Episode 5 - The Bard’s Socks
My Knitting Progress
Cara’s Socks (modelled by my hand, as Cara has teeny feet).
Zen Yarn Garden - I’m in the semi-solid sock yarn club.
News
- I am in Vancouver!
- In Audacity, go to Preferences, and choose your microphone. Make sure it isn’t on Built-In Audio. Yes, I feel dumb.
- My Etsy Store! Home of a new generation of stitch markers. (Is that too pretentious? I suppose this is my podcast, so I can talk about myself how I want…) Also home to the iCozy, keep your iPod warm, cozy and protected, all while using recycled materials.
My Travel Knitting…

The Knitator!!
- Knitting is Fun. No Crying Over It.
Etsy Eloquence
- I believe I have mentioned my Etsy store?
Yay Stuff!
- In which I admit my obsession with graph paper.
- And Post-It Notes.
Knitteth Thou?
- Did Shakespeare leave us an encoded message about the type of stockings he wore? Discuss.
- If you haven’t seen it, rent Rome. It’s a great series, plus you’ll learn some history too!
From Antony and Cleopatra, Act II, sc 2:
To hold you in perpetual amity,
To make you brothers, and to knit your hearts
With an unslipping knot, take Antony
Octavia to his wife; whose beauty claims
No worse a husband than the best of men;
Whose virtue and whose general graces speak
That which none else can utter. By this marriage,
All little jealousies, which now seem great,
And all great fears, which now import their dangers,
Would then be nothing: truths would be tales,
Where now half tales be truths: her love to both
Would, each to other and all loves to both,
Draw after her. Pardon what I have spoke;
For ’tis a studied, not a present thought,
By duty ruminated.
Music:
Today’s music is River Driver by Great Big Sea.
As always the theme music is Greensleeves by Lee Harris and the Tijuana Trumpets.
Both pieces are from the Podsafe Music Network.
