Jenny and Nicole talk across continents about what they are knitting and what they want to be knitting. Jenny keeps busting out the sweaters and Nic has an unexpected Spanish FO. Sewing conundrums are contemplated. At the end Adrian and Nic chat about his knitting, other hobbies, and Granada, Spain.

Jenny is a kid sweater making machine. Nicole stalls out on sweaters and works on some small projects to break through her knitter's block. We are joined by Adrian, producer and Stash and Burn progeny. Interested in taking the next step in your sewing--Pants No. 1 are well within your abilities or try a t-shirt, no serger required! Jenny talks about soap-making and we start to go off the rails with the appearance of another guest star.

Episode 169:Rhinebeck!

After two years away, we are back, baby! We can't catch you up on all that we have done during our absence so we dive right back in. A few weeks ago, we went to Rhinebeck to go to the New York Sheep & Wool Festival. We met a few friends there, pet some sheep, and bought some wool. Many thanks to our friend, Chris, who adventured to New York with us, and to Nicole's kid, Adrian, who served as a producer on this episode!

  • Jenny Check
    Jenny learned to knit in 2005 and now knits to the exclusion of her personal hygiene. Her husband wonders how long this "knit from your stash" charade will continue.
  • Nicole
    Nicole (aka Big Sister) is a librarian who knits. Or maybe a knitter who is a librarian. When she's not knitting on the bus or in front of the TV or at lunch or when chatting with friends, she is, well, that's pretty much it. Knitting.
