Also appearing in....

Anyone who's still checking this blog out, don't forget that I've moved all my posting to my other blog, Spinnerin. Now that the podcast is over, following me on Twitter, reading the blog, or chatting with me on Ravelry is the way to find me!

Now on Twitter....

Okay....Y'all are the best. So many kind and encouraging words that it blows my mind - thank you, thank you.

And - I just got a texting phone. One with a qwerty keyboard, anyway, so thumb-thumbs like me can text easily. So - I will finally be utilizing my Twitter acct, and joining the rest of the civilized world (and, apparently, Stephen Fry). I'm Spinningerin on Twitter, so hey, follow me! I plan frequent goat updates, if that's the fix you'll still be craving. Mwa, mwa (Miss Piggy kisses).

Fare-thee-well and adieu

I'm afraid I've finally decided to end the podcast. I know this may seem sudden - but we've had so much going on this spring that I really don't feel like the podcast is high on the priority list any more. My sister seems to have an auto-immune disease, finances continue tight (but we're afloat, don't worry!), the goat herd and the dairy need more and more of my attention, and to be honest, I'm ready to back off a bit from my technological activities. I do plan to (when things are calmer) use my mike for LibriVox, and might adopt a couple of fairy tale books to record, so my voice will still be out there. I will continue to be on Ravelry and to blog a bit once in a while, and I would welcome any and all communications - the feedback I've had from listeners has made them friends.

MyPodcast.com has surfaced again, apparently, and I hope that folks will be able to continue to listen to the old episodes. I have had so many wonderful people get into contact with me - thank you all so much.

I hope that this ends on a high note, as well - I only wanted to podcast as long as it was fresh, and feel that I can end it now without regretting a loss of, well, Faery-Knitting-ness. I'd rather be a Calvin and Hobbes (if I can be so arrogant as to mention myself in the same sentence with such a work of genius) than a Garfield.

Thanks, y'all, and toodle-loo!

So sorry!

Okay, y'all - as several awesome listeners have told me, MyPodcast.com seems to be up again (waves tiny flag), but I'm not....I'm so sad to say that I'm down with the flu! It's a beast, too. I'm currently feverish and hacking. Plus, I'm not totally happy with that episode, so it needs some work before posting. I hope to be with y'all soon, before MyPodcast.com capsizes again. Must go rest now, then milk goats. Argh!

Stop the presses!

Okay, y'all - my good friend ToadyJoe has just informed me that MyPodcast.com is down for good. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, esp since I'm about to leave for work. I'll get back to y'all!

Some possiblities: find another free service (which doesn't look good, in this economy); pay for service, which I can't afford right now. Soliciting donations? Hm. Not sure if I want to do that.

Please share any thoughts y'all have on this: comment here, or email me at spinningerin(at)hotmail.com, or ravel-mail me (Spinnerin on Ravelry).

Thanks!

Waiting....

Ironically, I have a new episode recorded for y'all - and the support site is down! Argh! So as soon as MyPodcast.com gets itself up and running again, I plan to upload it, ohboy. (That, y'all, was my homage to John R. Erickson's Hank the Cowdog books - if confused, check out Rip and Snort the coyotes.)

Coming soon

Huzzah - we got the Mac! Ohmygosh, ohmygosh! I have to learn GarageBand, but Mom surprised me with a new mike, and I hope to have a new episode out as early as next week! Yay! I've really missed sharing with y'all. I shall get to work, and learn the program, and find a tale as well.

Meanwhile, check this book out. I LOVED it - read it cover to cover in a very short time. She verbalizes my feelings for Narnia, plus the drawbacks, plus much, much more, and so much more beautifully and critically than I ever could.

And in case you don't read my other blog, here's a picture of baby Chloe for you! Sesi popped her out on Wednesday, no problems.
