SPOILER WARNING: our Avengers spoilers start at 29:56 and go until 1:01.  (There’s a little discussion tangentially related to the Avengers after that point, but nothing spoilery.)

In this Hulk-sized episode, Karen and Maggie squeal about the Avengers.  A lot.

But first there’s some knitting going on, and some finished projects from Karen, one of which you might have to go back quite a few episodes to find discussion for.  Meanwhile, Maggie’s breaking her usual project monagamy for something a little more challenging.  Or will be, once she figures out what it is.

In Geek Squee, there’s a couple notes for the Benedict Cumberbatch and Sherlock fans!  There’s some news on Cumberbatch’s role in the Star Trek movie, as well as a recent Q&A for Sherlock fans in New York to kick off Series 2 finally debuting in the United States.

And then there’s our Avengers report.  This is what happens when we see a highly-anticipated movie together, people!  There’s our non-spoilery impressions first, then we get into spoilerville and trust me, you really don’t want to know spoilers before seeing this movie!

Be sure to stick around after the Avengers stuff, though, as we have a prize to draw for those who participated in the Stashdown contest!  Missed out on the contest but trying to curb your spending/use more of your stash?  The thread is still open and there are quite a few people still trying to be good about their yarn consumption!

Just a reminder for anyone in the Kenticky area, Karen’s going to be at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival on May 19!  She’ll be travelling with muggles, so she’s not sure how long she’ll be there, but if you’re going, be sure to look for her; the first 10 listeners to find her will get a sticker.
