Knitting Knirvana Video Podcast Episode 2

The first video ends abruptly because I was over the 10 minute limit that YouTube has. Also, I had a hard time embedding the second part into this blog post directly from YouTube. So, I tried uploading it into Blogger. If it doesn't work, then just follow the link over to YouTube to view the second half. I'm still figuring all of this out. Thanks for your patience!!
