  • KnitChat Podcast, Episode 1, a beginning!

    Date: 2008.01.13 | Category: Knitting Without Needles | Response: 5

    Well I have managed to  upload the podcast recording though it was not without it’s troubles as you will hear! ! 

    I have posted it on TalkShoe, which is actually a talkcast website.  Just what is a talkcast you ask? It is basically an online call in ‘radio’ type show. So you can call in from your regular phone, if you have a headset on your computer you can use Skype or other VoIP (voice over internet program) or TalkShoe has it’s own ShoePhone for this purpose! Or if you don’t want to do all that you can IM me to!

    I will have details as soon as I work out a few bugs, and if nessesary I will move to a different hosting website, though I would rather not, as TalkShoe had the time slots I want available.

    I will be looking for a few victims  er… volunteers to help me out by calling in to the show in the next few weeks. So if you are interested in helping me learn the ropes let me know! Leave me acomment or email me at Denise at KnitChat dot com

    Well without futher adieu you can listen to the podcast here:

    KnitChat Episode 1: A Beginning.

    Or you can always click on the lovely little widget on my sidebar! Which will also tell you when I am on a live call! The widget will also let you know if this current issue is up yet, as it might take a little longer for it to post! Sorry if you hit a delay, I really think it will actually be easier when this is a live broad cast rather than a recorded one!

    My Mother saw the last photo and asked if I was knitting on a tie organizer.. hmm.. no.. but not a bad Idea! Thanks!

  • Saturday Slump?

    Date: 2008.01.12 | Category: Knitting Without Needles | Response: 6

    The weather was good so we got outside and raked up some leaves..that didn’t get done due to early snow this fall.

    During the day the kitchen got found again, and hey the crevices of the couch have been emptied. Maybe not such a slump after all. There has been no knitting so perhaps a slump on that front.

    Here is a strange object I was working on last night though!

    Just what is that? What do you reckon? Here is another view…

    Send me your guesses in the comments .. I wanna see what you think!

    Anyway.. I am working, more dreaming and scheming about a podcast /talkcast and tomorrow I hope to make it real.. I will have details here tomorrow, and hopefully this will turn out to be a fun great new thing here at Knitting Without Needles!!

  • Finished Friday?

    Date: 2008.01.11 | Category: Knitting Without Needles | Response: 1

    OK really no knitting has been going on this week! Except for that little stitch trial, and some knitting at a swatch party at Yarnia on Wednesday night.
    Instead this is what got finished!

    T is for Trespass (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
    I will give a review of it and a knitting book next Thursday.. lets just say for now it’s been a while since I had the experience of looking up after finishing a chapter and realizing it was 1 a.m.! oops!!

    And it looks like someone else finished something!!Things I Learned From Knitting (Whether I Wanted To or Not) by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee!

    But it seems the publisher isn’t finished yet.. but you can preorder it! No date given for release yet!

  • It’s Official!?

    I’ve become a ‘soccer mom’, or have I?

    Today Azia went to her first ice skating lesson!  She did pretty well! And she liked it! So looks like we will stick out the session and see what happens!

    She did fall down and hurt her hand. So she has been putting ice on it. I didn’t see the fall so I can’t tell how much it really got hurt, and how much it is just ‘Azia’.

    I got the chance to play with yarn trying to get this stitch on the loom, while I waited for her. So it all worked out well! Well the stitch isn’t quite there yet..

    DSCF1586

    It’ll help when my yarn and loom gauge are better matched!

    Next week back to Bookish Thursday (though I think I will start calling it Thoughtful Thursday!) I am in the middle of a book and I should definitely be done next week!
