It's a Brand New Day! Ep. 1

Technical Difficulties! Just so you know...this is my first episode so it is not my best.





Who was that I was chatting with?

Thrummed Mittens! Yep, that is me, I am the one who made those! If you want to get the pattern it is in the Interweave Crochet Winter 2008. Find it now! Want to see what Knitting Daily had to say? Click Here!

Carl and Eileen Koop are the wonderful owners and trust me when I tell you that they are AWESOME! I will get them to join me for the show!! The yarn is worth the money! I even started a FAN CLUB group for this yarn on Ravelry! Come and JOIN US!

KIM GUZMAN! OMG...I love the work that Kim does! Thank you so much for callin in and Yaking about Yak with me my dear!!! LOVE You MUCH!

DAVID BURCHALL!! The new leader of my Fan Club ;-) He has coined a new work...cro-tainment! LOVE IT! Take a look at the wonderful work he is doing with slip stitch crochet. B-E-A-U-tiful work. Love this guy! Gotta get him on the show.

Funny thing, when Betsy and I looked up David's profile on Ravelry it turnes out that she has already been a fan of his after reading some of his posts in groups they are both in on there. Small world huh? It always amazes me how different our worlds can be and yet we all still get along. Hey David...I don't forget to contact me so we can chat on the show officially. Okay?

Yep, I have a pattern coming out on the Classic Elite Yarns Web Letter. So, do me a favor and sign up for it so you can be the first to get it! In the meantime...get yourself some Cotton Bam Boo yarn by CEY! This is good stuff! BTW: you gotta love CEY as a big girl because they actually use larger models to model their stuff!! The Curvy Knits booklet is wonderful. But that is neither here nor there.

I talk about my first crochet project...here is a picture.

Changing Host :-)

Well, given the problems with my old podcast host I have decided that it is time to change host...and format while I am at it.

It is no secret that I have spent a LOAD of time on editing my podcast but no more. It is time to get Marly LIVE baby...do you think you can handle it?

Join me, and let's chat...yep, you and me...together. And maybe a few of my designer friends thrown in the mix.

It will always be the same BAT CHANNEL but the BAT TIME may change depending on my schedule. So, stay tuned

Here is the new link...
