So there's a little surprise for you here, since the last show was eaten Wednesday night by Thor.

Oh, but seriously.  Big power outage.  Several hours.  Podcast file go *poof*. 

Apparently, V took this as an excuse to travel.  Watch out for wombats and cannibals, and learn more about the Yarn of Destiny.  And Wollmeise.  OMG, the Wollmeise...  And we don't spoil Harry Potter for the rest of you, either.  Just mention that fangirling is okay; but fanboying on fangirls' hot costumes is kinda eeeghy.

Music is by Possible Oscar, and is called "Talk Nerdy To Me".  There will probably be more Possible Oscar in our future -- it was hard to pick just one for tonight's show, and they all had me rolling on the floor.  Totally.

The books we talked about:

The Twisted Sisters Knit Sweaters, by Lynne Vogel, who brought us the Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook of legend and lore.

Twelve Bags Fulled, by Terry L. Ross, who signed my copy because she r0xx0rs.

Have a great week, folks.  There may or may not be a show on Wednesday, depending on how hot it is.  (Since it's technically Monday now, it's not likely we'd get much knitting done in the interim anyway, right?)  And with Lime headed back to the spit, heat's a factor.

Only four days later than planned (due to some maaaaajor editing -- can you believe we talked for two and a half *hours*??  Okay, so you probably *can*....), the new episode is live, featuring special guest Beth, from Doodlebirds Creations, who came to stay for a few days this past week.

Poor Beth didn't stand a chance.  We took her to Personal Threads, our LYS on steroids, and her Stash Enhancement eXpedition was a rousing success.  Apparently, when she wants the S. E. X., she GETS the S. E. X!

Music this week is by Paul and Storm (again, they *rule*...), and is called "Your Love Is..."  We figured what we really needed was a dose of sweetness and light...uh...Lime & Violet style.  Ahem.

Here's the two books we mentioned:
<A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743292642?ie=UTF8&tag=dreamdeep&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=0743292642"><IMG SRC="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/21C428FE1YL._AA_SL160_.jpg"></A>
which is the book that is prompting V to give up her stashing ways.  (HAHAHAHA.)

and
<A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1584795344?ie=UTF8&tag=dreamdeep&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=1584795344"><IMG SRC="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/213PcLYFrkL._AA_SL160_.jpg"></A>
which is where Beth got the awesome butterfly sweater she's making out of Rowan Summer Tweed.


Have a great week...er...few days!

While Lime is in Fiji hunting mermaids, Eliza and Carin discuss the imminent second coming of the cupcake liner of doom, theme thongs, and buffalo roadkill.

We listen along as Carin goes mad for bags and creates a new spinner, and go along for the ride as Eliza visits the frog pond.

There is much yarn pr0nage, as usual, and a book review of this:
<A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1931499896?ie=UTF8&tag=dreamdeep&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=1931499896"><IMG SRC="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/31R9tCXFtwL._AA_SL160_.jpg"></A>
which Eliza didn't think she'd like, but does, muchly.  (And so does Carin, judging by the sheer number of yipes she emits during the discussion.)
