SPOILER ALERT!  Spoilers for Wonder Woman from 33:50 to 52:30!

So much celebrating.  So tired.

In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie is still working on the Brownstone sweater for AdminMonkey and will be working on it for the foreseeable future.  So as not to lose her mind, she’s also working on Kai-Mei socks and she’s FINALLY WEAVING!  Karen, meanwhile, is still working on the Locke Street cardigan and will be also for the foreseeable future, though she did feel compelled to cast on socks in Cozy Knitter’s “Come TOgether” colourway for a Blue Jays game.  She’s also been swatching a couple things but is resisting looking for patterns because she really needs to work on the sweater.

Also, um, Karen finally has a full-time job?  Which means she has a very predictable schedule, and can sign up for things like the TTC Knitalong!

In Geek Squee, EEEEEE WONDER WOMAN EEEEEEE.  We were not disappointed.  In other things, we saw a cool art print of the Star Wars characters as if it was set in the Middle Ages, as well as an official Star Wars animated webseries, Star Wars: Forces of Destiny, which is ALL LADIES ALL THE TIME.  There’s also some much-needed updates coming to the Pirates of the Caribbean rides at various Disney Parks that sound very cool.

In Cravings, Covets and Crushes, there’s a new Blue Moon Fiber Arts colourway that we really want (#ShePersisted!), and Karen has been lusting after (but unable to acquire) a self-striping yarn from Must Stash Yarns, “Beauty and Her Beast”.  Two guesses what the colour inspiration is.  Just guess.  Also, guys, we suuuuuper want to make the Wonder Woman Wrap.  WANT.
