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!
