Most productive crafter goes to Vivian this time around. Her Sock Arms sweater is finally off the needles, plus she’s already started her next fingering weight sweater! Alyson has more excuses than projects, but one of her FOs is in celebration of her first pattern on Ravelry being available to download as a PDF. Swish! Stay tuned for our Nerdtastic segment too where we discuss Asian (North) American film and TV. Buzzfeed Quiz: https://bzfd.it/2QeQ6d9 Engi Sweater: https://bit.ly/2Md3XPf Off Your

Together again! Together again! We took a short break in our adventures, galavanting around Scotland to record a special video episode... because we're together again! All this vacationing means Vivian has had loads of time to knit knit knit, but her Sock Arms sweater is still on the needles! Alyson, meanwhile has lots of new WIPs to talk about- a shawl, a market bag, and a cushion. Plus we have lots of chat about what we've been getting up to.

We'll call this one a "curated" episode. It's short, but sweet, and full of accomplishments. Alyson has successfully tried her hand at intarsia crochet, with the not so insubstantial help from Fay's new Stiallach Bag Collection pattern. And both Vivian and Alyson have exciting FOs! Alyson's has been long in the works, while Vivian's is one you may have forgotten about.

If we know anything, it is that Vivian will make multiple versions of patterns she likes. Also our cats love a cameo. Vivian has finished her second pair of Fiddlehead Mittens (featuring a Sushi cat cameo). And she's working on her Wool and the Gang socks which are cool, but not going quite to plan. Also not going quite to plan, Alyson's Pleated Cardigan... oh dear.

Slow but steady wins the race (maybe). Both Vivian and Alyson are taking that philosophy to heart, each with small projects underway for the KALCAL: hot water bottle cover for Alyson and dish towel for Vivian. In other news, Alyson is grumbling about both her tank top and her sweater, but don’t worry she still loves her makes.

We haven't gotten quite as much knitting and crocheting as we would have liked. Vivian has been hanging about at home with 2 of 4 daughters and Alyson's has been ignoring everything except her current read, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante. But we're revisiting lots of projects you might already be familiar with. Alyson's blanket and Blurre shawl, and Vivian's Bubbly sweater and Korra hat. Thanks for tuning in!

Things to giggle about in this episode: Minions, husbands in craft stores, and sperm. As @lisa_raspberrycrochet pointed out, a common project theme this week is short rows. Vivian is having fun with short rows and Alyson is despairing over short rows. Expect many more short row hats in Vivian’s future because she bought Woolly Wormhead’s Elemental ebook.

The Edinburgh Yarn Festival is over, but we're both riding the EYF high and knitting and crocheting up a storm.

This one’s a real doozy, folks! We’re chatting all about the Edinburgh Yarn Festival in this episode. Of course, we have a lot of new yarn and goodies to show you, but it’s not all acquisitions.

2018/03/06

We're together again, this time in New Hampshire for a short episode to kick off the month. Vivian has another "experiment" to show off, but Alyson is starting to insist that these aren't experiments, they're bonafide designs. This time it's a colorful infinity scarf. Alyson has finished her Wisteria Trellis shawl for the Blacker Yarns PodKAL, and with plenty of time to spare. You can subscribe to our show on iTunes and YouTube.

A virtual high five to whoever can get the title reference before listening to the show! *Call me, beep me, if you want to reach me* The Ultra Violet KCAL is winding down, but there's still time to submit your FOs to the Ravelry thread. Both of us have finished our KCAL projects, although Vivian has done three to Alyson's one. Alyson's Carloway Cowl and Vivian's Fiddlehead Mittens both feature color work, but someone's color work is much more impressive than the other! (*cough* Vivian *cough*)

2018/01/25

It's a special reunion video episode! We're both in London, Vivian to see Hamilton the musical, and Alyson to see Vivian. All of our WIPs have travelled with us so you all can see what we're working on (a lot) and we also made a pilgrimage to Loop to squish all the yarn. We love seeing what everyone is knitting and crocheting for the Ultra Violet KCAL which is still going on until March 1st!

Despite living in Scotland, Alyson has not picked up much Scots, despite her excellent results in the Scots themed Buzzfeed quiz. Can anyone tell us what a gabfu o glaur is?? Vivian has been churning out hats like it's her job and Alyson is still contemplating crocheted socks. Also, by the way, we have very wide feet. Here's hoping Rohn Strong can help Alyson crochet correctly proportioned socks. Buzzfeed Quiz: Can You Translate The Scots Version Of Harry Potter? WIP Projects Alyson Kreisel

Do you ever get that project where no matter what you do, the stitch count just will not cooperate? That’s the theme of Alyson’s crocheting thoughts this episode. The Kreisel Fingerless Gloves are on the hook, but driving her mad, and Vivian has some thoughts on just freaking fudging it. Plus, Vivian has finished her gorgeous Winterly Sweater!
