the knitting podcast for the yarn obsessed

The Podcasts

Coming to you today from two different states, it's the Lime & Violet Show!

Okay, that ends my old school announcer voice for the moment. The girls are back, and yet in different states. I apologize upfront for any audio quirks that pop up, it will take a few episodes to figure out the best way to finalize the episodes with the new way that they're doing them. In any case, the girls are here, along with a few furry friends that make special guest appearances. Talks abound with yarn, patterns, projects, new organizational methods, busy busy busy people, and lots of great stories.

Music is "Depression Yesterdays" by Dylan Donkin. I don't know what it is about me lately that's really into the singer/songwriter genre, but I do so love it.

Violet is back with the Lime this time for another hour of insanity. Things aren't unpacked yet, so the microphone is hidden away, hence the quality of this episode. But be sure to know that there is content in this one! Works in progress (sweaters galore), finished objects (not one, but two!), announcements, mail call, books (I totally just typed "boobs" three times), and much much more.

Music is "Prime Meridian" by Sarah Donner.

The Violet is back, and this time she brings out the men folk.

Just a short episode this time around, but it's a good one. Recorded in the Gate City Yarns in Greensboro, NC.  Yarn, works in progress, doggies, and actual yarn porn in the bathroom. It's apparently sticky. I don't think I want to know.

Music is "The Legend of the One Honest Man" by Uphill.

Once again, this episode was recorded a little while ago, July 11th to be precise, but it's just getting up now. Sorry!

While Miss V was in NC she recorded with the darling Aimee (FunFairieGirl). They got up to lots of crazy. There are penises, rules for dating, a dog, yarn, knitting, boys, pirates at fast food stores, Miss V also talks about the Mountain Sole project, and lots more. You guys asked for a longer episode, and that's what you got. Sorry if this one takes for ever to download, but it's over 2 hours long.

Music is Jerry Forney "Women, Women, Women".

Cheers folks!

I'm all moved now, and finally sat down to edit for the first time since I got this episode which was.... before I moved. Sorry folks! Crazy busy over here. On the up side I do have kick ass job and a great room in a house filled with girls who adore my knitting. I just need to find me a man now. ;)

This episode was recorded back in the end of June, so things might be a touch out of date. Once again, sorry folks! There is boy talk, oh the boy talk. Yarn Porn. Stalking by Raccoons and Lizards. And a whole lot else. What more (or less) would you expect?!

Music is "Doreen" by Devil Doll.

That's right, Whale Exploders. We also have shaved possums, big ball disorders, X having a secret life, Miss V's hair is falling out, what hasn't fallen out is alien, and Oh Ma Gawd the news. The neeeeeews. It's awesome.

Music is "Neckbolt Love" by Tom Smith.

Extra music is "Flagpole Sitta" by Miss Violet and Miss Lime.

The girls are here, and they're actually talking knitting... for a little while at least before they go off on tangents.

 Lime is trying not to jinx relationships, hence we know there is something going on in the man (or men as it seems) department, but she doesn't say what. Stay tuned, I'm sure we'll find out later. MissV is still working on the 20Thirty sweater, but the heat is making her face melt like 1980's special effects. She has also agreed to be YentaViolet to all those in need of a man, I'd say take her up on it, but she's busy so it might make her head go BOOM. I don't think Lime wants to clean that up.

Music is "Rule 34" by Sugar Fix.

Sorry again about the logo. I really need to find a program that allows me to edit the tags AND edit the audio. I don't have the mental capacity to remember to open iTunes and edit there THEN upload. *face palm*

The girls are back! Miss them? Apparently they're on a roll in the recording world. We talk about the past, the way past, the knitting, and the kinky sex acts that go under the "whatever floats your boat" category. There is also some randomcrazyhappenstance with our Miss V and Stephen who is HizKNITS of the Y-Knit podcast. Go check it out, I like it.

Music was picked by MissViolet. Do not blame me. It was NOT me. Repeat after me now folks "Gwen did NOT pick episode 88's music". I am hence NOT responsible for the ear worm that will get you weirder looks than usual. Music is "Nipple Doctor" by Kate Janse van Rensburg. Remeber what we said? Yea. Me. NOT responsible.

Once again, sorry about the lack of logo on your ipod. I'm fairly busy and I totally forgot. Sorry folks!

After a crazy Power Surge of Doom which ate the last episode, the girls are back! They talk about books, boys, massages, and hookers. What else would you expect from our darlings  Lime & Violet? MissV also talks about The *blank blank* Project. It sounds cool.

Music is "Fly" by Hotrod Cadets.

Pssssst. The phrase of the day is "But, um".

Not really, I just thought it was funny the number of times that V said that phrase in this episode. Can we look forward to that in the future? Oh geeze.

It's a long one this week, but it is a catch up after all. Our Darling MissViolet recounts her trip to North Carolina, including yarn, fiber, being hit on, and the appropriate topics in the most inappropriate places which grab the attention of men in pick up trucks. Also, MissLime tells about Graduate Boy bringing her cookies and pop (or soda. I'm Canadian, I like my dialect). There is also lots of talk about marine animals. What is it with the marine animals? Or animals in general.

Music is "Rebound Boy" by Little Fish Big Pond. Most of their stuff is this type, and I love it all. DISCLAIMER: I did not pick this song to insinuate anything, it was just the one that really caught my ear.

It's a threeway. Bow chicka wow wow.

Lime, Violet, and Kumquat/Kiwi/Carin all managed to sit down and record. I must say that there is considerably more knitting content in this episode then there has been in the last few, there is also considerably less Violet..... I think those are signs of the Apocalypse right?

As per usual there is so much going on with these chickies that I can't even sum it up all nicely. Plus the cold medicine doesn't help.

Music is "Vampire in my Town" by Elsinore. I thought it was fitting considering the Twilight talk.

Sooooooo many tangents. Deep Religion, Lime's life update, Knitty Spring 09, where not to pick up boys, and much hilarity ensues in this episode.

Music is "Press Start to Continue" by Possible Oscar. You've heard them here before, and you will probably hear them here again. Anyone who can do a song about Captain Mal will always hold a special place in my heart.

Listen here, iTunes, the RSS (limenviolet.libsyn.com/rss), or your favorite podcast provider.

-Cheers folks! .gg.

PS. I apologize for not getting the logo into the episode so it shows up on your ipods, I'm fighting a cold, and even editing this took way longer than it should have. Things should be back to normal for me next week. Thanks for bearing with me!

Hey look! More real Lime and (non stoned) Violet! First off, sound quality. They had issues with the cheapo microphone they've been using for 3 years now. But at least it has kicked V's butt so much that she is actually going to set up the mixer. *snort* I've heard that before.

WARNING: The Gross Meter is high for this episode. Seriously. V tells about her Boobies Woe story.

They talk about snuggling with sea cows, being assaulted by dolphins, and they even delve into talk about Quantum Physics.

Music is "Workin Like a Dog" by Bill Kahler.

There is usually just crazy times two for the podcasts, this one though, there is crazy times four. Not even kidding. But on the plus side, there is real Lime! And David (as promised) from The Sweater Project. I'm not sure if he was put down anyone's shirt while at Stitch n Bitch, but I do know that one of the doggies got a good hello in. As a warning though, they started drinking before recording, and they were also hopped up on caffeine, and then....well yea. You remember the Barking Sheep episode? This was also.... interesting.

They are talking about all things dirty including balling, re-balling, foreplay with balls, sticky balls, all things kinky, and more. All of that was about knitting though, but that was pretty much it for the knitting content. But Miss V did get two awesome sounding books from Interweave.

Music is "Carrying On" by Mule Train.

If your mind is in the gutter, it's in good company. V's resides there permanently and Carin's quite often goes for extended visits. Let's just say that SSH needs to learn to use his other hand.

It's a shorter episode this week, still over an hour, but much less than usual. Carin has started a project, it's making her blue, literally not figuratively. V finished her 3 button wrap, it needs to be blocked, but with impending company the bed will be taken. Carin weighs in with the Des Moines Knitters Knit-In. She brings swag and stories.

Music is "Crazy" by Whitney Steele.

Wishing Carin a belated birthday, there was pie and woecake. Some of us look forward to Valentines day, others dread Singles Awareness Day (SAD). There was breakfast of cheesey and baconey goodness that got licked off of the wrapper. No worries, the tater tots were shared. (Fast food breakfast is the best hangover cure, EVER). It seems as though Miss V has stress gooney eye, but Carin helps it heal just with her presence.

Carin is working on socks, socks, and more socks. Miss V is working on her stockinette wrap, but hadn't for a few days due to Teh Busy. It seems like everyone is planning a trip.

Beware of the yarn porn, it is dangerous (and RIP deadly).

Music is 'Old Charlie Cross' by The Dixie Bee-Liners.

-cheers and happy crafting! .gg.

They're promising more frequent episodes, which <span style="font-style:italic;">might</span> mean shorter episodes. I for one, and kind of glad. These thing take forever to edit!

Today's show includes, Carin getting a stove, Violet's trip from Hell, Bleeding Eye Barnacles, Carin shows us her knits & strips for us, and we say goodbye to some of Carin's knitted family. There is Book Porn, Handmade book porn, Jewelery porn, and a fiber sample kit that look amazing.

Contest! Leave a comment, and have a chance to win some yarn.

Music is "Here's Looking at You" by Paul and Storm. You really need to actually listen to the lyrics, because the music can get in you and you will not realize how awesome the song it.

Happy 2009! This episode was actually recorded over two years, which might be why it's so long.

There is no yarn porn this episode, so you can take those credit cards out of the freezer, they're safe...for now. Miss Violet tells us all about her trips, and there is talk of an intervention because omg, Miss Violet has LOTS of sniffies.

Music is in honor of our dear, dear Violet. "Road Trip" by the Dust Rhinos. I'm thinking that they're Canadian considering that they mention a whole bunch of cities out West. I'm all about pimping the homegrown artists.

-Cheers and be happy and naked in 2009! .gg.

Don't worry about the original episode 77, it has apparently been damned to the ether by a Vito from Miss V. A Miss V Vito if you would.

This is a wonderful episode full of (among other things) boobs, victory laps, finished objects, yarn porn, Cheesy update, and frightening talk of Aliens and knitting needles. Oh and by the way, just for fun, let's have a poll in the comments section. Is "Toque" pronounced with an "O" as in the podcast, or with a "U"? Leave a comment on the blog (http://limenviolet.blogspot.com) and let's settle this once in for all.

Music is "Blood, Guts, and Boobs" by Sudden Death in honor of Miss V's "Properly placed due to an actual bra" boobs and Carin's Sweater Puppies.

-Cheers and happy knitting! .gg.
