Listener Feedback
Lissette emailed me around the end of February and said that she's another one who keeps a sock in her purse in case she gets stuck somewhere. She heard me mention it on a previous podcast, and said she thought she was the only one!
I got a comment from Janet Szabo of Big Sky Knitting Janet is the designer of the (FLAK) Follow The Leader Aran Knit-Along, and the author of several books, including one great book on Aran sweater design.
