Another Knit Chat episode with Staci of VeryPink! But before we get into the chat, I talk about my cat being sick. Seriously, if you notice a lump on your pet, take them to the vet. Although his was so far advanced, the end result of a minor procedure might have been the same to take care of it. (Ewwww.) Seems that this happens when one cat scratches another, and Murphy has a way of doing sneak attacks on our other older cat, Mona. She probably nailed him in self-defense.

Hey, I was just trying to be helpful!) Pick up some of her stickers - they are truly amusing. (There are going to be photos and links here later on.

A sick cat is crying for me right now, so that trumps everything else. Plus there is an art show tomorrow, and I have prints that must be ready!) Staci & I chatted about a whole variety of things. It started off with the Big President Heads (photo will be inserted here later) and Glenwood Cemetary (again, photo). I had taken photographs earlier in the day of Staci with the big boys and my loverboy, Lou. My giant camera was used to take those shots, with the cranberry relish bowl on top (you’re waiting for more photos here). We talked about upcoming events, including how the Yarnharlot has herself again underestimated the knitters. (It is still wrong of everyone else to be so dismissive of the power of the knitters, but she is allowed to underestimate.) You can go to New York City at the end of March to see her. You can also come to Hill Country Weavers in Austin, Texas on March 11th (during SxSWi) to meet the bloggers. I’ll be there - will you? The Dallas/Fort Worth Fiber Festival is also coming up in April, and how could you possibly resist anything that has both fiber & festival in the name? If you want to go to the big show, you might want to consider making it out to Maryland Sheep & Wool. I’m working out plans to go with Mac if the airlines are willing to sell me a ticket to Philly at a really good price. Hey! Vet bills are expensive! The fiber diet is helping though, so I might be able to swing it. Normally, Mac has gone with the bus from Rosie’s Yarn Cellar. We moved on to talking about yarn, projects, and other various goodies. There is the Wrap Style capelet that I resisted buying yarn for - Katy Blogless is making one, and our friend Ann wears hers all the time. It was hard to resist. I was unable to completely give up my Collinette Jitterbug, exchanging the Toscana instead of returning it, and coming home with a skein of the Bright Charcoal Jitterbug instead. I really need to think about this though, as the sock stash really is huge (another photo!) Staci & I have had some overlap lately in addition to the Jitterbug purchase. She is already making the Chevron Scarf using two skeins of Koigu that really don’t go together at all normally. They make a lovely scarf, and we were both inspired by other knitters who have made them. I’m planning on starting mine soon. We also both have a set of the Sox Stix now, which I adore but am afraid of at the same time. I think I’m going to have to buy some short Addi Turbo DPNs from Nancy Bush so I don’t have to worry about breaking them. Staci knit an adorable Baby Ski Sweater for her future niece or nephew. (I still think neice.) Now she is working on the most boring knit ever, Baby Ski Pants. (Since we recorded the show she has taken a break from the pants to make the first mitten.) It is a Dale of Norway pattern, and she is using Dale of Norway Baby Ull to knit it. I love that yarn. I am still working on the Cambridge Jacket from Interweave Knits and have started working on the P-sock again out of Koigu. Mike has finished his first hat, and he is really happy with it! The pattern came from Never Knit Your Man a Sweater (Unless You Have the Ring). If you are in Houston and you want to be bitchy with us, we try to show up at the Central Houston Stitch & Bitch. Ok, we’re not really bitchy. We would love to meet you though. I am also usually at Twisted Yarns on Fridays from 11-2:30 or so. If I’m lucky, Staci will design a allergy mask cover for me at SnB sometime. Wouldn’t that be fashionable? I’m planning on getting a back from 2CheekyMonkeys made from a Monkees album. Ha! I didn’t catch that before now! How funny - a Monkees bag from 2CheekyMonkeys! Ha! Ok, ok, focus… (I’ll share a photo of the album that I bought.) Staci has nicely organized DPNs thanks to the Organized Knitter. The bags are really well made, and I highly recommend them! At the end of the very long show (sorry about that!), I talked about Favorite Socks: 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave. Originally, I didn’t think I wanted this book. I have the majority of patterns in separate magazines. Now? I’m really glad I got this book. I love having the patterns all in one place. As a bonus, they are having a Knit-along! You can join the Interweave School of Socks! I am all about advancing in a master study of sock knitting. You can learn more about it on their site if you haven’t signed up already. A first in Pointy Sticks history, there is no closing music. The show was long enough as it was! The opening song, Poke You in the Eye, is by the Flying Fish Sailors and they have generously allowed me to use it for this show. Support the artists that support the podcast and buy their CDs!

Another Knit Chat episode with Staci of VeryPink! But before we get into the chat, I talk about my cat being sick. Seriously, if you notice a lump on your pet, take them to the vet. Although his was so far advanced, the end result of a minor procedure might have been the same to take care of it. (Ewwww.) Seems that this happens when one cat scratches another, and Murphy has a way of doing sneak attacks on our other older cat, Mona. She probably nailed him in self-defense. I also talked about Zabet’s stickers! I bought mine at ReBelle Girls in Lexington, Kentucky - but you can now buy them online! (She mentioned something about me being a bully. Hey, I was just trying to be helpful!) Pick up some of her stickers - they are truly amusing. (There are going to be photos and links here later on. A sick cat is crying for me right now, so that trumps everything else. Plus there is an art show tomorrow, and I have prints that must be ready!) Staci & I chatted about a whole ... Yeah!

It started off with the Big President Heads (photo will be inserted here later) and Glenwood Cemetary (again, photo). I had taken photographs earlier in the day of Staci with the big boys and my loverboy, Lou. My giant camera was used to take those shots, with the cranberry relish bowl on top (you’re waiting for more photos here). We talked about upcoming events, including how the Yarnharlot has herself again underestimated the knitters. (It is still wrong of everyone else to be so dismissive of the power of the knitters, but she is allowed to underestimate.) You can go to New York City at the end of March to see her. You can also come to Hill Country Weavers in Austin, Texas on March 11th (during SxSWi) to meet the bloggers. I’ll be there - will you? The Dallas/Fort Worth Fiber Festival is also coming up in April, and how could you possibly resist anything that has both fiber & festival in the name? If you want to go to the big show, you might want to consider making it out to Maryland Sheep & Wool. I’m working out plans to go with Mac if the airlines are willing to sell me a ticket to Philly at a really good price. Hey! Vet bills are expensive! The fiber diet is helping though, so I might be able to swing it. Normally, Mac has gone with the bus from Rosie’s Yarn Cellar. We moved on to talking about yarn, projects, and other various goodies. There is the Wrap Style capelet that I resisted buying yarn for - Katy Blogless is making one, and our friend Ann wears hers all the time. It was hard to resist. I was unable to completely give up my Collinette Jitterbug, exchanging the Toscana instead of returning it, and coming home with a skein of the Bright Charcoal Jitterbug instead. I really need to think about this though, as the sock stash really is huge (another photo!) Staci & I have had some overlap lately in addition to the Jitterbug purchase. She is already making the Chevron Scarf using two skeins of Koigu that really don’t go together at all normally. They make a lovely scarf, and we were both inspired by other knitters who have made them. I’m planning on starting mine soon. We also both have a set of the Sox Stix now, which I adore but am afraid of at the same time. I think I’m going to have to buy some short Addi Turbo DPNs from Nancy Bush so I don’t have to worry about breaking them. Staci knit an adorable Baby Ski Sweater for her future niece or nephew. (I still think neice.) Now she is working on the most boring knit ever, Baby Ski Pants. (Since we recorded the show she has taken a break from the pants to make the first mitten.) It is a Dale of Norway pattern, and she is using Dale of Norway Baby Ull to knit it. I love that yarn. I am still working on the Cambridge Jacket from Interweave Knits and have started working on the P-sock again out of Koigu. Mike has finished his first hat, and he is really happy with it! The pattern came from Never Knit Your Man a Sweater (Unless You Have the Ring). If you are in Houston and you want to be bitchy with us, we try to show up at the Central Houston Stitch & Bitch. Ok, we’re not really bitchy. We would love to meet you though. I am also usually at Twisted Yarns on Fridays from 11-2:30 or so. If I’m lucky, Staci will design a allergy mask cover for me at SnB sometime. Wouldn’t that be fashionable? I’m planning on getting a back from 2CheekyMonkeys made from a Monkees album. Ha! I didn’t catch that before now! How funny - a Monkees bag from 2CheekyMonkeys! Ha! Ok, ok, focus… (I’ll share a photo of the album that I bought.) Staci has nicely organized DPNs thanks to the Organized Knitter. The bags are really well made, and I highly recommend them! At the end of the very long show (sorry about that!), I talked about Favorite Socks: 25 Timeless Designs from Interweave. Originally, I didn’t think I wanted this book. I have the majority of patterns in separate magazines. Now? I’m really glad I got this book. I love having the patterns all in one place. As a bonus, they are having a Knit-along!

HUGE APOLOGIES to Rosemary of the CraftBorg, as I knew I was missing one and I just realized a few seconds ago whose it was! (I’m so sorry, Rosemary!) I’ll include it in the next show, because I always feel celebrations should go on all month long! I shared a number of different comments on sock knitting, and I will have to come back later and add all the appropriate links to the show notes. My brain is fried right now, seriously fried. By the way, I did NOT record this episode while sitting in a tin can, but it sure sounds like it. Since it was my second take, I couldn’t do a third one and instead spent several hours editing it to get it to a good level. I’m still not happy about it, but sometimes you just have to roll with it. The book that I reviewed - well, sort of - in this podcast is Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. I will post photos of Nancy and the socks themselves in the next day or so. She truly is amazing teacher and I think everyone should have an opportunity to learn from her. If you can’t see her in person, be sure to pick up her books. The are WONDERFUL. I also talked about how I finally gave in and knit with Sox Stix by Lantern Moon. They are smooth, short, and in my opinion? Swell! I actually like knitting with DPNs when it comes to these. My fear of breaking them is making me consider buying short Addi Turbos instead though - Nancy Bush sells them through her shop. As always, the opening song is by The Flying Fish Sailors (who have live shows coming soon! Go see them in person if you are in the Houston area!). The closing song for this episode is King of the Rollerama by Dierdre Flint, and it makes me giggle like a 12 year old girl every time I listen to it. Mmm… Jean Nate and Jordache Jeans! Please buy their albums and support the artists that support the podcast! Thanks again to everyone for listening and for making the past year simply fabulous!

Since it was my second take, I couldn’t do a third one and instead spent several hours editing it to get it to a good level. I’m still not happy about it, but sometimes you just have to roll with it. The book that I reviewed - well, sort of - in this podcast is Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. I will post photos of Nancy and the socks themselves in the next day or so. She truly is amazing teacher and I think everyone should have an opportunity to learn from her. If you can’t see her in person, be sure to pick up her books. The are WONDERFUL. I also talked about how I finally gave in and knit with Sox Stix by Lantern Moon. They are smooth, short, and in my opinion? Swell! I actually like knitting with DPNs when it comes to these. My fear of breaking them is making me consider buying short Addi Turbos instead though - Nancy Bush sells them through her shop. As always, the opening song is by The Flying Fish Sailors (who have live shows coming soon! Go see them in person if you are in the Houston area!). The closing song for this episode is King of the Rollerama by Dierdre Flint, and it makes me giggle like a 12 year old girl every time I listen to it. Mmm… Jean Nate and Jordache Jeans! Please buy their albums and support the artists that support the podcast! Thanks again to everyone for listening and for making the past year simply fabulous! Big plans ahead for 2007, including interviews with Scout, Nancy Bush and the Yarn Harlot! Who knows what else the year has in store for us all? DOWNLOAD EPISODE 14 - The Podcastiversary!

I met Nancy Bush and learned how to knit Vintage Socks; an interview with her is on this show. I went to Boston and met up with Guido and Grumperina and got to knit with them. I celebrated my 2 year Knitaversary and a few days later my 1 year Podcastiversary - where I very appropriately had no voice. *rolling my eyes* All in all, it has been a great time since the last show, although I’ve done no knitting in the past week. That part hurts just a little bit. It was amazing to me how many people participated in the Podcastiversary contest! Simply fabulous - and several people won cool prizes as a result!

Links to books and people from the chat with Staci: - Stahman’s Shawls and Scarves: Lace Faroese-Shaped Shaws from the Neck Down & Seamen’s Scarves - Classic Elite Yarns - American Textile History Museum Music in this episode: - Poke You in the Eye by the Flying Fish Sailors (Amazon) - My Sweetest Vice by the Joel Lightman Band from the Podsafe Music Network.

Since I have been holding on to an interview since December 24th, I could not possibly wait any longer to get the show out. The big news around here? I will be having shoulder surgery in the next month or so. Yes, the fun never ends. Hopefully the burning pain in my shoulder will finally end though! On to the various things mentioned in the show: Charity Knitting: The Red Scarf Project is in full swing and you can still send in your scarves! For more information, visit Orphan.org’s site and read about it at Interweave Press too. Interweave also has a free pattern for you to use designed by Ann Budd.

Much more adorable in person than in the photos; I’m knitting mine out of the Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran. I hope to wear it tomorrow. - The Forest Canopy shawl that I haven’t touched in over a month now is going to be frogged. US 4 is simply too small of a needle for my taste with this yarn, so I must go up a size or two. - I have started the second front panel of the Noro Kochoran Lucy Jacket! I can only knit on it until I sneeze though. Then I must put it away. - I cast on and finished the Argosy scarf in just 3 days. It is lovely! But damn Noro and those knots! - I also made a scarf from Silkwood’s Contessa (thick & thin) yarn. It still needs to be photographed. - Mike is working on a wallet from the book, “Knitting at with Balls”. - I am participating in the Stashalong 2007. Someone hold me please while I resist the urge to buy more yarn. Winter Holiday Notes: - If you are in or near Lexington, Kentucky, visit the fabulous new yarn shop there, ReBelle Girls! I can not say enough good things about that shop and all of the goodies that they carry. - Tap into your inner rebel with The AntiCraft. Renee is really nice, but I only got to meet her in passing. Zabet, meanwhile, can make you laugh until you cry. Seriously. (I’m pretty sure Renee has the same powers. I hope to see more of her next time I visit Lexington!) Favorite Things: - The lucky number for the “Favorite Things” contest winner was #8! Joy will be the lucky recipient of the infamous Ear Light, DPN holder, and highlighter tape. I used the Random Number Generator to “draw” the number after making a document listing every comment, including Odeo ones, in order. - Speaking of Odeo comments - feel free to use the button over there at any time! I *love* to hear from you. The Odeo comments left for the Favorite Things contest will be included in the next show. - My latest favorite thing? The KnitPicks Options needle set. I will probably never use my Denise needles again, and my Addi Turbos are even gathering dust. Yes, I love them that much. Coming Up: - How to survive without a stash - an interview with stashless knitter S t a c i. - A visit to Koenig Farm - More personal blogging here between episodes!

It is full of way to fix the mistakes you make as quickly and painlessly as possible. You can follow the book tour online at several sites.

Congress, organized by Susan of YarnBar. I’m so glad that Julia invited me - she is the best hostess! (Ok, she let me invite myself. Whatever.) I’ll add a link in for Sarah’s fabulous Longhorn Intarsia sweater. I met Caro, and I forgot to tell you all about her when I talked about the Harlot! Eep! (Next episode!) I meant to visit Tara for just a night, but I refused to leave. When I did, thanks to the inspiration of Domino Magazine and Tara’s really helpful wisdom on finding an inspiration piece, I redecorated my bedroom. Ikea played a big roll in the makeover. At the end of the month I returned to Austin to see The HARLOT! I sound like a goof babbling about her, but that was how she made me feel that day so I left it alone.

Oh, and if you want to contribute to the show, there is a donation button, and I’m always happy to share essays, poetry, music or anything else you want to share. Thank you again to the wonderful musicians for sharing their talents; please support them by buying their music! - “Poke You in the Eye” by the Flying Fish Sailors (Amazon) - “Better Days to Come” by Marc Doiron - “Ikea” by Jonathon Coulton - “Absolutely Fabulous” by Allison Tartalia DOWNLOAD EPISODE 8 - What I Did on my Summer Vacation (Part 2) I have to say this up front so that we are clear - I was exhausted when I recorded this episode. I have had a super busy week (you can read all about it on BigPinkCookie if you are interested), so I am running on empty right now. This weekend can’t get here soon enough. So I apologize in advance for the rambling in this episode. The show was already 3 days late, and I couldn’t stand putting it off any longer! I sold one company, and I’m starting something in a completely new direction with photography. Our first show is the first Saturday of November at the Yale Street Market in the Houston Heights. Speaking of photography, please check out Boobiethon and flash your *other* stash for breast cancer. Help Deb raise money to fight leukemia, the Dracula Blood. (Her daughter is looking for sponsors too!) Join me every week for Finish It Friday! Be sure to post or e-mail photos - I want to hear about your finishing! It is a great time to weave in ends, attach sleeves, knit up a neckband. Your projects need your love. I am finishing my Clapotis, and the never-ending Baby Blanket is all done. I started socks that I am worried are going to be too small - again. I am knitting a sweater finally, and I LOVE Brooks Farm Yarn’s 4-Play! It is the BEST. I review Knit Fix, which I really liked. It is full of way to fix the mistakes you make as quickly and painlessly as possible. You can follow the book tour online at several sites. (I’ll add the link list tomorrow, but I think Brenda Dayne has it listed on her site if you don’t want to wait.) My first trip to Austin this summer involved Knit Flix night at Jo’s on S. Congress, organized by Susan of YarnBar. I’m so glad that Julia invited me - she is the best hostess! (Ok, she let me invite myself. Whatever.) I’ll add a link in for Sarah’s fabulous Longhorn Intarsia sweater. I met Caro, and I forgot to tell you all about her when I talked about the Harlot! Eep! (Next episode!) I meant to visit Tara for just a night, but I refused to leave. When I did, thanks to the inspiration of Domino Magazine and Tara’s really helpful wisdom on finding an inspiration piece, I redecorated my bedroom. Ikea played a big roll in the makeover. At the end of the month I returned to Austin to see The HARLOT! I sound like a goof babbling about her, but that was how she made me feel that day so I left it alone.
