Episode 18: Happy Halloween

The episode is up. Sorry there are no chapter markers or good pictures. We recorded days ago and I've been too tired to do anything so I thought it would be better to at least get the episode out there.

Shownotes will be up eventually! Please forgive the 8 month pregnant lady!!

Episode 9 - We're Back!

We're back after super long hiatus caused by technical problems. Thanks to a new computer from the Knit Sibs Papa we're hoping to get back to podcasting!

The podcast is available at:

Our new RSS feed address is:

We are working on getting ourselves back onto iTunes.

In this episode we'll reintroduce ourselves, discuss briefly what we've been up to for the past 2 years, talk about our current knitting, and then Gloria will entertain us with a story.

Shownotes for this episode are a bit overwhelming since we talk about our major projects for the past 2 years. Instead of linking to everything, you can see our previous projects along with our currents projects on our Ravelry project pages:
Valerie - valink
Julianne - pinsandneedles
Gloria - occasionally

Val's kids have taken up knitting and her daughter is now needle felting. Here's a picture of her with a gorgeous whale she made:


You can check out Jodi Picoult's works here and see if she's doing a book signing in your area. Maybe we can all get pictures of our socks "with" her.

Next episode's shownotes will be far more detailed!

We've added a donate button to our podcast since we are now a libsyn podcast and we pay hosting fees. Donations will be graciously accepted.
