The email was dated today, so maybe by Tuesday

Fingers crossed.

Trying to get it right...

On January 19th, not only will it be Michelle's birthday, but it will also be the one year podcast anniversary.

With that said, I have decided to jump back to my first server.

Why? you ask. Because free knitting patterns are great, but free podcast servers are "you get what you pay for". Thank you mypodcast.com, you made the last five months great for podcasting, but it is time to move on.

Edited: 11:15pm (yes, I should be sleeping or at least reading chapter one for my class).
Here is the new feed. Also on the sidebar ---->
Waiting for iTunes to pickup the new feed.
Hang with me while we get this all straightened out.

Saw a post tonight on Ravelry that mentioned Mypodcast.com going defunct. Probably the best answer to why there are/were problems downloading. I can totally understand it with today's economy...not much can be offered up for free.

Edited: 11:35pm (really, I should be in bed).
OMG...it sounds so lovely to hear a clear, crisp podcast. It will take some time, but I will get all episodes #23 - 42 loaded onto the new feed over the next few months as mb storage space allows.

Backing away from the knitting, the computer, and heading to bed.
