This week Maggie has FINISHED HER HOLIDAY KNITTING (!!) and has done some nifty-looking sewing as well. Karen has another project started and did her best to corrupt some youngsters and bring them to the fibre side. So, par for the course, really.
We discuss some more NASA nerdiness, some insane Thanksgiving goodies (CherPumPle, anyone?), a some movie news (Muppets! More Snow White!), a desk that we are dying to get and a geek dating reality show that we’re dreading, based on its creators’ pedigree. Oh yeah, and sparklepires. Someone needs to make the Charlie Swan Show right now!
As for what we’re crushing on this week, there’s some local sock monkeys looking for good homes and another major online publication with a new issue. WOOT!
