The new website (mentioned in podcast #8) looks great!
I listened to this week’s podcast on my walk tonight and it made me laugh – I’m an experienced knitter who loves top-down socks with heel flaps and gussets (not because of a fit issue – I just love the method!) and I much prefer pointy wooden needles to metal. I knit loosely and wood helps me keep my tension. I probably would knit faster on metal needles, but I think my fabric would suffer. I also always use wooden DPNs for socks, mittens, gloves, etc. I’ve tried metal DPNs and it was a disaster, with stitches slipping around like crazy!
However — this is why there’s not one “right way” to knit! 😉
