Political talk from 00:02:55 to 00:23:48, in case you really don’t want to hear it for whatever reason.  You’ve been forewarned.  Also since we recorded, things have not entirely improved so the call to action […]

We’re back with a delayed episode and very brief show notes for the moment, because Karen’s trying to get this up before she runs out the door to Rhinebeck.

After a very long, very tiring summer full of college assignments, work, traveling and computer failures, we are FINALLY BACK!

We had technical difficulties and we lost a good part of Adventures in Knitting.  However it’s a good thing the episode was delayed and I needed to record an intro, as there’s something actually important to talk about first, namely helping the people that have been displaced and have had homes and businesses destroyed in […]

We have a much more recent episode and the audio on this one is…not great.  If you’ve never listened to the podcast before…maybe don’t listen to this one first?  Unfortunately we had to choose between recording in the cafe where we have knit night or not recording for two weeks over the holidays, so we […]

SPOILER ALERT!  Spoilers for Agents of SHIELD season 3 up to about episode 6 or 7 starting at 1:13:40  and ending at 1:21:55.

In this episode: can it be Rhinebeck already?  No seriously, we want it to be Rhinebeck already, especially as both Karen and Maggie are going for the entire weekend this year, yay!  We’ll also be at the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair on Sept.  so look for the K1G2 logo t-shirts and Karen’s Peggy Carter hat, and […]

In this episode, Maggie has passed her black belt testing!  Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie’s been pretty busy with said testing, but that didn’t stop her from starting a shawl designed especially for her, which will be a gift for someone, as well as working on a pair of Sacre du Printemps socks and […]
