It got me thinking that I really want to start something with my Legacy Fiber Artz minis from previous year advents. Maybe a Granny Stripe blanket? Or perhaps another Recollections crochet blanket. I made one in the summer of 2022 (check out my Ravelry Project Page). It uses fingering weight yarn held triple and treble crochets. You work each row right to left and cut each time. between each set of clusters you use a main color. Debating using Fibernymph 10g minis from last year's advent for those rows (notes say it used- about 8g per row but that's held triple which might just be too annoying). I'm debating making a smaller blanket that will live on the backseat of my car, draped over. Mostly for the pop of color with my gray interior but I bet the kids would use it when they're back there. I'd also like to make a crocheted granny square tank top for the summer so I could potentially use some of my minis for that. Do you have any ideas for me?   From the Armchair   The Wandering Purl YouTube channel- I have a Gilmore Girls sock sized bag from Bethany and I know lots of you are fans of her, but I didn't realize she had a channel!  Enjoying her content, check it out. White Lotus- Season 3: it was a slow burn of a season with some seriously cringy content but I loved how the finale came together.   Note: Some links are listed as Amazon Affiliate Links.

Eric unveils his latest long-term musical stunt—an elaborate plot to rig his Spotify Wrapped.

This rigged Wrapped is going to be honest manipulation.Real-Life Streets of Rage: After surviving a cheer competition alone, Eric invents a new game: How to navigate large crowds with as little human interaction as possible.Mascot Mayhem: Somehow, it all ends with the boys planning a fake high school, complete with school spirit and Snow Lions.An episode full of completely unnecessary dedication, 90s nostalgia, and two grown men who really just want to make each other laugh.

Everyone knows Captain Hook got swallowed by the crocodile at the end of Peter Pan. But what this movie presupposes is…maybe he didn't? Let us go back to a time when the coolest thing a kid could have was a clubhouse that looked like a skatepark…when the worst thing a dad could do was own a cell phone…and when the craziest thing a filmmaker could do was agree to make a movie that started off as a child's drawing. Lin-Manuel Miranda - most famous for starring as Captain Hook in his sixth grade production of Peter Pan - joins us on a trip to Neverland as we unpack Spielberg's 1991 fantasia Hook.

What if the key to success isn't about setting goals and working harder but about how you use your brain? In this episode, I talk with Liam Naden, a speaker, teacher, writer, and researcher who went from millionaire to homeless before discovering the true reason we succeed or fail in life. Creator of the Four-Part Brain Model and Brain Rebalancing, Liam shares how our brain is biologically designed to ensure we thrive—if we use it correctly. He also hosts Let Yourself Off the Hook, where he helps people unlock their natural ability to live effortlessly and successfully.Some key highlights we explored are:- The eye-opening moment that changed Liam's perspective on life and success.- Why trying to control life often leads to struggle—and what to do instead.- How the Four-Part Brain Model explains our potential for creativity, intuition, and fulfillment.- The real reason humans struggle while other species thrive naturally.- The power of living in the present and trusting your brain to guide you.Liam and I dive into the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild his life and discover a new way of thriving. We explore how ancient wisdom, neuroscience, and personal experience all point to the same truth—our brain already knows how to lead us to success. If you've ever felt stuck or overwhelmed by trying to control your future, this conversation might help you rethink everything you thought you knew about life, purpose, and fulfillment.To connect with Liam go to:https://www.liamnaden.com/https://www.facebook.com/liamnadenfanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/liamnaden/https://www.instagram.com/liamnaden/https://www.youtube.com/c/LiamNadenhttps://www.pinterest.co.uk/liamnaden/_created/https://twitter.com/LiamNaden https://www.tiktok.com/@liamnaden We'd appreciate a review on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify.

We sat with Fred and Seb from HOOKÉ to chat all about a new project and documentary, Scale of Change. This episode was recorded LIVE from the Toronto Sports Show, right in the YETI booth. We got to hear from Seb, a chef, hunter and angler about his outdoor life, and speak to Fred Campbell about Scale of Change... In the upcoming documentary Scale of Change, we explore how individual actions, no matter how small, can lead to monumental transformations for the Atlantic salmon. One person restores a river system. Another removes a dam. Each action is a drop in the bucket, but together, those drops fill it—creating a ripple effect of change that, while not always immediately visible, holds the power to shape the future.

(free crochet pattern on Ravelry). Yarn has a lot of twist, got all tangly and we stayed after to untangle it together while other cast members performed on stage. On the first night of rehearsal one of my cast-mates asked about my knitting and through that conversation we figured out we've worked together before. She was the choreographer when I was in a production of Crazy for You at a local community college when I was in high school. I wore my Aurealis sweater (Ravelry Project Page) one night to music rehearsal and my friend Deana complimented it and I told her I knit it! Laura's sock drawer! How gorgeous is this?   In My Travels Vegas trip for BOSS Reseller Remix & FearLESS Living Fund 2025 Awards We gave away 2 $5,000 scholarships Mom's friend Crystal got a fearless tattoo on her arm. We enjoyed visiting the Sphere to see the Postcards from Earth documentary. We checked out the Bellagio Conservatory for their beautiful display of Easter decor/flowers. Knitting at craps table with Jeff. The manager told me he doesn't see many firsts anymore but I was the first person he'd ever seen knitting in a casino before. He came back a few minutes later asking what I was making- definitely intrigued. It took until the last day- walking through New York New York to find Wizard of Oz slots Mom loved best. It was obviously a bittersweet trip. Ryan Wilson said it best when he said before talking about 2 winners- in some ways this is the most important year because its the first one without Mom and we're still doing it. If you want to see the awards presentation, here's a link to video on my YouTube channel.   Boston Public Market Fiber Fest- Sunday March 23 from 10a-5p.

Have you heard of it?   Ask Me Anything Instagram- Knitbakecook- Do you ever have crafting slumps? If so, how do you overcome them? Yes! Sometimes it helps just to lean into that, don't pressure yourself and then lean back in when you get the urge. More often, what works best is to start something new (or pick back up something that is exciting you). Ideally something small like a hat or a toy so you get that dopamine hit of finishing something fun to get those creative juices flowing. Search your Ravelry favorite or queue, browse Instagram or Pinterest and let yourself day dream a little. Creative time should be fun so find the fun and you'll be excited to get back into things. Instagram- ndoyal- When are you coming to the PNW?! I am planning to go to Flock in August. Instagram- nukerklein- Have you been or are you planning to go to VT Sheep & Wool in the fall?

Baseball is the quintessential American sport.  Its long history dates back to the mid-19th century.  But the sport has had a fractious history when it came to race relations.  Despite quite a large number of African Americans playing in various leagues along-side white players in the early years of the sport, by the turn of the 20th century, complete segregation took hold.  A number of quote, Negro leagues were formed to allow for African Americans to play the sport, but various factors caused most of them to fail.  Players faced serious discrimination and some stadiums refused to let black teams play at their facilities.It all changed in 1920, when Rube Foster launched the Negro National League. Reformulated several times with new leagues and owners, Negro League baseball enjoyed periods of success in the early 1920s and again after the Great Depression. However, Jackie Robinson's integration of baseball in 1947 prompted a slow but irreversible influx of talent to the major leagues, and the remaining Negro League teams mostly folded by the 1960s.  Middle Tennessee fielded a number of great African American baseball players and Nashville hosted several Negro League teams.  Including the Villians, the Black Vols, the Elite Giants, and the Stars.On December 16, 2020, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred declared that the seven historic Negro leagues would be recognized as official major leagues, with their players' records and statistics counted in baseball's record books.Hosts Tom Price and Jo Ann McClellan speak to author Dr. Harriet Kimbro-Hamilton, author of several books and articles on women's sports and Negro League baseball including “Daddy's Scrapbook: Henry Kimbro of the Negro Baseball League, A Daughter's Perspective,” which she published in 2015.  In 2017, Dr. Kimbro-Hamilton was inducted into the Fisk University Sports Hall of Fame.

Many people still believe that the Reconquista was an 800-year war to reconquer Spain from the Muslims, but that view is wrong and outdated. In episode 24 I explain what the Reconquista is and how the discourses of reconquests have evolved over time and across different regions of the Iberian Peninsula.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 134 - Nathan Crowley - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Nathan Crowley (WICKED, DUNKIRK, INTERSTELLAR). After growing up in England, Nathan's dreams of selling secondhand sports cars in LA were cut short after a run in with set designer and fellow countryman Joe Hodges at a bar outside Paramount, and we learn how Nathan dove headfirst into the art department after assisting Joe on HOOK. Nathan later shares how he made the jump to heading the department himself, and we discuss his approach to production design throughout the episode. We uncover the reasoning behind the aesthetic choices of DUNKIRK, and Nathan shares how he accounted for the practicalities of filmmaking during a globetrotting location scout to help realize the vision of INTERSTELLAR. In the back half of the episode, we discuss Nathan's recent work on WICKED, and he shares what attracted him to the film and what scared him about designing one of the most well-known worlds in the American imagination, and he reveals how Donna Langley, the head of the studio, helped convince production to plant millions of tulips for the film. Plus, Nathan shares a key lesson he learned while working with director Michael Mann about following his instincts. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Today, we unpack the book "Hooked" by Nir Eyal.In this book profile, we explore the science behind habit-forming products and how companies design digital experiences that keep us coming back again and again. Charles breaks down Eyal's powerful HOOK model—a four-step process of triggers, actions, variable rewards, and investments that explains why we can't seem to put our phones down. Through practical examples from apps and services we use daily, the episode reveals how businesses move beyond mere engagement to create genuine user habits.Key topics include:• The four benefits of habits for companies - including increased customer lifetime value, pricing flexibility, supercharged word-of-mouth growth, and competitive moats• External vs. internal triggers - how notifications, emotions, and psychological states initiate habitual behaviors• The action phase - why reducing effort is more effective than increasing motivation• Variable rewards - the unpredictable payoffs that keep us coming back and the three types: tribe (social validation), hunt (information seeking), and self (personal achievement)• The investment phase - how user contributions of time, data, content, and effort lock in future engagementDiscover the psychology behind your digital habits and how to maintain control in a world designed to capture your attention.Hooked Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hooked-How-Build-Habit-Forming-Products/dp/1591847788-Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.com Blog: https://blog.ims-online.com/ Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesagood/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:20) Four Key Benefits of Habits for Companies(04:00) Understanding Triggers - External vs. Internal(07:40) The Action Phase - Simplicity Drives Engagement(10:00) Variable Rewards - Why Uncertainty Keeps Us Hooked(13:40) The Investment Phase - User Commitment and Stored Value(17:20) Conclusion
