Dear friends and listeners, I am SO sorry that it's been such a long time since I've posted or did a broadcast of Knitting with Joy. As you may remember from my first (and only) show, Mother Crammer called in claiming that she'd come down with impetigo. I Pooh-Beared her problem on air, but unfortunately, Mother was right. She required 24-hour care (prescribed by her, not an actual doctor), so I was on-call for what turned out to be several months. The lesions would go away, then reappear no matter how much we bathed Mother ("We"? I mean "me"--my sister Jean was nowhere to be found. You can't tell me she couldn't have found some intern to hang all those "Santa Savings" and "Eggstacular Deal" signs at the SuperTarget).
Anyway, turns out Mother's Lee Press-On Nails were harboring the bacteria (she's a scratcher). When she broke one of the nails and decided to take the rest off, her skin cleared up almost immediately.
So that's the good news. The bad news is that KQAD has put my show on "hiatus". Mr. Judsen cited "creative differences", and I cited him as a "big jerk". Sorry that I'm getting all in a huff. It's just that I know how much the show means to me and all my listeners. I even tried to stage a rally to boycott KQAD's sponsors, but sadly, many of the sponsors themselves are shutting down (how I'll miss browsing the aisles of "Beads Aplenty").
But that won't stop me. 'll find a way to bring Knitting with Joy back. Look (listen, actually) for a new show soon. Happy Good Friday, Jesus!
