... I finish the scarf I started for Jenny in 2005?
Jenny and Nicole posted Episode 9 yesterday, partially recorded while Jenny and I were in Austin for SXSW....
Episode 09: Spring Sprung Sprang
This week, Jenny tells us about her trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas. We discuss some spring knitting patterns. And Nicole discovers an awesome knitting bag.
Episode 9: Spring Sprung Sprang
In this episode, we do the math! Using non-Euclidean geometry we calculate our stashes, our friend John Polito provides the obvious explanations, we employ some good ol' algebra to make and adapt patterns, and point you to the resources to do the same.

Jenny and Nicole's podcast keeps climbing the charts. It's now in the "Highlights" box in the main Podcasts category. Way to go, ladies! Yea!
I'm pretty psyched, but not the least bit surprised, that my wife Jenny and friend Nicole have started a podcast (about knitting) that has been out about 5 days and is already climbing the iTunes charts, listened to and beloved by more people than read all my own blogs and blogging projects put together, and basically just kicks all kinds of ass. They are so great at all aspects of it -- from the planning, the recording, the editing, the show notes, to just being the kind of people you enjoy listening to for a half hour. If you are into knitting (or even if you're not), I highly (and biasedly) recommend it.
(And, oh yeah, all of these blogs are on TypePad. Jenny and Nic have taken baby steps on Vox, but they're pretty dedicated to TypePad. We may have to cajole them to post over here more often.)
Show us a nice, warm scarf.
Jenny made a bunch of scarves for our friend Roberta's annual holiday craft sale. She called the collection "Derelicte," since several of the pieces reminded her of the seminal work of Jacobim Mugatu. I helped with the names and the price tags. Overall, the sale was a success and everyone moved a lot of merch. See the entire Derelicte 2006 collection below....
Jenny, knitting prodigy, just put up a Flickr set of her "finished objects." I think she undercounted, but most of them are in there. I don't think I've finished 70+ things in my entire life, except meals. What an achiever!
