We’re going to be at the Knitters’ Frolic on April 28th, and there’s a podcaster meetup from 12:30-1:30 in the new lounge space near the cafe! Come say hi to us, or feel free to stop us if you see us wandering around! SPOILER WARNING! Spoilers for Thor: Ragnarok from 1:17:56 to 1:23:14 The first […]
SIGNAL BOOST! So it’s been a terrible couple months for a lot of people. Hurricanes in the Caribbean, earthquakes in Mexico, wildfires in California, the Las Vegas shooting…2017 is the worst. So there’s a lot of people who could use your help. If you’d like to support those in need right now, check out the […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for Wonder Woman from 33:50 to 52:30! So much celebrating. So tired. In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie is still working on the Brownstone sweater for AdminMonkey and will be working on it for the foreseeable future. So as not to lose her mind, she’s also working on Kai-Mei socks and she’s FINALLY […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 from 40:05 to 49:47! In Adventures in Knitting, we went to the Knitter’s Frolic! And…Maggie actually bought more yarn than Karen did. This…this is weird. Maggie got some Brooklyn Tweed shelter for Jared Flood’s Brownstone pattern, which she’s making for Admin Monkey (who’s doing much […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for the new live-action Beauty and the Beast from 48:25 to 55:11! Reminder: We’ll be at the Toronto Knitters’ Frolic on Sat. April 29th and there’s going to be a podcast meetup! Hallway straight back from the entrance doors, 1pm. Come meet a whole bunch of podcasters! We’ll have buttons! And if […]
As it’s National Sibling Day, here’s a commentary from Karen and her brother, Steve! This time they watched an instalment from another series that was big in their teenage years: the 1995 James Bond movie Goldeneye. Marvel at the ancient computers! Roll your eyes at the Bond franchise’s lurching attempts to not be as sexist […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for Rogue One from 1:00:10 to 1:03:56! Spoilers for Season 4 of Sherlock from 1:11:20 to 1:19:14! Political talk from 00:02:55 to 00:23:48, in case you really don’t want to hear it for whatever reason. You’ve been forewarned. Also since we recorded, things have not entirely improved so the call to action […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for Doctor Strange from 1:15:00 to 1:21:00 and for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them from 1:23:40 to 1:34:45! So, politics happened, and is…kind of still happening as of this being posted? But we’ll avoid talking about that, and just say: be Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers. In Adventures in Knitting, […]
We’re back with a delayed episode and very brief show notes for the moment, because Karen’s trying to get this up before she runs out the door to Rhinebeck. In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie has been knitting a bunch of things, including the Jasmine Scarf and the Professor Higgins Socks, and went to the Kitchener-Waterloo […]
After a very long, very tiring summer full of college assignments, work, traveling and computer failures, we are FINALLY BACK! In Adventures in Knitting, it’s been damn hot, but we’re still knitting! Maggie had a big adventure and went to Savannah, Georgia, then was off to Disney World and Universal Studios (including the Wonderful World […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for the 2016 Ghostbusters movie from 25:21 to 1:17:48! It’s been a crazy summer and Maggie’s on vacation so there’s a couple episodes to come. However, in the meantime, Karen saw the new Ghostbusters movie and, well, she had to talk about it, big surprise. So she’s joined forces with Page Branson […]
We had technical difficulties and we lost a good part of Adventures in Knitting. However it’s a good thing the episode was delayed and I needed to record an intro, as there’s something actually important to talk about first, namely helping the people that have been displaced and have had homes and businesses destroyed in […]
*eyes date this was recorded* *eyes date it was posted* WELP. In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie is working on socks for herself using the Zipper Socks pattern by Patti Waters, the Celtic Myth shawl and she’s got Sweet Georgia yarn that she’ll be using in the Pixie Farts mittens for the CanConKAL/CAL. Karen, meanwhile, is […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for Agent Carter Season 2 up to episode 5 from 44:55 to 51:25! In this episode, there’s some kind of sports thing going on, apparently? In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie is working on a bunch of baby gifts including a Vivid Blanket and a couple seekrit things as well as the Shiny […]
We have a much more recent episode and the audio on this one is…not great. If you’ve never listened to the podcast before…maybe don’t listen to this one first? Unfortunately we had to choose between recording in the cafe where we have knit night or not recording for two weeks over the holidays, so we […]
SPOILER ALERT! Spoilers for Agents of SHIELD season 3 up to about episode 6 or 7 starting at 1:13:40 and ending at 1:21:55. Sooooooooooooo, yeah. Been a while. But here’s a new (old?) episode! And there’s a much more recent one coming in a day or two! (It’s been crazy guys, seriously.) Anyway, in this […]
Yes, we said it was episode 105, no there isn’t a missing episode 104. Whoops. Anyway! In Adventures in Knitting, Karen and Maggie both went to the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair! We met awesome listeners! We bought yarn and fleece! Our credit cards took a great deal of damage! So, you know, as usual. Meanwhile, Maggie […]
In this episode: can it be Rhinebeck already? No seriously, we want it to be Rhinebeck already, especially as both Karen and Maggie are going for the entire weekend this year, yay! We’ll also be at the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Fair on Sept. so look for the K1G2 logo t-shirts and Karen’s Peggy Carter hat, and […]
In this episode, Maggie has passed her black belt testing! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! In Adventures in Knitting, Maggie’s been pretty busy with said testing, but that didn’t stop her from starting a shawl designed especially for her, which will be a gift for someone, as well as working on a pair of Sacre du Printemps socks and […]
