Marly's Minions

Marly sent a message about half way through airtime ~ me and my buddies! She was thinking of us, too, I’m sure she was missing you guys!

Honorable mentions should also be listed (other companies of yarny goodness that we talked about together); like KnitCircus Yarns and their podcast, also Dark Matter Knits podcast and Fiber Hooligans, Seattle Mariners Stitch N Pitch, Traveling Ewe with JJ Foster, Steve Malcolm….

I’m grateful for Rachel and Kim, both from Kentucky, Renee from Michigan, Alison (she’s done contract knitting for Marly) Jenny ~ congrats on your Buffalo Wool Co win, those mitts sound wonderful, Caitlyn, from Pennsylvania, Laura in California and Liz in Washington State. Thank you for calling in and letting me chat with you! I appreciate those that listened live, THEY had ten minutes of silence, if you go and listen to the archive, YOU won’t have that. Thank you to those on the line and those in the chatroom for your patience.

If you missed getting to hear this live you can find it where it aired originally as an archived episode: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/yarnthing/2015/06/30/social-medusa-takes-over or in iTunes.

    I listen to a lot of podcasts every week. Mostly they are tech podcasts. NONE of them has a Social Media Medusa, they don’t know what they are missing. I love hearing both you and Marly laugh, it always makes me smile.

    I love that you’re the social medusa. You did a wonderful job today, and I would appreciate a lot more medusa sessions. I learned a lot about what’s going on in the fiber world. It was certainly a surprise to learn that Drew is retiring :(.

    Great show. I LOVE that you are known as the Social Media Medusa. You do such a great job managing all the behind the scenes work and you did a great job with the show.

    I have not been doing yarn arts for very long so I still really enjoy hearing from all the different segments of the industry but one area that I haven’t heard from much on this podcast that I would love to know more about is from LOCAL yarn store owners. The small local shop that doesn’t have an online business as well. I think it would really be great to hear in detail just what it takes to get a yarn shop up and running as well as how to keep it going and get business. What is involved that they customer doesn’t realize.

    Also, though it was published awhile ago, I recently read a book called “Sweater Quest: My Year of Knitting Dangerously” by Adrienne Martini. The book tells of her adventures with her goal of knitting a Mary Tudor. It was such a great book and I could not put it down. I would love to hear her.

    Thanks for all you do – you and Marly Bird have such a great show!

    Dear master media medusa.
    Great Job.
    interview suggestion: A lot of podcasters collect bears for the mother bear program. It would be great to hear more about it
    Another one is Heather Ordover from Craft Lit.
    Thanks for all you dol

    Tammy, what a great podcast! I’m bummed that I had a conflict and couldn’t listen to the Medusa live. It would have been great to dial in and chat with you a bit. I hope to hear more of you on the podcast in future episodes! –KnittingDaddy Greg

    I was so interested in what you were saying, that my uarn got away from me. When I caught up with the ball, it looked like Medusa’s hair. Keep up the great work.

    I loved hearing about Tammy’s upcoming trip to a “stitch and pitch” event. Maybe that could be a podcast topic – how the “stitch and pitch” events around the country are done. I don’t think our local one is anywhere near the scope of the one Social Media Medusa is going to!

    I thought Tammy was a stellar podcast host. She is not only a social media medusa, she is skilled at juggling several balls at once and a fine interviewer. She seemed very much at ease in the live format. I was so glad to have listened.

    Tammy is was so wonderful hearing your wonderful voice. I miss hearing you on Benjamin’s podcast. You did an AMAZING JOB today!!! I love the title that Marly gave you as Social MEDUSA. I am going to miss seeing you at Midwest this year. I made an agreement with my husband if he let me go to the Into the Wool knitting retreat I would for go Stitches.
