On this week’s episode, the adventures in knitting have taken a toll due to end-of-the-summer craziness, but there’s some adventures in yarn buying and some grandiose plans to make up for it.  This episode is also brimming with cute and LOLs (thanks to a couple inventive tumblr accounts and a band with a flashback to our childhoods) and some news about an upcoming movie that has us rather excited.  Finally, in case you needed more projects on the go, there are a few patterns we’ve found/been hearing about that are pretty tempting.


We’re going to be on the road on Sept. 10th, hitting up the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair!  And the something special mentioned in the podcast shipped today, so if you’re coming, be sure to find us and say hello!


As ever, you can email us at [email protected] or join in the discussion on the Knit 1 Geek 2 Ravelry group.


In this episode:


Celtic Knot Stole


Blue Moon Fiber Arts


While she’s not using the pattern itself, Maggie’s using the Uptown Boot Socks as inspiration for the peace socks.


Karen has finally updated her Ravelry pattern page!  Now you can see pictures of the Potions Master Stole, the Aphrodite Socks, the Viper Pilots and the Nameless Brainless Socks.


As mentioned above, we’ll be at the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair!

Hustlin’ Holmes tumblr because there’s nothing geeks love more than macros using Microsoft Paint.

Gudmundsdottir by Carol Sunday


Yet another pattern by Cookie A that we’re losing our minds over: the PB&J socks


So I kind of caved and bought the pattern for the Beekeeper’s Quilt.  Check out the tips, swaps and knitalong at the Tiny Owl Knits Ravelry group.
