Color typing techniques are also discussed, such as Color Me Beautiful and Silver/Gold types.

I talk about my attempt at knitting Tango. And the miserable failure it was. I hope to get inspired to do some charity knitting for Operation Helmet Liner. Finally I rant about a bookmark to a pattern I should have downloaded years ago.

This usually means for me reigning in creative spurts. While I did have some “startitis,” I kept pretty focused on the projects I have been working on since Winter - Jester and Bluebonnet. The immediacy of a wedding and the usual sock knitting made me yearn for airy, yet substantial projects. In this episode I discuss the thinking process of my recent project planning. This process was brought about by my legal writing process.

This is more of a free form podcast with an ad-lib story by the Munchkin. Remember to email me or comment on the show to enter the contest to win a Winter Issue of Verena Knitting and a skein of Lorna’s Laces Lamb and Wool. I talk about how my Mac computer held hostage my hard disk memory for years. I share some news in the knitting world, and, as always, share my knitting-related frustrations.

DFW Fiber Fest 2009 is coming and I am watching out for a spinning class.

Thanks to all who have let me know they enjoy the show.

I started a group in ravelry for listeners to share experiences, thoughts, comments - well anything really. I started a thread about KAL.
