Hi everyone! So I've been an avid Cast-On listener ever since I took up knitting about two years ago, and I finally got the nerve to email Brenda and ask if she'd play one of my songs (I'm also a singer/songwriter)... and she did!!!! I'm totally floored, and humbled, and it's SO cool to see my two greatest passions, knitting and music, come together.
She played it on her episode that came out today, and I'm so giddy I can barely type. Just wanted to share the news with you all, since you've all been really supportive and helpful with my knitting (lace shawl coming soon - thanks to everyone who helped with that).
Love you guys!
Alyssa

| Congratulations! I've recently discovered Cast-on, and am working my way through the old episodes. I've admired BD's taste in music, so I'm anxious to hear your performance... |

Hey thanks so much for the support and kind words, guys. I too worked my way through all the back episodes recently, and I LOVE Brenda and the show. I could never get sick of her. :) it just seems to get better and better, no? Anyway, I'm still so honored! Thanks everyone!

Hey! Cast On can either be downloaded as a Podcast through iTunes, or you can go to www.cast-on.com and I'm pretty sure you can listen to it there.
If you haven't heard it, you must! Brenda Dayne is fantastic, and her podcast is VERY well made... every knitter should listen. :)
Enjoy!
