Knit 1 Geek 2

This week in knitting, we’re gearing up for the Ravellenic Games!  Some of us are clearing the boards of projects and some of us…not so much.  We also fill you in on what we’re planning to start during the Opening Ceremonies of the Games-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named. Meanwhile in Geek….Not so Squee, we have a brief mention of […]

This week…seriously, guys, we should have known.   If we sound like we’re recording in a cavern, it’s because I forgot to check what mic we were recording with, and it was recorded with my laptop’s internal mic.  Dammit. Anyway, this week Maggie’s finishing projects and giving them away, which we probably should have expected, […]

This week, we completely forget that we’re recording one year to the day that we recorded our first episode.  Whoops.  We blame it on the heat. But despite the heat, we have some progress on knitted things!    Karen’s mostly been working on a Top Secret project, casting things on  and planning a D&D campaign […]

This week…it’s Canada Day!  Woo!  And we get the “eh”s out of our systems very quickly, we promise.  Meanwhile, Maggie’s still plugging away at her Vodka Lemonade cardigan thanks to the Yarn Trickster Gods as well as working on a couple other things.  Karen…is still working on the same things, and trying to resist the […]

SPOILER WARNING!  We discuss spoilers from the movie “Brave” from 32:52 to 48:10. This week, Karen is plugging away on her twisted stitch socks and has made a few yarny purchases while Maggie is nearing the finish line on her Vodka Lemonade cardigan and has finished one of her Catnip socks. With everything that’s been […]

SPOILER WARNING!  We discuss spoilers for “Snow White and the Huntsman” from 34:30 to 55:23. It’s been a crazy couple weeks, but despite that we have progress on our knitting!  Karen actually has finished projects for once, and naturally she’s cast on a couple new things.  Meanwhile Maggie’s had some progress on her Vodka Lemonade […]

SPOILER ALERT!  We discuss spoilers for Sherlock 2×03, “The Reichenbach Fall” between 27:19 and 1:01:04.  No non-spoilery comments this time, for obvious reasons. This week Maggie has quite a bit of progress on her socks and sweater in between exposing a newbie knitter to all things fibery and working her way to becoming a ninja. […]

SPOILER WARNING!  Spoilers for Sherlock 2X02 “The Hounds of Baskerville” from 40:00  to 54:03. This week there’s some progress on Maggie’s part, and she will have pictures soon, she swears.  Just once she resists the urge to kill podcast kitty for getting into her current sock project.  Meanwhile Karen’s been travelling and has lots of […]

SPOILER WARNING!  We discuss spoilers for Sherlock 2×01 “A Scandal in Belgravia” between 38:30 and 1:01:00. This week, there’s been some knitting progress for both of the co-hosts.  Maggie’s made progress on one project that’s going pretty well but has a long way to go, but the other is in ribbing purgatory.  However, she’s also […]

SPOILER WARNING: our Avengers spoilers start at 29:56 and go until 1:01.  (There’s a little discussion tangentially related to the Avengers after that point, but nothing spoilery.) In this Hulk-sized episode, Karen and Maggie squeal about the Avengers.  A lot. But first there’s some knitting going on, and some finished projects from Karen, one of […]

This week, Karen’s got a mostly-finished project and the same socks she’s been working on for ages.  Oh, and another project waiting in the wings.  Maggie’s got a bunch of new yarn as somebody got to go to the Knitter’s Frolic in Toronto last weekend.  She’s even started a new project, and she’s got a […]

This week, Maggie is almost but not quite done her one project and is looking forward to the Knitter’s Frolic in Toronto.  Meanwhile Karen is pouting that she won’t be going and has been bingeing on Titanic documentaries and knitting up a storm.  We have news on the latest voyage of the Space Shuttle Discovery […]

This week Maggie’s soldiering away on the Watson socks and dreaming about all the other things she could work on when she’s finished.  Meanwhile Karen’s working on a bunch of projects, as usual, and is rewriting the rules of her stashdown. Of course with three weeks to go before the Avengers invade movie theatres, there’s […]

This week, Karen and Maggie both have some finished projects (or, well, sort of finished; slippers that are mid-felting and a baby blanket with the ends not woven in still count, right?) and some older projects that have come back around (or are about to). There’s also some movie news, what with Karen having seen […]

This week Maggie’s finished a sock, whatever she tries to say, while Karen’s started yet another sock.  This one is only for certain occasions though, which makes it perfectly all right, right? We’re off to the movies!  We checked out the first of the Snow White adaptations coming out this year, “Mirror, Mirror”.  The results […]

This week things were not going well, so there’s not a huge amount of knitting progress, though Maggie finished one sock in a pair, so that’s something.  Meanwhile, Karen is squeeing over getting to go to one fiber festival and wailing about not going to another. Luckily there’s geek squee to save the day with. […]

This week, we have alcohol.  No, for real this time.  It’s been a long week, and Karen’s got little progress on her projects and a mojito, while Maggie has achieved quite a bit more and started a new project.  Oh, and she’s got a London Fog or two under her belt. However, there’s lots of […]

This week we have old projects finished (Maggie`s sweater!) and nearly finished, and new projects started(another Maggie sweater!).  There`s also a thread for the Stashdown-along, so head on over and let us know your rules/goals for using/getting rid of some of your stash. (And if you’re not getting rid of stash, this would be a […]

This week there’s lots of OMG!! and SQUEE!!  but first there’s a finished sweater for Maggie and some socks that are getting close to the finish line for Karen after some ripping.  And then it’s time for the three squees: OMG JKR is writing a new book!  OMG there’s a clip from “Brave” online! OMG […]

This week we’re plugging away at projects and trying not to drink heavily after some frustrating days.   There’s some news about movies involving Celtic mythology, another based on Karen’s favourite fairytale, and a Joss Whedon movie that’s finally getting released; some seriously epic crafty things inspired by video games and some seriously epic sculptures […]
