I’ll visit this site often!

Hello. I am wondering if you would post your business hours on the website? Thanks kindly.
i have a question…I’m TRYING to knit the shawl that was on your porch out of the Jojoland Rhapsody yarn….Something is wrong!! It says to use a size 6 round needle, but the shawl seems to be coming out way too small…I think i’ll try to get in early this afternoon…hopefully, there will be someone there to set me straight….the instructions are confusing and I sort of reinterpreted them….HELP!
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time!
Hello Sue, Tom, Linda, and other fiber friends!
or a reference to those Seven Dirty Words by George Carlin! Also known as “bosom buddies” or “knitted knockers” they are knitted or crocheted breast prostheses for women who’ve lost one (or both) to breast cancer surgery. Patterns, more info here:
Looking for a quick project to use some soft yarn? (Svale by Dalegarn, a cotton/viscose/silk and on SALE at HP would be perfect.) Try a tit-bit… no this is not a porn post

There’s a shop in Brunswick, ME and one in Jamaica VT that distribute the finished products (links on page above). Also, this is the group charity project for the NorthEast Handspinners Assoc Gathering, next month in Stowe VT; I’m going and would be proud to carry along any contributions from Hodgepodgites… HodgePodgers… HodgerPodgers??
Best to all and to critters,
Anita (the crazy one!)
Thanks for the info Anita – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Awesome article! thanks for the good read!
The most difficult thing is to find a blog with unique and fresh content but your blog is different. Bravo.
Do you have a catalog, my friend and I are looking for some chemo hat patterns.
Deb – There are many sites to get these patterns. http://www.headhuggers .org is one site you can check. You can also google chemo cap knit patterns (or crocheted).
Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that your site is excellent. Im a frequent reader. I think it is so great, that I have actually gone ahead and linked to your site (dofollow) from here: http://www.bestpda.net/my-favorite-site.
Had to tell you that we had Lama’s at the store yesterday. Couldn’t help running my fingers thru the hair and thinking about what I could do with that! See you Monday! Prentiss
HELP! I have been trying to teach myself to knit, but would really like a one on one instructor. I am left-handed. Any info would be appreciated. Thursday days would be ideal!
Thanks!
Michelle

Nice post about HodgePodge Yarns and Fibers Info | HodgePodge Yarns and Fibers. I am very impressed with the time and effort you have put into writing this story. I will give you a link on my social media blog. All the best!
Nice job, it’s a great post. The info is good to know!
Let me start by saying in my outside voice…..”I LOVE HODGE PODGE!!!” Now, that I got that out I have a question as I always do when I visit you. Someone mentioned a “sit and knit?” group on ??Tuesdays? at HodgePodge in addition to the Monday night gathering? I this true? Is there more info to be had??? Love to know…
SandraD, new knitter and HodgePodge aficionado
Hi Sandra – members of the spinning group Sugar River Spinners drop in on Tuesdays to spin and or knit.
Great site and love the comments!!!
Sue said “…drop in on Tuesdays to spin and or knit.”
Anita (who sadly has to work in Boston on Tuesdays) adds: “and to eat!”
Bring food. Or, at least, an appetite
Visited for the first time yesterday. Great store! Sweater-in-a-bag is now on my wish-list!
