Listen to this episode of Purl Diving to find out. Links: The Kolkata Knight Riders video that inspired it all. The anthem ("Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo" AKA "2 Hot 2 Cool") is on CD, and available at Nehaflix, fine purveyor of all that is Bollywood. "The Detonator" is the name of this year's Sock Wars Pattern. Go. Knit. Feel a frisson of glory. John Meadows read the excerpt from the Reuters news article. His excellent podcast, On the Log, is all about, as he says, "looking at the future through the rear-view mirror", and is one I eagerly await each Saturday morning. Bruce Murray *will* return to The Zedcast (I've been lighting candles, it will happen), and if you've never listened, it's worth starting at number one and working your way through his wonderful stories. And if you're a runner, you can find him on his weekly call-in running podcast, The Running Shoe. The Tech Guy occasionally hangs out at his blog, Unconventional Wisdom.

Darryl Cognito hides from the robots in the basement of the internet, where he produces the podcast Atomic Suburbia (As Darryl says, "Not just Calgary's best podcast, but also the most consistent!") I hope he doesn't mind me nicking his theme music, but as soon as I saw the bit where the nanas defeat the robots, I just knew I had to use it.

This episode was a true Christmas miracle for me. I searched high and low for music for it, and I stumbled across The Perfect Version of "We Three Kings" by Derek K. Miller on the Podsafe Music Network. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was perfect. It was the first time I'd dared to create an audio play, and I'm grateful to Sage Tyrtle of the Quirky Nomads podcast, and Bruce Murray of The Zedcast, who immediately agreed to provide the voices for Madame Sofronie and Jim; and to my Tech Guy, who agreed to narrate the story, even though he usually prefers to stay behind the scenes. For that alone, he merits the gift of handknits.

It's a metaphorical or imaginary place where one can retreat, recharge; where one can preserve one's identity and sense of self; where one can express one's most secret desires and emotions. I'm finding, more and more, that this podcast, this little pillow cast, this diary, has become, in many ways, my own secret garden. Well, not so secret, because I find myself compelled to share many of my most intimate thoughts with rather a large number of strangers. In the end, I'm not sure if, through this process, I'm preserving my identity or sense of self, or figuring out what it really is. Ultimately, it's a pretty self-indulgent process, and I thank you for indulging me, by downloading my musings and manias and listening to them. Okay, I know what you're really here for is a link to that yarn. Since I wrote and recorded this episode, I've discovered that Clara Parkes at Knitter's Review has -- well -- reviewed it, last spring, in fact. I read the review this morning (it is rather excellent, if you're interested in the yarn, I'd highly recommend reading it), and chuckled all the while, especially at her suggestion that one might want to keep smelling salts at the ready. Indeed. Oh, and don't get the idea that I don't like Serge Gainsbourg at all -- in fact, although some of his music makes me uncomfortable, there are more songs that I really love, including: "La javanaise" (originally written for Juliette Greco, but there's a lovely version by Indonesian singer Anggun); "Le poinçonneur des Lilas"; "Les petits papiers"; Audio: Water/wave sample under intro created by pushtobreak from The Freesound Project Sound of finches in the garden during winter in Australia recorded by oen from The Freesound Project Music featured in this episode: Aventura "Un beso" (mp3) from "God's Project" (Premium Latin Music) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Rhapsody Buy at Napster Stream from Rhapsody More On This Album

They were all three beautiful, but the youngest was the fairest. Their hut was quite hidden by the trees, and none saw their beauty but the sun by day, the moon by night, and the eyes of the stars. The old woman kept the girls hard at work, from morning till night, spinning gold flax into yarn, and when one distaff was empty another was given them, so they had no rest. The thread had to be fine and even, and when done was locked up in a secret chamber by the old woman, who twice or thrice very summer went a journey. Before she went she gave out work for each day of her absence, and always returned in the night, so that the girls never saw what she brought back with her, neither would she tell them whence the gold flax came, nor what it was to be used for." from "The Water-Lily. The Gold Spinners" from The Blue Fairy Book, edited by Andrew Lang, whose damned Fairy Books probably started it all. Spinnin' wheel, got to go round... Talkin' 'bout my troubles, it's a cryin' sin.

The Dyana Afghan Women's Fund is a Canadian charitable organization founded by Nelofer Pazira, an Afghan-Canadian journalist, writer and film-maker. DAWF provides assistance to local groups that provide education and training to Afghan women. DAWF has been my charity of choice for a couple of years now, as I truly believe that the most powerful change that can happen in a community is to make sure that women have the means and skills to look after themselves and their families. I am proud that the small bit of talent I have (in coming up with something as trivial as a t-shirt design) will go to help benefit someone and provide them with the means to learn how to support and better themselves.
