Episode Eighty-Four: Make Me a Woman!

Now it's gotten ridiculous. Pneumonia!

Off to surgery for us for surgery. More as I know it.

Kippot pictures just didn't work out. I'm bummed because I've already delivered them to the Synagogue. I do, however, have Broadstreet mitten pics for you.

These are in "Metamorphic" Socks That Rock.

This is in "Sherbet". 

Chapters 16-17 today! Whoo hoo!

Episode Eighty-three: Requiem for a Friend

I lose a friend with whom I simply did not get to spend enough time, we listen to chapters 14-15, I link you to a weave-a-licious blog post of Dawn's, I continue to wrap wire, look for reeds, and read, and thus I give you a quote from Ms. Shelley:

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steady purpose—a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

Nice.

Incentive Muggage! Donate in January for your very own!

Looms. The rigid heddle has--for reasons unknown to me--been turned vertically with the heddle on the other side from the photographer.

And I must send out my heartfelt thanks to all who wrote to me this week. Your kind words meant the world to me, truly.

Thor and my husband in their traditional Rugby Greeting...um...at Nancy's wedding...

Episode Eighty-two: Winter With Me in the Alps...

Today, we stay with the Creature's narrative about his life with the De Lacey family during chapters 12 and 13. I announce the final winnah of the Jen Minnis Craftlit Charm! (Yay Barbara of IL! Yay Jen of Serious Talent!)

Knitting Out Loud has some new books to listen to (Huzzah the Rutt!) and Interweave announces it's latest fête, Crafty TV. The New Yorker talks medical ethics (I love good timing). I get to hang with Enchanting Juno, get an assist from Becky, and you--you lucky things--can win this yarn from CheekyRedHead in the January '08 Donation Drawing Extravaganza!

And one pair of my little Cat Bordhi baby booties.

Episode Eighty-one: Cross Examination

Today we begin the real trial for Victor as the Creature speaks (that miserable wrench...uh...wench...er...wretch!)! As does former student Anahad O'Connor! (Buy his book!)

SHOES!

Chapter 11 for this episode; my voice won't hold up for more.

Some interesting bits of history sent on by Guru of the IT world, Tonia--many thanks!

Don't watch this part unless you don't mind spoilers:

Episode Eighty: Elevate Me

Today, once again, I reference Young Frankenstein, blather about Cat Bordhi's new sock book* (um...buy it. Really. Even if you don't knit socks), and generally wax rhapsodic about Frankenstein.

Today you get chapters 8, 9, AND 10. Why? Because you would, quite literally, arrange a posse to hunt me down if I left you hanging after 9. I joke not.

Happy Holidays to the lot of you!

*Link to Sock Book errata at the bottom of the page...nice to have an internet!

Episode Seventy-nine: O The Weather Outside Is...

Actually, fifty eight degrees and sunny...but I'm watching the news with all sorts of weather advisories for my old haunts in NY and...I know I'm nuts...I miss the snow.

I don't miss the grey or the slush, but I do miss snow.

Ah well...grass...greener...you get the picture.

The one link I mention in this cast is: Jeanie at Knitty.com. Checkitout!

Today, Chapters 6-7...there will be more monster...O Yes...there will be...

Episode Seventy-eight: Cue the Monster

Not much in the way of show notes this week. Chapters 3-5...which includes the awakening of said monster.

oooooooooooooooooooooh!

Enjoy!

Episode Seventy-seven: Just Breathe...

You can thank (blame?) Dawn for this.

A spinning wheel too far.

The song I've been living by lately ("Just Breathe (2am)" by Anna Nalik). Perhaps you should download a copy too, from iTunes (to make up for me using the song on the 'Cast...)?

A competition you should take part in so you can be featured like my bud Lyn.

Some amazing tapestry sites to look at: Barbara Heller's (look at Gallery One and see the 9/11 tapestry and the Afghani woman...yeesh! Tapestry never looked so amazing to me before!); American Tapestry Alliance; Desert Tapestry Weavers--our local hookup; Selvedge a textile mag;
Textile the British textile mag; awesome tapestry looms (to buy!).

Tonight!
Chapters 1-2.

Episode Seventy-six: Back in the Saddle

Well, I'm not 100% but I can talk for chunks of time now so that's a step in the right direction.

Kaylea of Chicago is our new Charm Winner for the Month of October. Debbie Brunner is the dyer responsible for these spectacular socks,

and there was something else to put up here but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.


See?
Still mushy in the brain.

OH!
Come see me on Facebook. I made a little group for us there and am trying to get a podcast player onto the apps page.

Episode Seventy-five: Isn't it Romantic

Today I chat with Madame Professor Elizabeth Klett about Romantic Poetry (that's capital R, not romantic--ain't nothing lovey-dovey about our poems today).

You'll hear from Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats. Not bad for a night's work, eh?

Many thanks to Sandra who sent me the box of Autumn leaves. You have no idea how much that meant to me.

You can see more of my SOAR times at my other blog too.
