KnitPicks Podcast

I have recently become addicted to the Knit Picks Podcasts.  I’m not exactly sure what the appeal is, since I don’t knit very much.  It must be all the chatting about yarn, dying, spinning, and interviews with authors.  I checked out the website and they have so much amazing yarn.  The only downfall is that I can’t snuggle with it before I commit to buying.  Their prices aren’t bad either.  I really love that (at least for now) there is FREE shipping for order over $50!  And that is not a hard number to hit!  

I was listening to an old podcast from July 3, 2008, it was an interview with Gale Zucker the photographer for Shear Spirit.  I have yet to check out the book but I loved the interview!  Kelley, the podcast hostess, asked Gale if she could have any livestock in on a little farm what would she have.  Her answer to my great delight...alpacas and goats!  I was pulling some bread out of the oven and when I heard that I started laughing out loud!  I thought I was the only one on this planet that was that crazy to pick that combination of livestock.  I was happy to hear I’m not the only crazy person on the planet.  

I will eventually buy some Knit Picks’ yarn, but until I have some disposable income, I will be content with what I have and enjoy listening to the podcast.  www.knitpicks.com

Daily Audio Bible

Last year (2010), I discovered the Daily Audio Bible on itunes.  I listened on and off that year, but this year I have been (fairly) constant in listening to the Daily Audio Bible daily.  What is the Daily Audio Bible you ask?  It is the Bible being read every day every year, going through the entire Bible in one year.  Each day is a bit from the Old Testament, the New Testament, Proverbs and Psalms.  I enjoy being about to listen to the Bible and each week it is read from a different translation.

My only complaint (sort of), is that at the end there are called in prayer requests.  Sometimes I feel that some of the people are whining, selfish, and just annoying.  I usually just turn it off after the daily reading, so that in itself just by passes the problem.  

If you want to get in on this awesome way to go through the entire Bible every day of the year go to iTunes and search Daily Audio Bible and it will come right up or go to this link http://www.dailyaudiobible.com
