How do I now do that with the new format? I loved just right clicking and saving it to my documents. I can't figure out how to save them now.; ▶ Reply to This

If you look at the music player in the upper left corner of the main page, you'll see all of the podcasts listed in the playlist, the most recent at the top. To the right of the title of each track is a little icon of an arrow pointing down - if you click on this, you can download that track right to your computer.

Another neat feature of this new music player is that you can also use it as a jukebox to stream Kelley's podcast. Next to the play/stop buttons, there are three little icons: one for playback (normal, repeat, or shuffle) one for "popping out" the player, and one for volume. If you click on the pop-out button, your browser will open a new little window with a music player loaded with all of Kelley's podcasts. You can leave this window open while you browse other sites and can listen to Kelley's podcast for as long as you'd like!; ▶ Reply to This

I tried to do the Pi Shawl knitalong and never did get the circular cast on right. I have knitted socks with fingering weight yarn, but I never have worked with lace weight yarn. Could you recommend a lace weight yarn and book or pattern for beginning lace projects. I was thinking of knitting starting with a rectangular lace shawl and then going back to the Pi Shawl. Thanks.

And our new lace weight yarns are coming out this week - check out our new colors in Gloss Lace, Shadow, and Shimmer!; ▶ Reply to This

I am not podcast savy at all but would like to be able to listen to them on my pod rather than on my PC. I sure this is dumb question but I am not I tunes trained at all and it is very interesting to try to navigate through.; ▶ Reply to This

And here is a link to Apple's video tutorials on how to manage iTunes and download music and podcasts. Hope this helps!; ▶ Reply to This

I click on the button and my browser just "opens" a blank page and doesn't allow me to save it to my computer...This is what happens if I don't do the "save target as" with the podcast button in the old format. But there is no way to "save target as" in this case. Because of the blog post, I was able to download the latest episode but I can't get at some of the old ones.

Please help, I really enjoy the podcast.

Thanks!; ▶ Reply to This

We're also going to move over all of the old podcasts descriptions to the Knitting Community site over the next week or so, and we'll update the podcast download/streaming instructions in the Discussion Forum when we do.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by kpatrick on March 24, 2008 at 12:35pm: Could you make sure we can download the mp3 file so it can be transfered to an mps player to use? I don't seem to be able to subscribe with my Zune and this is how I have been listening to them. Right now I am unable to download an mp3 file from the website as I used to be able to do.
I will be so disappointed if I cannot do this anymore.; ▶ Reply to This
