. I have the whole series too. It sure does make me laugh and homesick at the same time. I love listening to you and your wonderful Australian voice. Keep up the good work. Clare David

Knitting is one result. As I listened to your podcast this morning, I was knitting a sock from some of my handspun yarn :) and wondering if, once you do the same, you'd feel as enthusiastic about knitting with commercial yarn. Anyway, as you suspect, walking into a spinning shop can be as dangerous as walking into a knitting shop, and all these "roads" lead to the same end - enjoyment working with fiber, expressing yourself through fiber, feeling pleasure and satisfaction when working with fiber.
