Knit 1 Geek 2

This week, we have a couple finshed projects, including Maggie’s Linen Stitch Scarf of Doom!  Yaaaaay!  We’re Watsoning-along with varying levels of progress and Maggie’s powering along on her sweater, and gained another level in badass.  Karen, meanwhile, was increasing her stash with some dyeing and decreasing it by destashing. There are not one but […]

…To all of our listeners, WE LOVE YOU! This week there’s loooooove in the air.  Well maybe not so much love for one of Maggie’s (never-ending) projects, but other than that.  There are Watson socks on the go and a gorgeous sweater started, and other projects are trying to seduce Karen like a playboy billionaire […]

This week we have projects that are ongoing and that are nearing completion.  Good thing too, as we’re starting our first knitalong!  In geeky stuff, there’s some wtf in the form of changes to the Oscar rules, a SOPA-like bill going through Canadian Parliament, and Voldemort reading fanfic.  In the squee, there’s some non-breakage of […]

This week there’s some discussion of both knitting and non-knitting projects, as well as some resisting of temptation as we gear up for our first knitalong!  Not surprisingly, there’s lots of news of the Sherlockian variety, though only one small, maybe-sorta-kinda spoilery bit for the new episodes of the BBC series; see below for the timecode […]

This week we skip around a little bit as we discuss things we’re working on, things we’ve finished (or, well, that Maggie’s finished), and things that we’re planning.  There’s a little more discussion of RDJ’s Holmes (see below for the spoiler times) and some discussion of another Holmes actor that completely derails Karen’s brain.  There’s […]

After holidays and car troubles and computer troubles, we are FINALLY BACK!  We have lots of knitting to catch up on as well as some chatter about how our holidays went and a couple of the things Santa brought us.  There’s a lot of big geek news to catch up on, what with a trailer […]

This week we’re gearing up for the holidays with some finished (or nearly finished) projects and some pre-holiday yarn sale shopping.  There’s some legitimate geeky news including a Christmas tree for knitters and some movie news, but there’s also some letting loose and blathering about the holidays and plans and challenges for the new year. […]

This week, Maggie’s started a new project, made some progress on an older one and Karen’s trying not to fall asleep or cough all over the microphone.  There’s Sherlocky news (both of the television and film variety), some proof that women like genre movies too, a really interesting concept car, some children’s drawings come to […]

This week Maggie has some new projects that she’s knitting for herself, while Karen is still working on the same things as last week.  There’s a handy app to answer the age-old question, lots of Whovian news and goodies (and some extended discussion of movies based on TV shows), discussion of wasting time on the internet and […]

This week Maggie has FINISHED HER HOLIDAY KNITTING (!!) and has done some nifty-looking sewing as well.  Karen has another project started and did her best to corrupt some youngsters and bring them to the fibre side.  So, par for the course, really. We discuss some more NASA nerdiness, some insane Thanksgiving goodies (CherPumPle, anyone?), […]

In this bigger-than-usual episode, there’s the return of a poor, neglected project on Karen’s part and some slogging through a current project and important travel knitting decisions on Maggie’s.  We squeal over a new trailer (BRAVE, OMG!), an idea for some holiday baking, some good news about geeks in higher education and some legislation that could affect a lot of people […]

This week there are finished objects and new projects as well as some tough decisions to make about what to knit next.  We discuss a big nerd sporting event, some movie news and proof that the Internet can be used for good (and for boobs).  Need some gift suggestions for the geek in your life? […]

This week, Maggie’s on some fun antibiotics, so she’s feeling a little loopy.  Thankfully she’s finished one very large project and didn’t try working on the others that she has on the go.  Karen, meanwhile, is still working on the same things as last week, though she does have some suggestions for those that are […]

We’re back with the old projects, new yarn,  and a special guest that pipes up occasionally.  Maggie has a very large finished project, Karen has the same project getting bigger.  There’s news that Warner Brothers is throwing the invisibility cloak over the Harry Potter movies, a big list of Halloweeny movies and food and a […]

This week there’s some old projects and some new ones, and one that’s been started yet again.  We talk about comics and women, comics and movies, a very old cartoon tv show and a not-quite-as-old movie whose heart is going on in 3D next year.  There’s some squealing about some cute things for your knitting […]

This week we finally get through the podcast on the fourth try (no, really), with the help of Admin Monkey who was our human mic-holder for the night.  Once we actually get recording, there’s news about our projects including a finished object. Of course we can’t avoid the sad geek news of the week about […]

This week there’s an epic saga of a certain stole and some alternate plans for knitting.  There’s a newbie perspective on Pottermore (prepare yourself for the squealing now) and some speculation on a new gadget.  There’s some news on a nerdy book coming out in a few months, some tips for sock knitting and some […]

This week we’re back after a short break with some new projects and some old ones that are still hanging around.   There’s some chatter and news about movies already released and coming out soon, some pondering how a network might not screw something up that they likely will, and a discovery of some seriously […]

This week, it’s mostly about the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair.  Who we met (hi Delores!), what we saw, what we were looking for, what we got, and a few little tips on how to go to these kinds of events and not be totally overwhelmed. But it’s not just all Fair, all the time–there’s a little […]

This week, there’s some discussion of a con we’re not at but wish we were, there are some finished objects, some progress on others (and a couple started *cough*) as well as a handy tip for knitting lace.  There’s quite a bit of movie-related news involving some interesting casting and a classic’s re-release that has […]
