April 20, 2013 at 2:56 pmI had to bother Marly to find this: I listened to the podcast with Rohn Strong today (MALABRIGO!!!) and couldn’t figure out WHERE to comment to enter. (BTW, I was here and saw no comments and assumed it was the wrong spot.) Thanks for your help, SuperBusyWoman, Anyway, I liked listening to this episode because, while I don’t Prefer to crochet (I will if I coerce myself!) it’s pretty sweet to see someone is trying to create designs that don’t all resemble granny squares and fit all kinds of body types … and from a guy, no less! Pretty sweet… Carry on. Looking forward to the next episode in the MANia!
