BUTLER :https://www.octaviabutler.com/theauthorAt the time of her death, interest in her books was beginning to rise, and in recent years, sales of her books have increased enormously as the issues she addressed in her Afro-Futuristic, feminist novels and short fiction have only become more relevant.About the Book: Fledgling is the story of an apparently young girl with amnesia whose alarmingly inhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: (spoiler add air horn) She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted—and still wants—to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human. https://www.octaviabutler.com/About our guest: Dyke Michaels is an Indianapolis based Comedian and Podcaster.

You can also use a project bag or stitch marker by a podcaster! The design, yarn/fiber and/or project bag must be from a knitting/crochet/fiber podcaster. (Not all 3, just one of those to qualify). Spinning also counts, just make sure it’s a finished product. Use the chatter thread for discussion. Make suggestions.

Loops and use a project bag by thefatsquirrel, you can enter that project into the FO thread 3 separate times, just link to each podcaster seperately in each post. A note about project bags: a project bag may only be entered into the contest one time for an entry.

This episode is sponsored by Infinite Twist and Fix-a-Stitch! Knitting Segments Show-Ready Knits Pure Joy by Joji Locatelli I bought the Argentine yarn from Pura Hilados This brings my Stash Dash total to 1, 124 yards or 1027.8 meters. I became curious about why some shawl patterns use a garter tab for the starting point, so I did a little research. Check out this blog post at Kelbourne Woolens about garter tabs. This got me to thinking: how have I gotten away this long without doing a garter tab? What is something in knitting that you can't believe you have never done before? Join in the discussion on the Episode 54 thread on Ravelry! Stash Dash is a Summer KAL hosted by the Knit Girllls video podcast! Knits in Rehearsal Worsted Boxy by Joji Locatelli Yarn is Miss Babs Yowza in Oyster Thank goodness for my Strauch Ball Winder!

Infinite Twist has teamed up with Jan Hamby from the TwinSet Designs Podcast to create a stunning gradient kit for Jan's latest shawl design, Gradient Angles. Using the same foundation as a mitered square, this delightful shawl flies off the needles!" The prize: A Gradient Angles kit, including Jan's pattern, all the hand-dyed yarn you'll need to complete the project, a bamboo circular needle, stitch markers, yarn needle, two-color pattern marking pencil, and a handy gauge card. Enter "PalKal" as your secret code and get a free pair of 50 gram miniskeins with your order! Auditioning Knits I am thinking about casting on the Solaris Shawl by Melanie Berg with my Pal Kal Mini Kit from One Twisted Tree. By the way, if you like Melanie Berg then stay tuned for a fun KAL. Also will be casting on some socks with my Twist Fiber Studio Fairview Fingering Yarn that I purchased last fall. Not sure about the pattern, but likely something from Susie White of the Prairie Girls Knit and Spin podcast. I will house this project in a Fat Squirrel bag which was gifted to me by Sarah Shoo of the Cultivate and Create podcast.

The show was held at the Newmark Theater inside Antoinette Hartfield Hall, Portland Center for Performing Arts, Portland, OR. Featured Performers include Jugglemania’s Rhys Thomas, aerialist Kyoko Uchida, and balance performer Brittany Walsh from Circus Artemis, music by Shoehorn, also acts by Curtis Carlyle, Rob Brown, and a laser show from Laseronics. The show was sponsored by Vernier Software. Lasers sponsored by American Physical Society LASERFEST project. Special thanks to the AAPT and The University of Oregon Dept. of Physics. Enjoy the show and perhaps we can pique your interest in physics!
The point at which they knew they wanted to act was one of the first things discussed in our conversation with David Alan Grier, Judith Light and Condola Rashad. They also talked about the research they do when approaching a new role; interacting with, and reacting to, the audience; how they handle reviews; and their process and passion for the work they do.
Our panel of stage performers -- Helen Carey, Elizabeth Franz, Jayne Houdyshell and Zeljko Ivanek -- discuss their roles as featured actors and actresses, the range of work available to them, how they become their characters, dealing with stage fright and forgetting their lines, the audition process, performing in regional theater and how they prepare for each evening's performance.
