Sade, Sisqo, and other R&B hit-makers inspire the opening of the show and some embarrassing moments. The underappreciated value of a leisurely drive. Foreign affairs. Annoyingly pronounced surnames. Deep, odd internet stuff and erotica. Pressed-hams are still a hit and the Friendship Butt Picture. Thompson the Tank Engine. The Duck Penalty. Kendall Gill eBay search histories. Brittany stomps loudly, a LOT. McDonald's praise. Brittany gets TOE UP, leaves the show and makes food on the floor. The wheels come off the wagon like a bat out of hell by the end of this ep...

www.knittingpipeline.com will have complete show notes. Quince & Co is the sponsor of this episode. www.quinceandco.com Thanks to all who have written. Thank you to The Knitmore Girls for mentioning my podcast on their popular show. Talithia suggested a unusual place to view wildlife. "There are flowers everywhere for those who bother to look." Henri Matisse. Nature Notes: We have just experienced the snowiest winter on record for our area. March is our transition month from winter to spring. Bird and animal sightings are plentiful because the woods are bare and animals are moving. We Like March is a poem by Emily Dickinson. Blethering Room: I share about two different places: The Faroe Islands/Faroe (Scandinavian) and Fair Isle (British). Tip from Pipeliner Tea aka Teacosy. Store small bits of stash in a big glass jar. Beautiful and practical! I frogged a sock that I started last June. The pattern was from Toe-Up! By Chrissy Gardiner. I started a new pair of socks from The Little Box of Socks. Two techniques: German Twisted Cast-On and Eliminating the Pig's Eye. I review The Little Box of Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott and Kollage DPN's. Irish Lamentaton (English Country Dance) by Musica Pacifica. Dancing in the Isles. www.magnatune.com
