Show Notes:
- I received some Threadless T-shirts in the mail today.
- I adore lions. If you follow me on Pinterest (NOT RAVELRY, as I say in the video), you’re probably familiar with my “Ancient Lions” pinboard.
- On the needles: “Femme Fatale” dress using Luisa Harding mulberry (100% silk) on US4/??mm needles. “Minimalist Cardigan” using Handmaiden Mini Maiden yarn (50/50 merino-silk blend in “Peridot” colorway) on teeny needles. Finally, the “Brick Layer’s” Socks – send sock.
- Apartment therapy: The cinder block shelves/hutch turned out great. The coffee table is serious business.
What do you think?
Just need a piece of plexi on top.
- Once again, my cats make excellent co-hosts. Something I’m sure Sadie of the Yarnivore podcast can relate to.
- More apartment therapy: I am investigating the possibility to constructing a pipe bed relatively cheaply. Since recording this episode, J-man has approved the project, and I will beginning post-haste (ie: when I figure out the cost and how much I can sell my current bedroom furniture for).
- 2012 update: I lapsed in my daily P&S routine. I also slacked off on yoga for about a week. I really have no excuse. I got busy (who isn’t busy!) and didn’t make an effort to make time. Ya’ll keep my honest with myself. I will not abandon this project, and I have resumed the daily routine. On my way to conquering goal # 2 by the March 11 deadline, which is: increased flexibility & 25 consecutive P&S with no breaks (ie: on rep of 25).

Part 1 Show notes:
- The Carrier – check it out.
- Couldn’t find a video editor that I liked (not that I looked that hard), so the clip I was talking about is in part 2.
- Inspiration for my cinder block shelves and my pallet coffee table.
- One the needles: “Brick Layer’s socks” – improvised design on US1/2.25mm needles, using Dyeabolical strong army skinny 2-ply yarn in “Take 1″ colorway.
- Special edition of Stash Diving: A little peak into my Fluevog collection enhancement. FYI: I used store credit to purchase these shoes.
Fiddlestix – Episode 6 Bag Lady
Posted on: February 10, 2012
Show notes pending!
In this episode I do a mini-review of my new knitting bag; talk about my knitting and love for Downton Abbey; and do some quicky Stash Diving. Thanks for watching!
Show notes:
- Work sucked today.
- I received my L.J. Kaelms bag (Jordana Paige) for my birthday from The Pops & Dee (aka my dad and his wife). I LOVE IT! It’s huge and green. That’s all I ask for in a knitting bag.
- Now, although I had bad luck with Namaste bags, you shouldn’t knock them. Try them for yourself! I admit, I am BRUTAL on my knitting bags, so keep that in mind when I make my comments.
- Speaking of cat litter, if you have cats you MUST try Feline Pine. You’ll have to get or make a specialized cat box (one with a grate in the bottom and tray to catch the saw dust), but it’s worth it. Way less cat boxy smells, and everything is flushable and septic-system-safe.
- My favorite knitting project bag from the Yarnivore. Do check her podcast out, it’s awesome!
- On the needles: “Bricklayer’s socks” – improvised design on US1/2.25 needles using Dyeabolical strong arm skinny sock.
- DOWNTON ABBEY! WATCH IT! If you like Gosford Park, you’ll probably like DA.
- Stash Diving: Knitivity “Down Home Art Yarns – Sock” and white coopworth wool 6″ staple length!

Show notes to come later. Maybe. If I feel like it. So in this episode I’m a little sappy. I talk about how me & Jon met; respond to another podcaster; explain my love for Downton Abbey & Maggie Smith; and make a lot of funny faces. There’s also some nice armpit shots in this one, too. So, enjoy that. Thanks for watching!
Part 1 Show Notes:
- I respond to a few things in an episode of Sadie’s podcast, Yarnivore.
- Jon is away at the Vermont Studio Center, and I’m a wimp.
- Finish Objects: Jon’s Fisherman’s hat.
- On the needles: Still working on the Femme Fatale dress. Cast on an improvised sock pattern in Dyeabolical yarn (strong arm skinny base – very springy, great shine and stitch definition). I frogged the cardigan I was making using this yarn (Egret by Norah Gaughan) because the yarn really wanted to be socks.
Part 2 Show Notes:
- I have big feet, ya’ll!
- Stash Diving: Yarn – STWC Tofutsies in Mardi Gras colors. This yarn is not springy and is splitty and a little rough, but I really want to make a pair of knee-high Mardi Gras socks; Yarn – Malabrigo Sock in “Arch Angel” colorway. I LOVE this yarn, but haven’t found that perfect project that will use up all THREE! of my skeins. Suggestions? Leave ‘em!!!
- Mardi Gras – I love it, and you should too! Lafayette and New Orleans have great Mardi Gras events during the season. There’s a ton of info out there on all the different Mardi Gras traditions, so check it out. I highly recommend learning about the Mardi Gras Indians – they are rock stars. If you’re in the area and have never been to a real MG parade, holla! I’d love to host anyone who’s never experience the joys of Fat Tuesday. Ps: you don’t have to be Catholic to get the most out of this holiday. PPS: It truly is the best fucking holiday! I mean, we actually get paid holiday leave for it and schools shut down.
- Ok, so I love (southern) Louisiana. The food’s great. We have a wonderful, rich music tradition. We have some of the sexiest accents in the country. Also: CULTURE! Real culture!

I’m taking the plunge. I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast – mostly because I suck balls at blogging – for a long while now. This morning, I was alone in the apartment and had the SO’s fancy laptop (built-in mic & cam!) all to myself. Will add show notes soon. Hope this catches on! If not, I don’t mind talking to myself. Note the explicit tag in the title. I cuss. You are warned.
