New! Videocast!

Hi everyone, if there is an "everyone" left reading this blog. I haven't blogged since Jan. 2010 but now I'm starting a videocast? Am I crazy? Maybe. But I'm embarking on a year of not buying yarn and I figured this videocast would help keep me honest. It's my first attempt, so there's lots of room for improvement! But here's the first episode and I hope it's not too dorky.
