Brainy Thing: 13:19 Behind the Redwood Curtain: We modify our podcast a bit this podcast as we synthesize and review two years of our podcasting episodes. What We’ve Learned from Our Knitting (and Crochet) Catherine and Margaret talk what they’ve learned from their knitting over the past two years. Margaret has learned about her ADD with knitting and how she needs variety. Catherine has learned that she needs two projects — one a simple carry-around project and another one that challenges her. Catherine mentions that she knit the Harmonia’s Ring Cowl (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/harmonias-rings-cowl) by Sivia Harding but although she loves it, she can’t wear it because she knit it out of wool and she’s sensitive about it. Brainy Thing: Margaret and Catherine review some of the most notable (for them) topics they’ve covered in the Brainy segment over the past two years. For Margaret, they include Open Mindset (Episode 1), Flow (Episode 2 and 3), Betsan Corkhill (Episode 9), and Novelty. For Catherine the the Open Mindset (Episode 1), Focus (Episodes 2, 3, 6), Flow (Episode 2 and 3) and Novelty (Episode 16.) Behind the Redwood Curtain: Margaret was inspired to create this segment by Paula or Prairie Piper’s (http://www.ravelry.com/people/PrairiePiper) Nature Notes on the Knitting Pipeline Podcast (http://www.ravelry.com/groups/knitting-pipeline) . One place in the area that stands out for Margaret is Table Bluff discussed in Episode 7 and for Catherine the lowly but resilient banana slug in episode 3. Knitting Tip: This segment has been the most challenging for Margaret and Catherine is the Knitting Tip and they are grateful to readers who post their tips on the Knitting Tip thread on Ravelry. One of the recent tips most helpful for Margaret was the the cd case converted to a bead holder submitted by Knitty Barb from Two Knit Lit Chicks podcast (http://www.ravelry.com/groups/2-knit-lit-chicks-podcast). A Little Podcast Business: Catherine and Margaret are both grateful for their listeners and for those who communicate via the Ravelry Group.

Pipeliner Notes I read a note from Karin ("miterwriter" on Ravelry). A little brown bat has been living on a light fixture in their garage for almost 15 years! A wonderful story of wild animals and humans coexisting peacefully. Note on last week’s Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal: it is a good idea to refrigerate any leftovers. Winners of J-Knit apps have been contacted. Thank you, Bronwyn! Nature Notes Bob joins me for Nature Notes, but only for a short time because he was grading papers. See show notes for links to bird feeder cleaning information. The one red leaf, the last of its clan, That dances as often as dance it can, Hanging so light, and hanging so high, On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge Nellie by Donna Higgins: Update on the Crochet flower closure. I watched You Tube videos and managed to crochet the flowers by myself! (Charr was out of town.) My tutorial on attaching the crochet closures is on You Tube and the show blog. www.knittingpipeline.com Finished Projects: Piper’s Fancy My own design. A crescent shawl with a lace border. Nubby Noro Mittens by Annie’s Woolens Love the pattern as the texture adds interest without being too fussy. Every other round is a plain round so it is easy to see where you are in the pattern. Afterthought Heel Socks by Laura Linneman In The Pipeline Annabel Babe Cardigan by Carrie Bostick Hoge My Ultimate Rip Van Winkle—will share later. A Ravelry Note: A new feature on Ravelry is that if you have your yarn stashed and you use stash yarn for a project then a little thumbnail photo of the yarn will appear in your project notes. It’s tiny but it is there! The Blethering Room Registration is in progress for the Knitting Pipeline Retreat March 2-3, 2012 Washington IL $50 for Fri night and all day Sat. $40 for Sat only See show notes for registration information. www.knittingpipeline.com Rip Van Winkle Challenge Go through your Ravelry queue to find a project that has been asleep for a long time. A thread will go up on the Knitting Pipeline Podcast group on Ravelry where you can post photos of your finished projects. High Note: Better Homes and Gardens Magazine is not as traditional as it used to be. I enjoy it. Inexpensive subscription and you get free digital editions with paid subscription! More knitting magazines should do this because knitting from a magazine is for me somewhat tedious. Check out a new video cast: Stockinette Zombies. Music: One Morning in May from Foreignlander by Lydia McCauley. Have a great week, haste ye back, and hold your knitting close.
