Episode 14 The Stealth Approach to Socks

Show notes for the Knitting Pipeline Podcast  can be found on the show blog http://www.knittingpipeline.blogspot.com/.

Since tweaking my blog design the Followers are not showing up.  I cannot figure this out.  If you are a blogger on Blogspot and have any hints, please let me know.

I am going to set a schedule for myself to update this blog more regularly, even if it is just a short post.  I thought by now I would be a lot more efficient in producing the weekly podcast but it still takes me many hours to get the notes done, record, edit, upload, and write blog posts.  I should probably just have one blog but I am still attached to this one and will use it for knitting and some more personal writings.

I am still going to mention here when a new episode is up.  I added a flash player in the side bar.  If you click in the lower left corner there is a menu.  All the episodes are available here so you can listen without an external listening device.

In this podcast I talk about the finished project, Hurdy Gurdy Cardigan by Lynda Gemmell.  Notes on my Ravelry page.  I bought the kit at Stitches.  The colors spoke to me and I had to knit it even though I don't really have an intended wearer.  Actually,  I am planning on sending the little sweater to Botswana where I am sure it will be worn a lot and passed along.  This makes me very happy. 

Modifications:
  • Ribbed button band instead of garter stitch band
  • Shorter sleeves than pattern recommended
  • My little extra touch are the buttons, both lavender and lime green, alternating.

In this episode I talk about my finished Merope Shawl by Rosemary Hill, muse on the delight of good peaches, and read a letter by Elizabeth Zimmermann that was written to me on October 4, 1979.

Also, at the end of the podcast is a performance by the Dutch Pipes and Drums.

Enjoy!

I Have a Podcast!

I haven't update this blog in a while because I've been busy with another knitting venture...producing a knitting podcast. I've been wanting to do this ever since I began listening to podcasts nearly 3 years ago.  On May 26th some kind of a catalyst prompted me to move forward.  I had a long, steep learning curve to figure everything out and I'm sure it will be an ongoing learning process.  There are two episodes up now.  Several ways to listen:

My plan is to put up a 30 min show weekly, at least for now.

I still plan to keep this blog going.  The other blog will be mostly for show notes.

I hope you give Knitting Pipeline a listen!  Listener feedback is welcome!
