Fun with Aimee and Darren

Well, the big surprise that I mentioned in the Ravelry group is that I am traveling this week, and had the opportunity to meet up with Aimee and Darren from the Knitting in Circles podcast. We had lunch and even recorded a podcast or two. And of course, we knit! (Or is it knitted? That always sounds funny to me. Anyway...)

It was too windy outside to film. (See my hair in the photo to the right!) And there weren't chairs in the gorgeous atrium, so we thought we would try to film in front of the view of the Gulf from my room. (See below.)


Gorgeous, yes! Ideal for filming? No! So we had to settle. But in the end, it worked out great!  (See the photo below of Aimee and me with our knitting. Darren was there too, I promise. Who do you think we got to take the pictures?!? We voted him an "honorary girlfriend.")


 And last but not least, Aimee made me some absolutely adorable stitch markers! Aren't they too cute?
I will post the cross-over podcast soon! Check out their podcast as well, and the bonus episode with me! They are both just as nice in person as they seem on their podcast. Hugs to you both!

The Great Podcast Migration

(The following events may or may not have occurred in the creation and publication of my podcast. I refuse to say in order to protect the guilty.) You decide you want to do a knitting podcast. You have a webcam on your computer. You could just record on there, upload it (somewhere, you don't even think about the where really) and tell everyone about it. Done. This will be easy. Then you get started. You sit down to record and realize that you aren't even quite sure what you want to talk about. You look around frantically for your works in progress. But wait, are you really prepared to admit on camera you have 20 WIPs? Not even your knitting circle know this shameful secret. (Actually, you didn't even realize this until you started counting them.) What about yarn, didn't you buy some yarn this week that was really cool? Ok, grab it. Share that, too. Segments - should you have segments? The cool podcasters all have cute segment names that go with cute them
