Hi, Staci.
I just finished listening to Podcast 152. For the listener who asked about yarn shops in Paris, there is La Bien Aimée. She has a shop and she is also a dyer. I am going to be in Paris at the end of September, and visiting her shop and buying some of her yarn is definitely on my list of places to go. Her web site is https://www.labienaimee.com/.
I want to join others to say that your videos and tutorials have been so helpful to my knitting progress, and now that I’ve discovered your podcasts, I am excited that, along with audio books, I have something to listen to while I knit. Thank you!
I just listened and I think the Hat Not Hate is definitely something that’s needed. I was bullied from my first day of Kindergarten to the day of my high school graduation. It was called getting picked on or teased back then. We were expected to deal with it ourselves. All these years later, the insecurities are still there. Anyway, my point is Hat Not Hate and the other anti-bullying campaigns are great.
