Episode 20 – Tour Wrap Up

FINALLY! Episode 20! I’m so sorry for the long break between 19 and 20, this one is short but next week we’ll be back on track (hopefully).

Episode 19 – I Am Dani’s Educated Vagina

I got a little silly with Miss Violet while in North Carolina. North Carolina was the last stop on the Craft Culture Summer Tour. There is a lot of giggling in this episode, a few mild curse words and some talk about My Educated Vagina. If you sometimes listen with children present, this might be [...]

Episode 18 – Abingdon, VA

Episode 18 was recorded while I was in Abingdon, VA. The first part of this episode features Cassie of The Crafty Kitten and the second half is part of an interview I did with Sandra Bennett who owns Thistle Cove Farm. Sadly my recorder ran out of juice while I was interviewing Sandra so [...]

Episode 17 – The Other One with Jesh

Since I’m staying with Jesh I figured I’d talk to her again for the podcast this week. She’s creating this Math for Knitters series of classes and we discussed that as well as my trip thus far.
Enjoy!

Road Video!

Finally! I was able to get a video from the road done!

I’m currently in New Jersey with Jesh and will have some pictures and a podcast [...]

Interview with Shannon Okey

In between knitting, watching some Firefly episodes and doing funny voiced reenactments of what we perceive as being the dogs innermost thoughts we decided [...]

Chicago Stop Wrap Up

I had an absolutely wonderful time in Chicago and surrounding areas with Barb, her family and the knitters I met. Above is the full photo album of all the places I visited and some of the fabulous people I met while I was there.
Some highlights:
Wool & Company: This store is absolutely GORGEOUS. It’s huge, it [...]

Day 1 (and 2)

Day 1 (and 2)

I’ve made it safely to the Chicago area for the beginning of the tour! The flight down here was long and tiring (overnight, tiny seats, blech.) but once I made it safely to ground I’ve been having a lovely time! My host Barbara and her friend Larisa picked me up from the airport and we [...]

Almost there!

Almost there!

Only 48 hours until the official kick off of the Craft Culture Summer Tour! I had wanted to do another podcast episode before I left but have simply run out of time. I have some notes and research worked up for an episode about hand crafting unexpected items but I will shelve it until the [...]
