In Adventures in Knitting, Karen has finished stuff!  She’s finished her Leventry shawl […]

We’re back with EPISODE 100!!  WOO! As it’s been a while there’s a lot to catch up on.  Maggie’s been sending and receiving packages in the Odd Duck Swaps group’s Dresden Files Swap, has been working on the Vivid Blanket and has been designing some Dresden-inspired socks.  Karen has started and finished the Estuary Shawl, […]

So as episode 100 is being beset by technical difficulties (of the recorded-an-entire-episode-and-it’s-entirely-unusable variety), instead we bring you a special episode! Yes, it’s commentary time!  This one was  recorded back around Christmas when Karen’s brother was home for the holidays and they recorded a commentary for the movie that pretty much was their childhoods: Jurassic […]

SPOILER WARNING!  Spoilers for The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies from 43:30 to 49:50. Despite technical problems, shortstaffing, freelance, family and coursework, we’re back! In this episode, Karen and Maggie fill in each other about their holidays and any knitty things they received and knitting time (or lack thereof) they had.  Maggie spent her […]

As a little stocking stuffer, here’s the version of “Santa Baby” that we recorded and released with the podcast a couple Christmases ago, this time on its own.  Merry Christmas to all our listeners who celebrate it!  (For those that don’t, put your feet up and knit something on your day off )  The lyrics […]

In this episode, Karen and Maggie are firmly ensconced in the blanketfort and they are never coming out. First:  Sheep to Shawl!  Karen and Maggie were part of the Agents of SHEEP that competed at the Royal Winter Fair Sheep to Shawl competition in November.  Despite being mostly first time competitors, an early start, a […]

In this episode, there’s a lot of talk about Rhinebeck. A lot. No really, we’re not kidding. In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie did not buy anything at Rhinebeck, somehow, and has given up on the There and Back Again Story Scarf.  Instead she’s working on the Sock Head Hat for her sister-in-law, has done some […]

In this episode, your hosts aren’t dead yet, and they’re trying something new due to scheduling and transportation difficulties. In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie was working on the There and Back Again Story Scarf (um…stay tuned on that one) as well as her no-pattern Grimm scarf, as well as the Chroma Stocking Cap for the […]

Here it is, the recording of the panel we did at the KW Knitters’ Fair, along with the wonderful Teresa from the CanaryKnits podcast and fabulous Sasha of SheepSpot!  Thanks so much to the KW Knitters Guild for having us, especially Jenn who organized the fair, Iris, our wonderful moderator for the panel, and Colin, […]

In this episode apparently Karen has been neglecting her appropriate blood sacrifices or something because seriously you guys. In Adventures in Knitting, Karen’s Rhinebeck plans are a bit…up in the air at the moment thanks to certain civic duties, but she’s still working on the Saddleback Cardigan as well as the There and Back Again […]

SPOILER WARNING:  There are spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy from 34:04 to 52:33. Also CONTENT WARNING: One of the items we discuss involves domestic violence and the teenage sole survivor of a family tragedy.  If this is a sensitive topic for you, that segment runs between 1:05:27 and 1:08:19. In this episode we can’t […]

In this episode we’ve passed both Karen’s birthday and K1G2′s third anniversary.  Yay! In Adventures with Knitting, Maggie has…frogged her Hobbitalong scarf (*insert Dramatic Gopher*).   It’s currently in time out.  But her Kernel scarf and her Madame Phelps shawl, finished the first Neldoreth sock, finished the Milanese Lace toper (with her own handspun!) and […]

In this episode we come to you from a simpler time when we were so innocent and had more hopes for the Toronto Blue Jays’ chances this year.  In the present, yay, Karen’s semester is over and there are more episodes to come soon. In Adventures in Knitting, Karen has made some progress on the […]

In this episode, Karen and Maggie went to Niagara Falls Comic Con, and it was Elfling’s first con.  Awwww.  They saw much merch, got photos of all the cool stuff, and Karen found a friend though his packaging could now use some updating. When it comes to Adventures in Knitting…we won’t mention the Hobbitalong scarves, […]

SPOILER WARNING:  Spoilers for the Agents of SHIELD season finale from 25:45 to 31:40. …And, y’know, don’t listen to this one around the kids (like that’s ever a good idea with us, though).  In this episode, Karen is full of feels, so consider yourself warned.  Don’t worry, if she gets too out of control, newly-minted […]

In this episode, Karen has broken Maggie’s brain with stuff she found on the internet, what else is new. In Adventures in Knitting, Karen and Maggie had a great time as usual at the Knitters’ Frolic (hello to those we introduced to the podcast and to the listeners we were able to meet) and, of […]

In this episode, your hosts are preparing for the feels and thrills they’re likely to experience in Captain America 2 (message from the future: they were not remotely prepared).  Karen’s started another sock using a stitch pattern she found, finished the Irish Mesh Cowl for her mother and has also started the Metallurgy shawl as […]

In this episode, Karen would like to apologize for the throat-clearing and sniffling she didn’t manage to edit out. Of course in Adventures in Knitting, both your hosts mainly have their Ravellenic Games projects to talk about, and not much else.  Well, except for a little gloating over hockey and gold medals, along with their […]

In this episode, Maggie and Karen are finishing things in advance of the Ravellenic Games!  Maggie’s finished her Zipper Socks, but has some stitches to pick up that were dropped on her Swirly Mittens, which will have to wait until after the Games and her yet-to-be-decided-on shawl is hopefully finished.  Karen, meanwhile, has finished her […]
