Beginning a Podcast

I started my podcast a few weeks ago and I have discovered a few things. First, I began recording with my iPad and I loved the quality it produced. The thing that I found frustrating was that it filled up fast and I could not see myself or a light while I was recording. This led to many frustrating nights. In addition, the sound was okay, but I felt it could be better. After spending a few weeks recording this way, I talked it over with my hubby. We brainstormed using my MacBook Air to record the video because it offered me a few options. I could see when the video was recording and I could use an external microphone for the audio. The downside is that I gave up the HD recording. I recorded my podcast this week with the new equipment. I absolutely love the sound quality, but I'm still up in the air on the video. I will continue to work on solutions, and I welcome any suggestions that you may have. In the meantime, I have included this week's show notes here. Thank you for checking in and watching my podcast.

Works In Progress (WIPs)

• Coziest Memories Blanket (Junkyarn)
• UPDATE: ordered yarn from Praefatio Yarn on Etsy (set of 6 mini skeins in spring colors)
• Are any of you working on this project? If so, please share on Everything Jenni Ravelry group page for the WIPs thread. Tell us if you are you using the same weight of yarn or the same pattern? What size needles are you using? How many squares have you decided to do? We love to see what you are working on.

• PurlSmith: Stitch Markers (Sterling Silver and Freshwater Pearls)

• Whispering Pines Shawl
• Notes: Making slow progress, but it’s looking great! 

• Hiker Socks
• Notes: I’m making the men’s size medium, so I cast on 60 stitches. I finished the first sock and am getting ready to cast on the second sock. These will be really warm and snuggly.

• Cruiser Mittens
• Yarn: Madelinetosh Vintage
• Colorway: Tannenbaum
• Needles: US 6  or 4.00mm
• Cruiser (Cailyn Meyer of dailyskein.wordpress.com)
