As promised, here's the link to Siamsa.  And apparently there is a new version of Siamsa, shows you how much I pay attention! But this dance can be a pick-me-up to just about anyone's day. Its so bright and colorful!
Oh, and here are two dances, comparing the old and the new versions.  Yes, the dresses weren't as long as I remember as a kid, but the concept is still there.  I will give the new version this: their sets are awesome, bad guys are way cooler and they upped the anti on the sound effects.

No podcast due to no knitting and family matters

Okay life is just crazy here and my knitting time is limited. If I had the time to podcast I don't have any knitting to show so you would be listening to me talk about nothing. Life will slow down and get less crazy..... I hope please cross your fingers. Right now I am caught up on tasks in the house I wanted to get done all year long. Happy dance. Sadly I don't have many stitches knit. Sorry for the lack of podcast but I promise to make it up to you next Monday. Maybe I should podcast on Sunday and up load on Monday. Things to think about. Till next Monday

Delay in podcast....till Thursday

Okay I have decided to delay my Monday podcast till Thursday so I can have Justin pull all the winners. We still have blankets arriving at the house so a delay is the best thing I can come up with. Okay back to checking the mail. See you Thursday :) and thank you for waiting. Knitalittle

A small side note from you friendly blog post crasher!

A little update in the prizes for everyone. The lovely Amanda of GnomeAcres,(http://www.etsy.com/shop/gnomeacres) is supplying a prize pack, with a skein of yarn, a tote bag and buttons, and we now know which of her gorgeous skeins of yarn could be yours! This skein is sw merino and nylon fingering weight yarn in the beached gnome colorway. And since it doesn't want to put a picture up, you can see it here...

So everyone head on over to her etsy shop, check out her podcast, she is a wonderful dyer and great to deal with!

~Lindy

I feel I should blog post crash this post for no reason since I am the only one of my co-hosts to not do so!  So I will just add a big thank you to everyone who knitted blankets for the past two months!  We appreciate all your hard work as do all the babies who are now going to have wonderfully warm blankets to cuddle up in.  You guys have made this more of a success than we could have every dreamed!

Episode 32 I forgot to mention Dawn till Dusk is a knit a long this month

Okay I must have been rushing so I forgot to mention that Dawn till Dusk is my pick for the knit along.  This is Episode 32 not 31 like I had thought.  Oh my sometimes I should just skip a day.  Hope everyone has a great day and a better week.

Episode 30: Growing up is optional, growing up is mandatory, unfortunately

Sorry for the late upload today guys.  I just could not drag myself out of bed today, I have been managing about 3 hours of sleep a night for the past couple of nights and it finally caught up with me I guess.  Plus blip decided that it wanted to upload the episode super slow today.  Well, I guess that could be the dorm internet connection.
Lots of exiting things happened this week, resulting in a very sore me for a few days.
FO's: Picturesque Capelet
WIP's: Small Talk Shawl
Future projects: A Grey Loop, by Helen G. for my KAL for April. Grab your yarn and needles and start it up so I can get a pattern, and you can too! Thanks for watching, Happy Knitting!

This is SkyZone:our staff outing on Saturday that after 2 hours resulted in us being DRENCHED in sweat, but super fun!  Still provided us with the realization that we are not children anymore that can bounce on trampolines for hours on end though :(

Episode 29 Movie maker is harder than it looks

I had forgotten to show you my new wool.  Next Monday I promise to show it to you.  Hey I'm getting the hand of some things and well the others I'm still working on.  Movie maker is not working for me I know it is me. So maybe I have a week to work on working with the program.  Maybe I will have two things for a surprise next Monday.  Okay I will add show notes later I'm off to teach my class.  Have a great day everyone.

Episode 27: Fire Drills, Fire inspections and Fun

I made a mistake while saving it, contrary to the intro, this is actually Episode 27. Oops.
We had a fire drill at 7 am, and shortly after the fire inspector came by, hence the title. You will have to see for yourself what the fun was (a telephone was involved ;)).
WIP's: My capelet, which while parts of it were blocking stunk up my room because its alpaca. And caused me paranoid grief during the fire alarm.
Finished Objects: The Pavonis!!!!! Wooohooo, its done, and its gorgeous!
Starting soon, perhaps some scarves with the yarn I got in a package from home and the hitchhiker, which Mum and Lindsay have already finished.
See you all next week, thanks for tuning in! Happy Knitting.

Episode 25: Happy Pi Day! (AKA, I have no title because it was a blah week.)

Its PI day everyone!!!! This week was kinda uneventful, ad instead of that lovely free time being filled with lots of knitting it was unfortunately filled with mounds of homework.
UFO's: Pavie, almost done though! I'm thinking based on my yarn this is going to have to be my last repeat!
I started the Picturesque cape from Jane Austen knits out of Baby Alpaca, for which I shopped for this weekend. Yarn is absolutely gorgeous, watch to take a look for it! Have a great week, be sure to check us out on Itunes and Ravelry :)

Episode 22: Knitting > (school) books

Sorry for the delay in uploading, Blip wasn't being nice to me. It kept rejecting the file so I had to convert it to a different format.
 Finished Objects: Evelyn's sweater! Now I don't feel guilty working on other projects.
 WIP's: Pavonis....slow but steady!
Future projects: a shawl that I'm blanking on the name right now, and the caplet from Jane Austen Knits for Spring Fling later this month.
Be sure to join our ravelry group and our discussions! Thanks for watching!

Episode 21 I have a cold in my head

Episode 19: Small Victories can overshadow hectic nights

 I made a mistake in recording! Lindsay podcasts on Friday, not Wednesday. My brain is shot, so don't blame me, blame all the residents that decided to cause trouble last night.
WIP's: The pavonis has been extended into March. Let us see your progress on our Ravelry group. Evelyn's sweater has gotten a good amount of work done on it at the expense of my pavonis. I should have it done by the end of the week though.
Finished objects: My socks :)
Thank you to Enid for following our blog!
Update since recording.  There was another fire drill.  If I had pushed back my recording a half hour you would have witnessed a jump of fright from me in the middle of the podcast!

Episode 18 I'm a big chicken

In relation to Lindsay's post

For those of you who do not know who S club 7 is, here is a link to one of there songs, (Enjoy the 90s fashion and dancing) the one that Lindsay was trying to play through the podcast. So now you can picture Lindsay and I about 10 years younger on the back of a bed jamming out with the bedposts as "microphones" to S club 7 and Celine Dion. Our renditions of Immortality, My heart will go on and Us were gems. I'm sure mum would agree!

Episode 16: The busy RAs need a new toaster so we don't set things on fire

WIP's: the other ones from past podcasts that I didn't show because they have had 0 progress made on them :(. My pavonis (or pavie as lindsay as decided to name it) has grown by 2 repeats. I am currently on repeat 6! We may be extending it to March, we'll see.
Completed projects: a fleece snuggle!!!!! We are on itunes,on plurk (i'm katiejo36) and we have a ravelry group, so be sure to check us out there. If you like what you see, boost our ego and comment. If you don't, don't bother. Nope, just kidding, let us know what we can fix! We love comments.

Incert your own clever title here

Episode 13-Happy Half Priced Chocolate Day!

Time to hit those shops, every girls dream in the shops today....cheap chocolate! How was everyone's Valentine's day? Hope it was filled with lots of sweets and chocolate. Pavonis has had its regular 1 1/2 repeats added onto it, Evelyn's sweater has been worked on-a total of 3 increases made on it. Other than that it was a normal college week filled with school work that unfortunately took precedence over my yarn adventures :( Why do I have to be a studious college student? I'd get soooooo much more crafting done!

Episode 12 My baby wears boxing gloves

I am having troubles with getting my episode to upload so I'm adding a link to the pod cast sorry folks long day long night just crossing my fingers I can get it to you some way some how.

http://blip.tv/3-stitches/my-baby-wears-boxing-gloves-5956216

Episode 10-Exciting week filled with new discoveries!

Hey guys! I have a new hobby, but you have to watch to find out what it is! Lots of progress has been made on the pavonis, despite all the work that had piled up during the week. Be sure to join our ravelry group to share your triumphs or frustrations (or both, I've found that my mood can change so quickly from row to row on this shawl!) Thanks to all our new members for tuning in! We are now on iTunes if you prefer to watch us there or download us and take us with you.

Racheal's snuggle

Episode 7-Very little progress made :(

Hey guys! Welcome to episode 7! Can you believe it's February already??? Not much progress has been made on any of my projects unfortunately. This week I will aim to change that! Join us on our Ravelry group to talk about what you are making, or ask any questions about the pavonis. Shout outs: Thank you so much yarnivore for the shout out, we appreciate your views! Welcome EmilyK3661 and PhotoKitty to our ravelry page, sorry you didn't get a proper shout out in the episode. This is what I get for making show notes 5 minutes right before the podcast. And thank you to KnitReadSleep and Kelly McCullough for joining our blog. Thanks for tuning in!

We have sound

Episode 4-Back to the monotony-not!

Show notes: Hey everyone! I've finally settled into a routine, so this week was not crazy at all. Yeah right, only in a dream world! I haven't started any new projects so there aren't any links to provide. As always, you can find us on Ravelry where you can also find the link and helpful advice on the Pavonis, our knitalong shawl that I've finally got the hang of!!!!  Thank you to BusyHappyKnitter for hopping on board our Ravelry group and watching our podcast.
Works in Progress: Yellow crocheted shawl, Red/Maroon frilly scarf, Pavonis, Evelyn's sweater, Amanda's legwarmers, and my socks.
I also apologize for the late upload.  It would have been up sooner, but as I explain in the podcast, our internet has been soooooooooooooooooo slow.  So bear with me until I find a time to upload over the next couple of weeks when it will upload at a reasonable pace.
Happy knitting, thanks for watching!

Ever have one of those days.... yep I'm having one.  You should be seeing a pod cast.  Yes my smiling face but instead these word are filling up the screen.  Yes my camera came, and I raced to install everything.  It worked oh I was home free.   Famous last words.  Set everything up to pod cast and no sound.  So I'm going to be talking to tech support people for most of the day.  Why oh why oh why can I never have a device that I plug in and go, oh wait I did and still no pod cast.  Well I thought I would show you what I've been working on so you do know I'm knitting and finishing and casting on.  If I can get the sound problem solved and do a podcast tomorrow I'll be happy to do such a thing.  Knowing me and my dismal ability to work well with technology don't hold your breath.

 Okay I'm having to much fun knitting socks.  The blue pair are really nice and war.  A bit big really don't know what I did but next pair will be better.  Lindsay this is the new wool that I got in the mail.  Yours came two.... now do you want me to send it to you at school?

 Okay I got caught.  I knit up things I need and for the most part don't worry about writing down the pattern.  Well a young knitter fell in love with a purple bag much like this one and asked for the pattern.  Hummmm should have taken better notes.  I had to knit up this bag to write down the pattern.  What we don't do the help fellow knitters.

 Oh I like this shawl much better since I blocked it.  Liked it so much I cast on another just like it but in a sock weight yarn.  Hope it turns out as nice.

 This is the prayer shawl I gave to a friend with breast cancer.  I just wanted her to know we are all thinking about her and supporting her.  Sharon you can beat this thing.

Snuggles boy have I been knitting snuggles and plan on sewing and crocheting some up.  Good thing we have until the end of Feb.  Hey if you haven't knit up a snuggle why not.  They really help and once you start they are hard to stop.

Okay keep your fingers crossed that I can get the sound to work on my camera and I will post soon.  If I can't well Kathryn will be pod casting Wed. and Lindsay Fri.  Ta Ta for now.

Episode 2: Back to the grind!

Shownotes:
I rambled a bit during the first part of this, sorry about that, i'd like this mostly to be about knitting, so as I progress I am sure that it will be more and more about both knitting and crocheting.  I forgot to mention my crocheted shawl as a WIP, so I will be sure to mention it next week.  Look for Lindsay's update on Friday, and be sure to check out our Ravelry group.  Happy knitting and crocheting!
Oh, I forgot, Mum had trouble with her webcam so she couldn't podcast on Monday.  She has to get a new one before she can podcast again.....but good news, its on its way!

Podcast!!!!- Episode 1

So we have decided to amp up our blog by adding a podcast!!!!  We recorded this podcast, after several attempts, but realized that we didn't quite know how to upload the video.  Sort of jumped the gun there.  Therefore, this video is a little out of date, I flew back on Thursday (not tomorrow like I say) and Lindsay flew back yesterday at school.  We would have recorded a more up to date one, but we felt you guys should see us together as a group before we start doing our individual ones, but with both Lindsay and I at school already, that proves difficult.  So for the next four months you will have our individual podcasts to look forward to! (or not, we're not sure.) Also, sorry for the randomness of this episode-its our very first podcasting experience. It will get better as time goes on.  Oh......and we need to work on our volume, so either use headphones.....or hope that you have really good speakers! Sorry about that, we'll get better!
