Knitcast, Episode 10!

So, so long overdue: here’s the ninth episode of the Knitcast! To be honest, Johanna and I recorded an episode in February, but it got eaten by the terrible audio gods. I couldn’t inflict that on you! In this episode, Johanna and I talk about weightlifting (really!), a whole host of patterns for tiny-human knitting, sock knitting (of course), and Ballmer Peak.  Here’s a shortlist of some of the patterns we talked about:  Baby Vertebrae Sunlight Shawl for Sad People Miss Daisy Skew Socks  Have a listen by clicking here!

Just in time for the new year. Dearest friends, I hope you’ve had an excellent 2014 and lovely holidays. I can safely say it’s been awesome on both counts for me! Johanna and I recorded this podcast a few weeks back — part of our awesome is that we’ve both been super crazy busy, so apologies that it’s taken so long to get it online! And also for my complete lack of posts *blushes* — but that’s a thing I aim to change in the coming year. We have some things to talk about, my dears!

Episode 7 of the Knitcast!

Guys!! Guys! We’re still alive! And we’ve recorded a shiny new Knitcast for you! Actually, we recorded this one wayyyyy back in September, and I decided to be a bad podcaster and not edit it for almost two months. *cringe* Sorry about that. The good news is, knitting doesn’t go bad, so… In this episode, Johanna &amp; I talk about babies again (maybe one of ours?), tetanus shots (both of us), and new jobs (one of us!). Of course, we also talk about what’s on our needles — Congdon &amp; Endpaper come up again! Have a listen!
