Welcome to Knitting Pipeline, the knitting podcast with a Celtic flare. Here is your host, Nitter and Piper,

Lala,

recording from Central Illinois, USA. Hello, welcome to knitting pipeline. This is episode 3. Thank you so much for joining me today.

I'd like to thank all of you who got in touch with me in the past week to 10 days.

It means so much for me to get some feedback about the show and your encouragement means so much. I'd like to thank

Bronwyn and Kristen, Mary Ann, Meta, Kim, Gail, Abby, Kimonette, and Sonia.

And a special thanks to those who left reviews on iTunes, Ru,

yes, I'm that Lisa, and Bronwyn.

The reviews on iTunes and those of you who have starred the podcast on iTunes.

That does help my podcast show up.

It's finally kind of showing up with some ratings. So I

appreciate that very much. So let's jump right into the show. As for my own knitting this week, what's been going on?

Well, we've had the pleasure of having my husband's sister and three of her children visit for the week.

They're not staying with us, but they've spent a lot of time here, and we try to spend a little bit of each day with them.

The girls are 2017 and 10.

The 20-year-old and the... 17 and 10.

the 20 year old and the 10 year old said they wanted to learn to knit.

I had been thinking about asking them if they wanted to learn to knit, but before I had the chance they approached me the first night that we were having dinner here at our house and I said, well, you've landed in the right place. I think the next day then they came over for the afternoon and we got started.

It's pretty cute because the 10-year-old really is a perfectionist.

Well, they both are to a certain extent, but I think the older one realizes that there

are going to be some mistakes. The 10 year old just wants it to be perfect.

And I always tell beginning knitters, you will make mistakes. Just accept it. There will be mistakes.
