    I would have loved to go on this trip. Neil, your choice of music and your stories made me feel a part of this exciting gathering of knitters. THANKS SO MUCH, N.

  • Peggy

    I went to get my knitting so I could knit and listen at the same time. I also love the Stand By Me video. Will show it to my music students this year. It reminds me that there is more than one right way to sing a song or knit a sock!

  • Ellie

    You were a high-spirited group!

  • Lynda Stirling

    Fantastic job of recording your trip. I can really sense the fun, excitement and enthusiasm you all have for the journey and I can’t believe I am listening to this in Australia and giggling away at your adventures along the way to the sock summit. Looking forward to hearing the rest.

    Wow, makes me feel like I was there!. Oh, that’s right, I was. And there’s mooooooore to come.

  • Meg

    Great fun to listen to! I’m looking forward to the “rest of the story.”
    Were your spirits high on the return?

    This just made me giggle… Perfect music. Great job Neil! Looking forward to the rest of the trip. That version of ‘Stand By Me’ is the very first YouTube video I made a ‘favorite’. Knocked my socks off (uh…, oh yeah, that pun was intended!).

    can’t wait to hear the rest!

    Loved it!
