“The author has a considered agenda for each episode, and weaves in stories about people, place and design. Also a little music, each episode has something to twinkle about.”

Thank you Brenda for allowing us to be part of your life and giving sharing your thoughts on life and yes of...”Read full review »

“I have been a listener since this podcast began. So many circumstances of my life have changed over the long years, but I am always a knitter. I have been so happy that Brenda relaunched the podcast, and I find it as engaging and inspiring as I did in the beginning.”

“Brenda has a wonderful talent for storytelling. She is very eloquent with her words, you can envision exactly what she is describing. She has a voice made for “radio”. I love listening every time a new episode comes out!”

“Oh my gosh! I can’t stand when people constantly complain and talk about how “life’s not fair”. No kidding, it’s not fair and life is not designed to be easy for you or anyone! But, it can be good and it can be joyful and it is what you make of it for yourself and others. Knitting should be...”Read full review »

“So glad to re-discover this fine person is still podcasting! Like encountering a long lost friend. I initially was drawn in by her overseas life discoveries which I could relate to to some degree, and found her to be just the right voice in my ear. I still smile at the sheep bleating in the intro...”Read full review »

“Yup, it’s all here. Brenda shares information and knowledge about making, designing, and knitting. And she’s entertaining because she is clever, smart, curious, and has an interesting sense of humor. And snark when appropriate.”

“Brenda Dayne has not been in a coma for six years, so it’s understandable that her interests and activities have changed. If you are into sewing and putting together a wardrobe as well as knitting, you’ll be in clover. The one short-coming is that although Brenda was aware in the past that her...”Read full review »
