SPOILER WARNING!  We discuss spoilers for Sherlock 2×01 “A Scandal in Belgravia” between 38:30 and 1:01:00.

This week, there’s been some knitting progress for both of the co-hosts.  Maggie’s made progress on one project that’s going pretty well but has a long way to go, but the other is in ribbing purgatory.  However, she’s also been taking some time to convert someone else to the dark side.  Meanwhile, Karen’s been forgetting her knitting for most of this week, which is all right considering she’ll have time to make up for some of the forgotten knitting when she heads down to Kentucky later this week.

In Geek Squee, there’s a little bit about Avengers kicking more ass, this time at the box office, a project to turn your glasses into your next smartphone and something we probably should have figured out about the Easter Island statues.  We also watched the first episode of Season 2 of Sherlock this week and we have lots of thoughts on the episode. *Lots* of thoughts.

Finally, we have a review of a book for bigger knitters which includes a whole heck of a lot of patterns that Karen is dying to knit.

Going to the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival in Lexington, KY on May 19th?  Keep an eye out for Karen!  She’ll be undoing all the progress she’s been making on the stashdown (though she’s travelling with non-knitters, so who knows how long she’ll be there).  Just look for the woman with a Knit 1 Geek 2 shirt on, and get a sticker for your troubles.
