I love your show, please keep it on the air. I quilt most of the time, but knitting and crochet are a nice change in my day. I have done both for many years, as my Aunt taught me how to knit and crochet when I was very young, like around 6. I am a self taught quilter, and make many quilts every year. Thanks again, Shirley

OOOhhhhh how luck you are to have a programme dedicated to knitting - in fact to any sort of craft. In England unless you want to make cards there is nothing. Wool shops and shops for embroidery are a thing of the past here. Any chance of getting the show shown here in England??

"You can download the free pattern for the expanded sizing version of the Monkey Socks from our Knitting Daily TV website. " This was a hotlink from Knitting Daily email from 3/25/09. The link doesn't work and I can't find the expanded sizing for the Monkey Socks. Can you help? Diane

Please upload again as I cannot download the pattern. I have tried to download other patterns from your site, but the same message comes up. Is your method of uploading causing this problem? Knitter Too

The file is still corrupted!! I found it at knitty.com, but it would be nice to have an Acrobat file that is nicer and better formatted without all the web stuff. I can't wait to try this sock.

I cannot catch that stretchy basic cast-on for socks, as demonstrated by Nancy Bush. It seems to be the perfect way to start a sock.

I don't see how you can say that the downloads are free when you require that we give you valuable information  (e.g. our email address and name) before you let us download anything.

What type of double pointed needles does Eunny Jang use?  I've seen her use colored, metal needles on several episodes, yet I cannot find them online anywhere!  Does anyone know?

I use Boye or Susan Bates needles.  I find them either at JoAnn's or at Michaels.

I love the Knitting Daily TV show!  Is there a way to download the Estonian cast on method demonstrated by Nancy Bush?

Thank you!
