CleanEpisode 23: What Happened at Madrona | Very straighforward. I am sharing with you the audio from an early draft of what was supposed to be my post Madrona podcast. Sadly, I haven't been able to talk for any sustained periods since recording it. It's funny listening to the audio, I can definitely hear myself struggle more towards the end of the recording.

CleanEpisode 22: Road to Madrona | I'm back. And on my way to Madrona. This is a very freeform episode beginning with what's been going on with me, continuing into crafty talk and finishing with a quick run down about what's awesome about Madrona and what I'm packing and preparing for the trip. Skip kid talk by fast forwarding from 3:00 to 7:15 Aguona Laptop Bag: ravelry.com/patterns/library/aguona-laptop-bag If you're coming to Madrona, come to the podcaster meet and greet on Friday at 5 in the Rotunda.

Thank you to all my listeners who "Liked" the podcast on Facebook and got in touch with me during my unplanned hiatus.

Those of you who are in the area may consider attending Interweave's Knitting Lab and listening to talks by Barbara Walker and Alice Starmore. Stash and Burn Podcast We talk about jumpstarting your motivation once plan A has failed you. 1) Stay Positive! 2) Use a more powerful motivator than your cravings. I refer to this RadiolLab episode called "Help!" 3) Reevaluate your goals. Are you keeping your eyes on the prize? 4) Figure out what's stopping you 5) Be realistic 6) Be creative Netflix.com has the exercise video I've been using here. Turns out it is also available on Hulu.com here. Knitting and Spinning update: Evenstar Shawl progress continues and I feel like I'm almost done!

CleanEpisode 12: Pick a doctor | Small Talk: Still having sinus pain Guava season is here! And anyone have any ideas on how to deal with gophers? Mole Mover: www.exhart.com/Preview_PestControl.html I did do a little networking with some LYS owners and hope to record some more episodes soon! Finding a good doctor: Decide what's important to you. Location -- near your home or work? Think about your radius in terms of time and distance Office Hours Payment -- Insurance vs self paid (possibly reimbursed by insurance) Approach -- Group practice or Solo doctor More tests/referrals vs fewer Do you value efficiency and speed or time spent with each patient? Is having a specific hospital or specialist available important to you? Online reviews are available, but keep the salt handy. Above all, realize it is okay to make a switch if it's not working out. Make a short list so you don't have to start over again from scratch. Fiber Festival: Southern California Handweaver's Guild Fiber Festival. Go, if you haven't!

Or do what I did and buy premixed packets, they worked out to be $10 for a packgage of 100. Instead of inhaling or squirting the solution in, I prefer to let gravity slowly fill my sinuses and then lean over and let everything flow out and alternating nostrils.

This podcast is a good mixture of knitting talk and wellness. I really enjoy the podcaster's tours through Southern California too. I hope she stays around for a long time!
The Well Knitted Life podcast is a winner!
I really enjoyed listening to the first three episodes of The Well Knitted Life podcast. This podcast has fresh & fun content that combines an interest in the fiber arts with helpful information on healthy living and community, presented by a physician in a friendly accessible manner. I plan to make The Well Knitted Life a regular part of my weekly podcast listening!
Great podcast!!
Fantastic knitting/fiber content! Wonderfully organized! Very professional and informative! Will be looking forward to each episode! Excited to have a local podcaster!!
