We are not all together until Christmas week. <br />I agree that some podcasts that others adore, I just cannot listen to and enjoy. <br />I am trying to carve time out to watch My Rhinebeck Sweater that came out weeks ago. So far I'm loving it. <br />kathy bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534431969086721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-10487619289769048442019-12-13T13:59:57.745-05:002019-12-13T13:59:57.745-05:00I am trying to reduce my Christmas card list as ju...I am trying to reduce my Christmas card list as just so many people do not even send them anymore.

I tried a political podcast and it was too upsetting for me, I opt for knitting since it calms me down.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-12445252745223270922019-12-11T21:55:39.844-05:002019-12-11T21:55:39.844-05:00I send and receive cards and do enjoy them.

I listen to three or so knitting podcasts. I gave up on several where the emphasis was all about acquiring or selling yarn and a few that seemed boring. The socks look like fun. Pretty colors too.

I do not listen to podcasts but there are a few actors/actresses that I cannot watch because their voice is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

I have a real love-hate relationship with podcasts, and I have yet to find a knitting podcast I can stand to listen to. (There. I said it.) Enjoy your tree decorating this evening!
