Brainy Thing: 15:45. Behind the Redwood Curtain. 25:45   What We're Learning from Our Knitting Margaret fulfills her multi-year goal of knitting some decorative mini-pumpkins, using Susan B. Anderson's Fall Harvest Charm Set https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fall-harvest-charm-set. Catherine completed her dishcloths for her Dishcloth exchange. She used the classic Ballband Dishcloth by Kay Gariner and Ann Shayne. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ballband-dishcloth And despite her efforts to resist, Catherine is starting the Westknits MKAL 2022: Twists & Turns shawl.   Brainy Thing: The book Behave: The biology of Humans at our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky is five years old now but is chock full of information about human behavior and told is Sapolsky's witty style. Margaret reviews it.   Behind the Redwood Curtain: Catherine tells of her visit to the new Redwood Skywalk in Eureka's Sequoia Park, suspended 100 feet above the ground. https://www.redwoodskywalk.com/   Welcome to Episode 141 of Teaching Your Brain to Knit where we review highlights from the book Behave by Robert Saplosky, discuss learning from knitting pumpkins, dishcloths and a mystery shawl, and report on the new Skywalk among the Redwoods at Eureka's Sequoia Park.    

Cleaning has never played a bigger role in our lives than it does today. Whether it's wiping down workplace surfaces or disinfecting supermarket trolley handles, we're doing it all more. Microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles is with us to discuss.

Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Subscribe on Android or Subscribe on Google Podcasts Comments about Stitches:  Class from Toni Lipsey, very entertaining and knowledgeable. Has a new book The Tunisian Crochet Handbook. Fabrics–jelly rolls, fat quarters and other fabrics. Japanese fabrics,  Trends–red, black, grey combinations are in every booth. This is not something that we saw a lot before. Another color trend: orange. Another one but a little less is petal pink, often looking like it was overdyed on a natural colored fiber or with a darker color overwash or glaze over the pink–or maybe that was just something I was drawn to this time.  Feels really safe in the convention center, checked Vax card and ID upon entry, name tag has distance declaration sticker code–hugs ok, elbow bump only, and 6 feet distance please. Crowd was light at the Thursday preview. Hotel lobby bar people are drinking and eating so many fewer masks. Friday's crowd was also light, but there were some crowded booths. Everyone seems so happy to be buying yarn. One vendor said sales were fewer, but the average sale was higher.  Saturday was the busiest market day as usual. But the market was smaller and we had finished looking at the whole thing, plus visiting with people we saw there, within a couple hours of entering.

Liv is back speaking with author of the Medusa novella, Here, the World Entire, Anwen Kya Hayward all about the intricacies and nuances of Medea (Jason and Theseus are dragged, of course).CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Works Referred: Euripides' Medea, Ovid's Heroides (quotes from Harold Isbell translation), Seneca's Medea, and peripherally Apollonios' Argonautika.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.

Brainy thing:  18:37       Behind the Redwood Curtain: 29:19 What We’re Learning From Our Knitting Margaret finished a pair of summer socks:  Top down, 1x1 twist rib cuff, afterthought heel with gusset,  (check out Ariana Hipsagh    gussets in afterthought heel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUyJM2FBH_o Reena Meijer Dress  Knit better Socks blog  http://knitbettersocks.blogspot.com/) The yarn is  Canon Hand Dyed 80 Merino, 10 Cashmere and 10 nylon.by The Amy Lee Show and the colorway is “I will believe that there are unicorns” a part of her January Shakespeare Club and a quote from the Tempest.   She learned a lot from making the first step from Laura Nelkin’s Ducenti Shawl https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ducenti-mkal— a beaded i-cord. Made from in two different but closely coordinated colors, the two skeins of yarn came in Laura Nelkin’s Ducenti Shawl kit,  originally a mystery kit.They are a wonderfully soft single ply Dragonfly Fibers, Pixie yarn in 100 % merino in a mossy green and a variegated dark putty, with hints of a brassy brown and green. But she’s not making the the full shawl as designed by Laura.    She’s using it as the bottom of Eline Oftedal’s Waves Shoulder Cosy https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wave-shoulder-cosy   Catherine shares a free app from Home Depot for matching up colors.   She finds the matches are a tad on the dark side but still thinks it’s a nifty tool.   She found some yarn she’s long been looking for from  Lion Brand gradient stripe in pink for a dog sweater for a dog who looks fierce but isn’t.   She is working on her Dishcloth exchange using cotton she had on hand plus a  ball of lily’s sugar and cream  in white, lime, teal green, and  lavendar.  The pattern is  Vortex 5  by Rebecca Hudson  (Meditative is her Rav name.)      Brainy Thing Margaret reports on recent research on the Placebo effect  — Among the findings are that it works even if people know they are taking a placebo, it works in animals, and it changes an enzyme in the  brain. https://connect.uclahealth.org/2019/03/14/placebo-effect-sugar-pills-as-medicine/   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK513296/ https://www.minnpost.com/second-opinion/2019/03/the-mysterious-and-maddening-placebo-effect-what-we-know-and-dont-know-about-it/ http://programinplacebostudies.org/   Arcata Fairy Festival A new kid-friendly event in Arcata is the Fairy Festival, celebrating its second year and planning for the next. https://www.arcatamainstreet.com/fairy-festival   Give Away Another fun giveaway.  Be the first to request it on the Ravelry thread.     In this episode of Teaching Your Brain to Knit we discuss summer socks, beaded i-cord, the dishcloth exchange anda pink striped yarn for a dog.   We share the latest on the Placebo Effect and report on a new area event, The Arcata Fairy Festival.    

Should I eat butter? This has been a long-debated question. The short answer is yes. Butter is healthy but it all depends on where you get it and how much you eat. Like anything, moderation is key. Butter can add flavor and heighten your dining experience. In our house butter is like its own food group. We use it on popcorn, our fresh beets, different potatoes, when we sauté fresh veggies, and on top of fresh biscuits. You name it butter is on the menu. Butter nutrition   One tablespoon (14 grams) of butter provides the following nutrients (1Trusted Source):Calories: 102Total fat: 11.5 gramsVitamin A: 11% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)Vitamin E: 2% of the RDIVitamin B12: 1% of the RDIVitamin K: 1% of the RDIAlthough butter is high in calories and fat, it contains a variety of important nutrients as well. For example, it’s a good source of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin needed for skin health, immune function, and healthy vision.It also contains vitamin E, which supports heart health and acts as an antioxidant to protect your cells against damage caused by molecules called free radicals.Additionally, butter contains very small amounts of other nutrients, including riboflavin, niacin, calcium, and phosphorus.healthline.com You know it's healthy, but remember it DOES matter where you're getting your butter from. Choose, if possible to get your butter from an organic source. If that isn't possible, why not make your own? I have included the recipe I use every other day when our cow is producing milk. It's easy for beginners and a great opportunity for you to learn a new skill. Ready? Let's get started... How To Make Your Own Butter Items and Ingredients you will need: Your choice of machine.  Kitchen Aid, old fashion hand turner, or a jar with the motor on top. Fresh farm cream or heavy whipping cream from the store. Large spoon. Dishcloth to cover a kitchen aid if that is your choice machine. Salt Saran wrap. Butter mold (optional) Brown sugar (optional) Glass jar to save the buttermilk. Medium-sized bowl. First Step: Pick your machine and fill it only half full of cream! Second Step: Turn your machine on or hand turn it until the cream comes clear to the top, breaks back down and you see yellow clumps of butter.  The buttermilk will be splashing all sides of the jar.  If you are using the kitchen aid, cover it with the dishtowel, so the buttermilk does not splash all over. Third Step: Take your spoon and try to clump or ball the butter up in machine you are using and then scoop it into your bowl. Fourth Step: Dump buttermilk into your jar a place in the fridge, saving it for another time. Fifth Step: Wash out the butter in your bowl by running cold water over it and mixing with your hands.  Repeat this method until the water in the bowl runs clear then drain water out of the bowl and bring to your counter. Sixth Step: Salt using 1tsp to 1Tbls and or use brown sugar for special occasions.  Work the salt or sugar you have put on your butter in with your hands. If you want unsalted, you will skip this step. Seventh Step: Next, place butter in a mold you have purchased or mold it by using your hands.  You are now ready to use it.  Put in a dish, fridge or wrap it in Saran Wrap and freeze it for another day. There you have it; how to make butter.  If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments section and or you can watch my video at the top. If you want to make whip cream, you will stop the machine when the cream has gone all the way to the top, broken down about halfway and has a thick consistency. Add a little sugar at this point, whip a little longer, and you have whip cream. -Heather Earles For more How-To tutorials, here is the link on How to make Sauerkraut
