Knit 1 Geek 2

In this episode, the accumulated feels from various fandoms are getting to Karen, namely Doctor Who, Sherlock and particularly Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (I’M SORRY PHIL, WE NEVER MEANT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.) Good thing your hosts have knitting!  Though their goals for this year may drive them around the bend, as they’re both now really […]

In this episode we bring you a break from the routine with some discussion of  episode 3×01 of BBC’s Sherlock, “The Empty Hearse”.  So yeah, spoilers. Oh, and if you’re not into Sherlock, don’t despair–we’ll have a regular episode out in a few days.  We just decided to give the Sherlock discussion its own episode […]

Surprise!  One of the things we miss about having this great community of listeners that lives in the internet is the chance to get together and geek out in person over movies and TV shows we love.  So as the closest thing we can get, in this special episode we’re joined by the Illustrious Michelle […]

SPOILER ALERT!  Spoilers for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug from 22:33  to 46:23. This episode, it’s finally time for the Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and you know what that means:  we finished our Hobbitalong projects!  We also bought some yarn in the Knitpicks sale, as we both have visions of colourwork mittens dancing […]

In this episode, Karen has been listening to way too many of the Doctor Who audio dramas. :D?  Also her exams are OVER, so the next episode should be a little more timely. Maggie is nearing the end of her Pfeiffer scarf/hood, though with a slight miscalculation in how the hood attaches to the scarf, […]

SPOILER ALERT!  There are spoilers for Thor 2: THe Dark World from 22:35 to 43:29 In this episode, Maggie’s Pfeiffer Scarf is well under way, particularly because it’s the only thing she’s working on.  Karen, meanwhile, has ALL THE PROJECTS including her Ejafjallyjokull shawl, which only has a few more rows to go before the […]

In this episode, we’ve unbarricaded the doors from Halloween, scarfed down candy and are knitting away.   Maggie has been speeding along at her Pfeiffer Hooded Scarf for the Hobbitalong and is pretty sure she’s not going to have a problem finishing it in time for the movie.  Karen is in a similar boat, as […]

This week, Karen and Maggie are still not at Rhinebeck.  One year, dammit!  Instead we’re just knitting on our projects at home, boo.  Maggie’s working on a birthday gift cowl that is certainly not going to end up with its intended recipient by their birthday, and managed to resist the whackadoodle enabling at knit night […]

SPOILER WARNING!  Spoilers for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD 1×01 :”Pilot” from 45:29 to 1:05:24. In this supersized episode, Karen and Maggie have both been sucked into fandoms that are going to destroy them, so there’s that.  There’s also the run-down of how the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair went, which was…interesting.  Not that that kept your hosts […]

We feel we should add before starting that despite our opening, neither of us was the fangirl that called a certain actor’s hotel room at three in the morning.  Really.  Anyway, knitting! Maggie is almost done her Lush cardigan!  Hooray!  And it’s good timing because she wants to wear it to the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair, […]

This week Maggie is back in the country without much knitting to show for her trip as there was a non-knitting project that demanded most of her time.  She has done a little more on her Lush cardigan, however, not to menton got to go swimming with dolphins!  Meanwhile, Karen has been her usual non-monogamous […]

This week Maggie has a huge basket containing the results of her spinning binges, some of which is actually being turned into projects!  There’s a hat, a mitten, some merino-silk and an X-Men fleece.  She and Karen are also both working on sweaters.  During a heat wave.  Seriously, there is something wrong here.  Meanwhile, Karen […]

  This week, Maggie’s back!  Yaaaaaay!  There are lots of projects started (and not just by Karen!) and projects slogging along and there is the organization of stash.  Yes, there are actual photos, look below the cut down at the bottom of the post.  Oh and there are tadpoles and possible moths as well–spoiler warning: […]

SPOILER ALERT!  There are spoilers for Star Trek: Into Darkness from 25:19 to 45:20 This week it’s Karen and friend of the show Lily with a *lot* of Star Trek: Into Darkness talk. But first!  Karen has started a bunch of new projects (let’s not discuss whether she’s finished any old ones), and had some […]

SPOILER WARNING! There is spoilery discussion of Iron Man 3 from 32:45 to 57:30 As this was recorded soon after the previous episode and there’s a lot of Iron Man 3 squealing, it’s a bit different than our usual episodes.  We talk about what we’re working on and what we’ve done, the it’s on to […]

So this week we have something a little different. As crazy scheduling and life stuff prevented us from getting together and doing a traditional podcast around the weekend of the Knitters’ Frolic, we took the show on the road to our knitting group, most of whom were with us at the Frolic.  There’s discussion about […]

This week after debating how knitting would work in zero gravity, we hop into the knitting with some recent acquisitions on Karen’s part as well as a finished project, the start of a new project and some progress on some works in progress.  And pretty much all of these are socks.  There’s also a large […]

SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for the The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug sneak peek run from 19:37 to 37:52. SPOILER ALERT! Some spoilery discussion of Iron Man 3 runs from 38:20 to 40:19. This week Maggie has finally finished the Cardigan of Doom!  Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!  She’s also finished one of the many baby blankets she’s knitting, and […]

This week, Maggie is so, SO close to finishing the Cardigan of Doom, after Karen made a perilous journey to the knitting store to get her another skein (one does not simply walk into the yarn store, after all).  That hasn’t prevented her from shopping another knitter’s stash for  yarn for another sweater, though, or […]

This week, well…it’s episode 69.  There are a few things not to listen to around the kids/in-laws right off the bat, but we swear, we lay off the innuendo after the first couple minutes. …Well, mostly. Meanwhile in knitting, a certain project of Maggie’s is sleeping on the couch, as it has thrown yet another […]
