Episode 3 of Crochet Unraveled, our official podcast, has just been uploaded to iTunes and is available for downloadable for listening.

[auntbubbels]

I can't wait to listen to this but my computer is in the living room and DH is watching football and would freak if there were voices coming out of my computer interrupting his game!!!! :lol

[AmyS]

Janet, do you have any earphones or little earbuds you can plug into your computer?

Although I'd understand if you want to stay out the room to completely to avoid all the football noise! :lol

[DreamsOfYarn]

Great Podcast Amy :clap:clap:clap

[jenhen]

Great! it's downloading to my ipod right now!

[Gemlady]

Great news, I've been anxiously awaiting a new episode ... I'm off to download right now!!:yay

[auntbubbels]

I have earphones but they didn't come with the computer - I don't even have a clue as to where I would plug them in!!!

I sat here thru 2 footballs games that started at 4 and ended very late :eek We are going to a luncheon today, so DH can watch the game in the bar/restaurant while I chat with the girls!!!! :cheer

[AmyS]

I have earphones but they didn't come with the computer - I don't even have a clue as to where I would plug them in!!!


You may have a headphone jack on the front of your computer if it's a desktop tower, or the jack might be on the back. You should be able to use any standard headphones. Just look for a headphone jack shaped hole. It may have a little picture of headphones next to it, and it's usually outlined in green. It should be right next to another hole, but this one with a little picture of a microphone, and outlined in pink.

[auntbubbels]

I found the green hole and it working!!

thanks alot for your help :cheer

I just downloaded ep 3 from iTunes, and oddly, it seems to be ep 2. The description is for 3, but the listed time is *exactly* the same as 2. And there's the whole 'welcome to episode two' thing.

Is it me? Is it iTunes?? Heeeeeelp!

Korina

[bettycrackpot]

it did that to me too!!!!!!!!! im glad to know im not just a little....out of it!:)

[AmyS]

That's strange! Let me go check on things, and see if I can fix it.

Okay, I think I fixed the problem (error in my xml feed file). Delete Episode 3 from your iTunes, then click the "Refresh" button to check all your podcasts for updates. It should download the correct file for you now.

[jenhen]

Okay good, I thought it was something wrong with my itunes! I even delected the whole podcast and resubscribed in case something was wrong. The new one is downloading now though--can't wait to listen!

[Gemlady]

Did anyone notice the "tunnel" sound quality on the Instructables segment of the podcast? Everything else on Episode 3 sounded fine, as do all of my other mp3 files, so I don't "think" it's my mp3 player and was wondering if anyone else experienced this. :think

[Cesa]

Mine says Episode 3 and is Episode 2 too. Glad it wasn't just me.

[Gemlady]

Wow, I've been really hungry for these podcasts to resume and I REALLY enjoyed this Episode 3 podcast, much as I did the others. There was SO much good info there, I am about to check the show notes because I want to get more info on the Amazing Lace book, charities and more. Thank you so much Amy for devoting [even more of] your time to Crochetville and this podcast in particular. I'll be looking for your pictures on that 4-point topper you made from Doris' book and Lion's Incredible ribbon yarn. I've used that yarn before to knit a top for a friend of mine, but I've recently picked up several skeins from the Dollar Store in my area and am looking forward to crocheting something wonderful from it. Thank you again for all of the resourceful inspiration!

[KublaKhan]

Excellent podcast. I really enjoyed it. Has there been any word on the availability of the "An Eye on the Hooks" article?:hook

[cherrypicker]

is there another episode soon? I would love know when the next one is due? thanks :)

[cateyesmd]

Hello Everyone,

I'm VERY new to the iPod thing, but have learned very quickly how it works. I just got an iPod Classic 80 gig for my birthday March 10th and I just came across the Podcast on the Crochetville site. I've downloaded several other podcast prior to downloading the Crochet Unraveled on yesterday and I'm currently in the midst of listening to Eps. 3. I started with Esp. 1 last night, Esp. 2 this morning on my way to work and now Eps. 3 while at work.

I have to say, this is the BEST podcast I've heard so far and I have over 100 podcasts loaded. I love how it's interactive through the use of the message board. Being able to read other listener's comments makes it that much more enjoyable.

The SHOW NOTES, oh my, what can I say. . . . I've visited other podcast's online blogs/show notes and NONE are as thorough as Crochet Unraveled. This podcast is very well organized and thought out and I appreciate that.

Thank you for helping to make CROCHET more popular. Although I know how to knit, I prefer crochet. I look forward to future installments.:clap:clap
