So after a week off to clean up shop (literally) and a metric acre of turkey (unfortunately, probably also literally), we're back to rock the mic with some talk about things like knitting schizophrenia, girls and math, and the little starry thub-thub hearts that Lime seems to be sporting in her eyes these days. 

Also, there are promises of a downloadable PDF of a huuuuuge list of gifts that you can pounce your family for for the holidays, and our top three from the main categories -- books and yarn -- discussed at length.

Music this week is "Never Trust a Panda", because you know you'll fall for his black panda eyes... 

Watch the blog (http://limenviolet.blogspot.com) later today for the aforementioned PDF, and a list of thankyous that's as long as our arms.  (Depending on font size, that is.)

And at the time of this writing, there are only 21 items left in the etsy store.  We'll be trying to remedy this ASAP.  Apologies again on the sexy packaging -- it's not as L&V Pretty as we'd like it to be, but we were a bit overwhelmed. :)

THANK YOU for being here, for listening, and for all the feedback.  Who loves ya, baybee?!


p.s.  Mea Culpa:  It's Under a Fiber Moon that talks about japanese rope bondage, not Knit With Cat Hair, who swears she never talked about bondage in her 'cast at all.  Despite the lack of freakiness, we love that one, too.  Tell her to come back. :)

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your iPod, Lime & Violet are back to discuss the finer points of knee nipples, the perils of Jaeger/Jagger, and why they should just put the latte down and back away slowly.

Platonic Boyfriend makes an appearance to talk to y'all about such things as keeping the power in the ovaries, errant facial hair, and knittin' with balls.  He conveniently sidesteps the question of why he's abandoning us for greener, more southern pastures, though.  Still, we can brand him but good before he leaves....right?

And finally, our song by Derek Sonderfan, "Snake", will help you eradicate those other, more painful, songs that circle around your brain.  There are no instructions, however, for ridding yourself of this one.  At least it's a good song.  Ahem.

An hour and a half of digressionary fun this week, as we're back to our usual format.  We go over the time and space vortex that IS Wal-mart, do some store reviews from Miz V's trip out east, find out whether or not doing an entire sock in 24 hours is even possible, and decide to get help with our fiberporn addiction.

Yeah, right.... we're addicts and proud of it.  (to fiber, at least....)

Music this week is by Psychostick, and is called BEER!.  Intro is, as usual, done by the immensely-sexy-himself canadian-of-doom, Dave, of Chub Creek.  Special thanks to Cheeky Redhead for using that Odeo link over there in the right-hand links bar.  (If you're reading this at the blogspot site: http://limenviolet.blogspot.com, that is...)

Stay tuned to this bat-channel (would that be Sheep-Channel?) on Friday for a whole lot more yarnporn from the last two weeks, and as always, hop over and see us on the messageboards:

Love y'all!  See you next week!

 Happy Halloween, everybody!

This episode, outside of our normal bits, is a special LIME AND VIOLET RADIO THEATER PRODUCTION of TILL BILL.  You just have to listen to get it.

ALSO:

CONTEST!  Hidden within this episode are more than a dozen references to horror movies, both new and old.  List those in an email to violet(at)limenviolet(dot)com.

If you have them all right, your name will go in a drawing for a skein of yarn from <A HREF="http://scoutsswag.com">Scout's Swag</A>, which she graciously donated to the cause without knowing what kind of crazy stuff we were going to come up with in order to give it away.

You have until November 15 to get your answers in.  Drawing will be held on November 18th, and the winner notified shortly thereafter.

Have a spooooooky Halloween!

Lime & Violet head back to the studio to engage in another hour and fifteen minutes of tasteful journalism on such topics as boobies and dogs licking their own behinds.  And there's knitting and yarn pr0n, as per usual, along with a whole lotta spinning. 

And since we're on the subject of boobies, healthy ones are a MUST.  This is national breast cancer month, so if you're over 35, go put the girls in a smoosher for science, and if you come back clear (and in slight pain), hop on over to The Pink Auctions at http://pinkauctions.livejournal.com to buy some great art and make a donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation at the same time.  There's even knitterly stuffs!

As always, thank you for sharing your lives with us, even if it's through the headphones of an iPod.  We love you.  And your boobies.

In which our heroines make a return to the airwaves after a (not so) long absence, bringing with them yarn and needles and tales of passes by mulleted boys gone awry.

WILL the girls be able to ward off the evil Joe Dirt?
WILL the projects be completed before they no longer fit?
HOW will they tempt you, fair listener, with even MORE YARN PORN?

Tune in to episode #14: Dork Repellent....and SEE!

:)

In which we find the party in the middle, and find that it's in the middle of the woad.  (And no, that's not a typo.)

Songs this week are "Cthulhu is my copilot" by SmartBombRadio and "Woad" by Fugli.

Come see the show notes posted tomorrow (or the next day) at http://limenviolet.blogspot.com or come visit the message boards at http://limenviolet.com/mb/.  All the cool people do it.

And Lisa Souza actually WILL cure your halitosis.  Don't ask me how I know.

Finally done with the editing for this mammoth episode, Miss Violet would like to take a moment to apologize for the sound quality in part of this episode.  Apparently, tiny little gremlins have taken over her computer and have decided to make her sound editing program crash at random.  She thinks that perhaps Microsoft is behind it.

That said, this episode is all about socks, platonic boyfriends, not-so-platonic kiltboys, and how Lime and Violet both learned to never leave a beer unattended, even when they are in your hand at the time.

At right around 40 minutes, there is a very serious topic broached, complete with the interviews that decided to crash Violet's <s>sanity</s>...er, I mean, sound program.  Most likely, you've heard the flap about price-fixing, but we've done some homework to help explain, and to let you make some informed decisions about where you spend your yarncash.

As always, our show notes are at http://limenviolet.blogspot.com and the faboo message boards are at http://limenviolet.com/mb. 

Back after a week off with some heeeyooooge announcements about sock yarn and socks!  We also discuss some upcoming goodness, knitting things until our eyeballs fall out, and so much yarn porn that it should be illegal.  A little treatise on how NOT to write eBay copy and an appearance by the wrangle-wrangler....and his little showman, too.  Come see the messageboards at http://limenviolet.com/mb or the blog o' announcement goodness at http://limenviolet.blogspot.com.

Well, we recorded while I was sick, and it's fairly obvious as we discuss things like nyQuil, sock yarn to die for, and quirks.  Oh, and we make Miss Lime blush seventeen shades of red.  Seriously.

Show notes available tomorrow at http://limenviolet.blogspot.com.  Come see us at the message boards at http://limenviolet.com/mb too!

Lime returns from a failed attempt, we hand out some artyarnporn, and rage against societal norms in this episode.  Oh, and there are a lot of spiders.  Smooshed and/or sucked-up ones, but lots of them.

Come visit the show notes tomorrow at http://limenviolet.blogspot.com, or come yack with us on the message boards at http://limenviolet.com/mb, or find us on myspace at http://myspace.com/limenviolet.  We're everywhere.  Omnipresent.  Like spiders.  *shudder*

This week, Lime and I get the date wrong, talk a little about yarn addiction, and discuss her burping problem.  And there's a whole lot of snakes.  In sweaters.  With belly button lint.  And a small discussion of pr0n.  Like you'd expect less from us.

Music is by Smallfish, "Bellybutton", and Hillbilly Dust's "Long Branch" opens the show...since I was a bad, bad podcaster and forgot to write that down whilst we were recording.  Both available at the podsafe music network.

Come see us at the <a href="http://limenviolet.com/mb">message boards</A> for some fun, and even though we announced it on this podcast, it seems someone has <A HREF="http://simpleknittedbodice.blogspot.com">beaten us to the punch</A> with the simple knitted bodice knitalong, so go join that one and feel free to keep talking about it with us, too, since I'm definitely still knitting it.  And knitting it.  And knitting it.  This is gonna take FOREVER.  :)

Back for another round, this time with an insane yarn purchase of doom, the announcement of the message boards at http://limenviolet.com/mb, and a nice date with someone with a back we can shear for hairy, moley yarn.  Just the thing to keep the summer blahs away!

The new one for you yarn types.
Show notes will be at:

And stay tuned for a REALLY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT next week. :)

And here 'tis, folks, the fifth episode in the Lime & Violet podcast for the yarn obsessed.  This time 'round, we take a road trip/yarn crawl, stalk Brenda Dayne a bit more obsessively, make socks (and buy more sock yarn, heaven help us), and talk a bit about knitting at a fetish party.

Enjoy!

The episode in which we order (wait for it....) more sock yarn, get snippy with my husband about the dogs only to have him make an...uh...<I>unexpected</I> entrance, and we sing love songs to Brenda Dayne.

(Please don't sue us, Brenda.  We love you.  Really, we do.  But not in a stalkery way.  This week.)

Song this week by Deirdre Flint.  And if you stay tuned through the song, there's an outtake that was too funny not to post.

We're a bit early this week, since we're on a road trip on Friday to bring you more yarn pr0n.  No, really.

Episode 3 is up for your perusal.

This ep, we discuss yarn, of course.  And knitting.  And humping dogs, leatherboy manservants, and a little bit of animal activism gone horribly, horribly wrong.

The full show notes will be up on Sunday, over at http://limenviolet.blogspot.com.

Episode 2, now available here and at iTunes!
