Lime & Violet 44 - Here, Hold My Monkey

Sorry for the delay, folkses -- I've been uberthwarted in posting the last two weeks.  First, it was the heat that was causing lots of spontaneous combustion, and then the midwest got a little rain.  Like, an apocalyptic rain.  Like, IT BLEW THE SUNPORCH OFF OUR HOUSE kind of rain.

Luckily, we're not posting this one from Oz, just from the past.  Two weeks ago, to be specific.

In this episode:
* Surprise!  Carin bought yarn. (It's not for her.  And it's not that much of a surprise, I know.)

* We meet the Ballwinder What Makes BoobBalls.  (Say THAT five times fast...)

* There is an appearance by the fun bugs that are drippings wiss goo.  (The picture, by the way....SSH stole the package, so there's no scan.  But trust me, it's of questionable safe-for-workness anyway.)

* Kitchener Snitching on Violet, because she's broken.  At least according to Miss Carin.

* Non-cat-pukey lace thanks to Anne at Knit*Spot.

* THE SPAWN OF FLUFFY.  Oh, but seriously.

* Carin discusses the circumstances in which you can give a tracheotomy with a Bic pen, and falls under the spell of Dale.

* Violet has an imaginary monkey and some Yarntini love, and meditates briefly on rumors of Shannon Okey's sex life.

And much, much more.

Special thanks to Robert Lund for use of his "99 Words" song (warning: DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING WHEN IT STARTS.  I'm tellin' ya now, I'm not responsible for ruined keyboards....), and to Dave of Chub Creek for the intro and intro music.

And a GIANT thanks to Janet Szabo of Big Sky Knitting for the amazing book to review.  Do check it out and pick yourself up a copy.  It's already spawned one project in this house, and will probably inspire many, many more.

Two more shows coming, as soon as I can get 'em edited!  (An interview that you won't want to miss, and another weekly show with Lime-o-La's BIG announcement.  It's sunny now, with no sign of tornadoes or monsoons, so hopefully, it'll be very soon. :>)
