As always, Pride and Prejudice is narrated by Annie Coleman. Intro music provided by GarageBand.com which connected me with Joshua Christian’s “Chasing Hiro.”

A Note: Files for previous episodes can be gotten at LibSyn or at iTunes. Oh, and hey...if you have a second, wouldja vote for CraftLit at Podcast Alley. I'm in the third to the last place on the rankings.
Not that I'm competitive...

If the feed isn't working at iTunes (and it wasn't as I boarded the flight for the DR), know that I'll fix it as soon as I can get another reliable Internet connection. My sister knows places in the DR I where I can go wireless...

DR update!
Well, I have Internet access but not through my computer. And sadly, while the DR has many wonderful things, it does not have computers that allow an FTP transfer, or a HiSpeed connection for my laptop. Until Monday night, you'll have to go to: http://www.gcast.com/u/MamaOKnits/itpc_rss_mac_com_hordover_iWeb_Site_Podcast_rss_xml

Many apologies for this. LibSyn, which hosts the feed, maxed out for the month and didn't tell me. So when I uploaded, and it looked as though all was well with the world and signed off...LibSyn deleted my file.
And didn't email.
Tee'd? Me? Only a little...but I'm collecting audio here in the DR.

You'll hear all about it...next week.

Episode Four: Crazy Kahuna

Can you believe we’re on chapters nine and ten of Pride and Prejudice?
Me either!
And, once again, I find myself all hot and bothered by Darcey. Ah well...

Before we get to that, today I’ll talk to you about some quilting (that’s the crazy part) and a wonderful book on toe-up socks (that’s the Kahuna part).

Ready?
Here we go...

Episode Three: You Knit What???

Welcome to Episode 3!
In this episode I welcome you to the joys of the Jane Austen Action Figure (and I am Not Kidding); the belly laughs, sly giggles and eye rolling, or horror filled looks of You Knit WHAT???; the adorable (in the eye of the beholder?) cats and bunnies with stuff and pancakes on their heads (Though Baly prefers this site); and regale you with my lovely weekend at a spinning retreat in the Catskills, hosted by Claudia of CountryWool.

We’ll also move on to chapters seven and eight in Pride and Prejudice, narrated (as always) by Annie Coleman. Intro music provided by GarageBand.com which connected me with Joshua Christian’s “Chasing Hiro.”

And, a little note: I'm so glad those of you who've commented are enjoying Austen. She's a fave of mine (duh!) and I'm thrilled that listening to her words is bringing you some joy while your hands are otherwise occupied.
