Lime & Violet! We're not in Kansas anymore, searching for shoes.

On The Needles
Violet checked out a new shop, What's Needlin' Ewe, and came out with two sweaters worth of Berroco Vintage Wool. She also picked up Norah Gaughan, Vol 5. Feeling the love for Heron and Cormorant (Rav links). And she's working on Fylingdales sweater from A Fine Fleece. She finished her Checkerboard Lace scarf and her Aimee Made Me Do It shrug (aka Spirit of Autumn Shrug)
Lime is still working on the Skinny Empire sweater - now she's got another sweater in the wings (28thirty) so there is motivation to get it done!

Episode 94 - The One With Content

Violet is back with the Lime this time for another hour of insanity. Things aren't unpacked yet, so the microphone is hidden away, hence the quality of this episode. But be sure to know that there is content in this one! Works in progress (sweaters galore), finished objects (not one, but two!), announcements, mail call, books (I totally just typed "boobs" three times), and much much more.

Music is "Prime Meridian" by Sarah Donner.

I think it was cut out, but I did manage to get a picture of my gay's "nipples" to share with you all.

Because I love you.



Ahem.

Episode 93 - Tastes Like Chicken

The Violet is back, and this time she brings out the men folk.

Just a short episode this time around, but it's a good one. Recorded in the Gate City Yarns in Greensboro, NC. Yarn, works in progress, doggies, and actual yarn porn in the bathroom. It's apparently sticky. I don't think I want to know.

Music is "The Legend of the One Honest Man" by Uphill.

Episode 92 - There is No I in Team

Once again, this episode was recorded a little while ago, July 11th to be precise, but it's just getting up now. Sorry!

While Miss V was in NC she recorded with the darling Aimee (FunFairieGirl). They got up to lots of crazy. There are penises, rules for dating, a dog, yarn, knitting, boys, pirates at fast food stores, Miss V also talks about the Mountain Sole project, and lots more. You guys asked for a longer episode, and that's what you got. Sorry if this one takes for ever to download, but it's over 2 hours long.

Music is Jerry Forney "Women, Women, Women".

Episode 91 - Awwww. How Cute

I'm all moved now, and finally sat down to edit for the first time since I got this episode which was.... before I moved. Sorry folks! Crazy busy over here. On the up side I do have kick ass job and a great room in a house filled with girls who adore my knitting. I just need to find me a man now. ;)

This episode was recorded back in the end of June, so things might be a touch out of date. Once again, sorry folks! There is boy talk, oh the boy talk. Yarn Porn. Stalking by Raccoons and Lizards. And a whole lot else. What more (or less) would you expect?!
