I originally bought a bunch of Fixation on clearance to make some striped socks, but after knitting a swatch I decided that I don't like the way it looks for socks. As a result, I have several balls of this yarn waiting to be used so if anyone has seen anything fun made with this stuff, please send me the links.
In other news, I have been working from home for the last three months so I haven't been listening to the iPod much and thus have fallen out of the Podcast loop. Since I started going to the gym again I need some new quality listening material. I have been listening to Knitcast since the beginning, but it seems that a ton of other crafty/knitty podcasts have popped up. Today I downloaded some episodes of Cast-on to listen to while I was working. Cast-On is a fairly new knitting Podcast that was posted to the Lexington snb list and is available as a free subscription thru iTunes. The nine episodes so far include a Halloween special, Q&A's, interviews with other knitting podcasts, lots of music, and tons of silly knitting content. It is definitely worth a listen. After downloading a few episodes I checked out the other Podcasts listed below.

Hmm, I was on her site and was thinking of buying some of those zines, particularly Take Back the Knit. How do you like it? Do I remember correctly that you're in one of them (which one?) Those hand warmers are sweet. For cascade fixation, other than socks I think I've seen a bikini (snb), bra and underwear (knitty) and a nosewarmer (also knitty). I have two balls around, for socks supposedly, but who knows when those will be made?
I wrote an article for the second TBTK which is the one I have. I really like the final product, you can tell that Jae put a ton of work into it. Hopefully, I will be posting my second project from this zine, that is if I can find my Denise needles, later this week. While you are ordering, you might want to grab Vegan Freegan. She sent me a copy and the recipes are great. I am going to place another order for the first TBTK and a few copies of ripe this weekend.
Yeah, Vegan Freegan was one of the ones I was thinking about, too. Are you freegan at all (by the way?) Cause I've been having thoughts about it, though right now, I'm not one.
You know, when I was in college, people I knew were using the word freegan (or something like it, I forget now) to mean that they were vegan, unless it was free, then it was anything goes. But they ended up being called "consumer vegans." I think I'm warming up to the idea of eating free/cheap, though vegan, stuff.
I am freegan, but not a super active one. Yesterday Philip scored some freegan M&M's which is probably the first instance in a long time. I am vegan for environmental reasons first and ethical reasons second so any waste that I can use is better for the world. Of course, I do have limits and rules which are too long for a comment. If you want to know my philiosophy, just email me and I'll explain my views.
