Here it is!!
Thank you for all your patience — we had a major computer malfunction two weeks ago, and all the files became trapped in my computer.

Summer Hiatus Update August 26, 2010
Just a little note to reassure everyone that we’re not podfading, although it’s been FOREVER since we’ve recorded. 
We’ve had a very busy few months, and have a TON of stuff to talk about! Echo, MaddieHatter, and I are very excited to resume recording, and we’re set to launch Season 2 in mid-September (after Labor Day). We can’t wait to hear from everyone and tell you all about our Summer Vacation! Love you, miss you, talk to you soon!!

State of the Baby! July 28, 2010
RQ: I deeply apologize for not posting sooner, and leaving all of you wonderful people wondering what happened! As you may have guessed, I had my baby! This has thrown my life into a bit more of a tail-spin than I anticipated, but now that she’s six weeks old, I’m getting my feet back under me. We have an episode already recorded, which I will be posting soon, but then we are taking the rest of the summer as a hiatus. We plan to return to our “regular” recording schedule just after Labor Day (September) when we’ll all be a bit more mature.
.
Thank you for your endless patience while we assimilate all of our new changes! And here is my precious angel!

Listen HERE!
Part 2 of the Interview with Arenda Holladay, Advisor to the Masters Committee.
Episode 27: Interview With Arenda Holladay April 30, 2010
Listen HERE!!
.
This is an interview with one of the co-chairs of the TKGA, Arenda Holladay. She was kind en
ough to spend a LONG time with me, chatting about everything under the sun. RedQueen and Arenda discuss the Masters program, copyright laws, photo shoot shenanigans, Cast-On Magazine, gauge problems….
This is the mag with the “Wasp Wing Socks” in it.
.
The sweater on the cover is the one we’re referring to: the “Little Red Hooded Coat”
Many many thanks to Arenda, as well as deepest apologies for not publishing this interview sooner. I hope that all of those working through the Masters program will take her advice and enjoy the process. And for anyone who hasn’t yet enrolled, but has been thinking about it, I hope that listening to this gives you the confidence to do it!

Episode 26: Now With More Dogs! April 23, 2010
Listen HERE!!
.
Another “live” episode — this is the second (and last) one recorded before our unscheduled hiatus.
.
RQ is using Misti Alpaca to knit the Christening Gown from Marie Connolly’s book “The Expectant Knitter.” Very easy, coming out lovely! She’s actually swatched this one, and good thing, too: the stockinette is being knit on size 0, and the lace skirt is now on a 2. A big change from what the pattern suggests. (Oh, and she’s knitting the 0-3 month size, guessing that she’ll get the baby christened in the fall.)
.
MH is going to knit a shawl for her friend’s wedding, also using the Misti Alpaca.
.
Echo is using Malabrigo Lace in the Hummingbird colorway to knit Laminaria:
<—————- Ooooh, pretty!
.
The “Burn Test” for fiber involves burning the end of a small piece of fiber with an open flame. Natural fibers (cotton, wool, linen, etc.) will burn up and turn to ash. Synthetic fibers (acrylics of any kind) will continue to burn and will melt into a twisted piece of plastic.
.
MH finally got the yarn to finish her godson’s christening sweater! Yay! But now she has to wait because her shoulder is acting up again. But she’s going to massage regularly, and will be seeing a physical therapist who will hopefully give her awesome tips on how to avoid knitting-related injuries. Which she will then share with the rest of us!! And in related news, RQ picked up spinning again! She got almost one whole ounce spun of Echo’s hand-dyed roving, and it looks pretty good. Big apologies to all the other podcasters that we’ve been neglecting by not listening to their shows. Fail.
.
Both MH and RQ discuss their jealousy over people who are able to alter patterns to suit themselves. And RQ makes a terrible, horribly jumbled mess of trying to explain yarn substitutions. In fact, you’re probably MORE confused now than you were before you listened to us. (Listen to the Knitmore Girls for a better explanation — we will try to discover which episode they were discussing this in a clear, intelligent manner.) We are fascinated by those of you that are able to bend your minds around the concept of patterning. We do not seem to have the skills (yet), or maybe just the patience needed to become good pattern-makers. Thank goodness there are some of you who do, and we can use the patterns you make!!
.
Big thank you to our co-hosts today: Mabel, Desmond, and Lucy (in order of size from big to small).
