"hi, my name is jake, and i'm a knitting blogger husband. (restrained sob)." we can meet in an underground bunker. jake. hey zeepo, i was actually thinking about trying one of those giant buckingham palace guard hats. the big q-tip looking ones that have the strap. i’ll have to make sure she is way asleep though. i’m definitely up for a support group. “hi, my name is jake, and i’m a knitting blogger husband.

They are just usually poorly written and not funny. I just do not think the medium has come into it's own yet. <br/><br/>Listen to me I called it a medium. I am becoming goofy in my old age.<br/><br/>And it is not nice to abuse your husband to entertain your blog readers. My wife likes to ...... well never mind. Just know I had nothing to do with those picture. I was asleep.<br/><br/>Oh and have you thought of hats. You can usually get a Viking Helmet on a sleeping spouse or maybe a jester hat.<br/><br/>I am a heavy sleeper and Carol once .... well never mind. It involved a magic marker and I have been metally scared because of it. <br/><br/>Well if Jake is reading this remember use hats and hope your wife is heavy sleeper.<br/><br/>And I think I will be starting a support group for the abused Husbands of Knitting Bloggers.

And it is not nice to abuse your husband to entertain your blog readers. My wife likes to …… well never mind. Just know I had nothing to do with those picture. I was asleep.

Oh and have you thought of hats. You can usually get a Viking Helmet on a sleeping spouse or maybe a jester hat.

I am a heavy sleeper and Carol once …. well never mind. It involved a magic marker and I have been metally scared because of it.

Well if Jake is reading this remember use hats and hope your wife is heavy sleeper.

And I think I will be starting a support group for the abused Husbands of Knitting Bloggers. Let me know if you are interested.

That photo of Jake is hilarious. Made me snort my coffee! As for podcasts, for me, the most important thing is the story-telling ability of the podcaster. If the story is good, I can listen forever. I would have to say my favorite so far is the podcast at Insubordiknit. Jacey can really tell a story, her voice tone is great and I could listen to her for hours. She just seems very authentic - no airs. I enjoy Lime 'n Violet. Sometimes, they are rip snortin' funny. I listen after they put the show notes up so that I can follow along with the yarn porn. It is an awesome way to get your yarn noticed. If you are thinking of doing a podcast I do have one request - could you do the whole thing in a fake accent of some sort? I think I might find that amusing, but then again it's been a long day. Natasha! That photo of Jake is hilarious. Made me snort my coffee!

Otherwise, it is loading fine for me.<br/><br/>As for podcasts, well - I'm biased. Because I am a podcaster. So since I probably can't accurately answer your questions, I'll just invite you to check out the Pointy Sticks podcast if you haven't already, and if you did but didn't like it I hope you will try it again as I am tweaking the format lately. I've been cutting back on the music, normally only adding it at the end now instead of throughout the show. I've been adding interviews and/or "knit chats" with other knitters, and they have worked well. The Nancy Bush interview and retreat review will be coming up this week (On 1/31 or 2/1/07) and next week is the podcast anniversary.<br/><br/>Matter of fact, if you would be interested in donating a prize for the anniversary - that would be awesome. I just swooned over your yarns and fiber a few minutes ago (which I can't buy thanks to traveling this weekend), and it is a GREAT way to get the word out to thousands of people...
