Between school and my new job, I simply do not have time anymore. There are many other podcasters out there who do so much better than I ever could, I am sure you will all be able to find knitting entertainment to fill up your podcast device of choice.<div><br></div><div>I will leave the shownotes page up for 6 months. If I decided to do a video or audio cast over the summer, I'll post it to my personal blog at <a href="http://www.sweatersfordragons.com.</div><div><br></div><div>It's">www.sweatersfordragons.com.</div><div><br></div><div>It's</a> been a fun ride. I wish you all the best. Keep knitting those sweaters...we wouldn't want any cold dragons, now, would we?</div> tag:show.sweatersfordragons.com,2011-10-16:32aab4d0-bd72-4baf-983c-e9ba1118ac95 KnittingDragon 2011-10-17T01:09:31Z 2011-10-17T01:09:31Z <div>I have decided that it is time for Sweaters for Dragons to go on hiatus, and for me to go on a podcasting sabbatical. With everything I have going on right now it's just too much added stress to try to put together a podcast. I hope to do a cast in December over winter break. I'm still around, however, so feel free to contact me. I'll try to update my blog (www.sweatersfordragons.com) more often and I will continue to update my fibery exploits on Plurk, Ravelry, Facebook, and Google +. Have a wonderful autumn (spring for the Aussies) and I'll hopefully see you all in December.</div><div><br></div><div>Eric, aka, KnittingDragon</div> tag:show.sweatersfordragons.com,2011-08-16:1b8e445e-00ae-45c8-a1c5-21ce1c881aa7 KnittingDragon 2011-08-16T20:30:34Z 2011-08-16T20:30:34Z <embed src="http://blip.tv/play/AYLOiQkA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"><div><br> </div> <div><b>FOs</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>Time in a Bottle, Kathy Zimmerman, Zitron Unikat in colorway 09, US #10 (6.0mm) and #11 (8.0mm)</li> </ul> </div> <div><br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div><b>On the Needles</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>1920s Golf Sweater, Knit Picks City Tweed DK in “Lemon Curd” and Knit Picks Swish DK in Marble Heather, US #6 (4.0mm)</li> <li>Summer Mystery Shawlette (Mystery of the Dark Elf Queen), Wendy Johnson, Cables &amp;
