In this episode, there’s an update on what we’re working on (and what we wish we were working on). There’s a couple geeky things that made us mad this week, and so we get our rant on, complete with cupcake trebuchets, glitter psychological warfare and a couple f-bombs (we use the explicit tag for a reason, and it’s not always because of boobs!). Finally we drool over some lovely yarn and fantasize about our dream knitting/crochet/spinning tools and accessories.
So what almost totally frivolous tool/accessory would you get if you had a couple hundred bucks to devote to such a cause? We want to know! Comment at the blog, email us at [email protected] or tell us at the Ravelry group.

Toronto’s Downtown Knit Collective and the Knitter’s Frolic held every spring
Shall We Knit which was in New Hamburg. Now it’s in Waterloo, Ontario! No online shop, but if you’re in the area, they always have nice stuff at the shows I’ve been to so I’m sure the shop itself is even better.
Viper Pilot Socks now with pictures of my progress
The Potions Master Stole (YES, I finally have pictures!)
Disney Exec Admits Story Doesn’t Matter When Making Blockbusters. This explains a lot, really. Oh and I looked up what Pirates of the Caribbean 4 made: 90 million in its opening weekend. So yeah, blockbuster.
“Tough Gals: Do They Still Exist?” by Peg Aloi. That’s it, I’m getting my trebuchet. (And in talking about aspects of Xena’s costume I completely forgot about Gabrielle’s costume. Yeah. Really practical.) Also I totally forgot to mention during the ‘cast that this article is so not fair to guys that like to knit, make cupcakes, etc.
Designs by Romi and to help with our descriptions (and for the source of the definition we used), have a wikipedia article on the pennannular or Celtic brooch.
