    Administrative stuff:

    • And then Mom got Covid! Yay paxlovid! 

    • Covid/Paxlovid Rebound

    • Ads. Added the bumper ads back to the beginning and end of the podcast- pulling in income from other industries to help put income into ours. 

    • Also! We’ve joined the Mood Affilliate program. No cost to you, but some cash from your purchases comes our way if you click one of our links.

    • Ads: if you’re a small business (in our industry, related to this), and you’re struggling and could use some ads, message me and we’ll give you access to our audience, on the house. 

      • If your politics include voting for someone who would have mom’s citizenship stripped, and block us from visiting our family in Iran, we will not be airing (or comping) ads for your business, of course.

    Ready for some retail therapy with a side of laughter and community? Look no further than Erin.Lane's monthly live sales! Each sale features a fresh theme (think whimsical unicorns, sassy llamas, you name it!), and you'll be the first to snag brand spankin' new fabrics. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite bag too.

        Have you ever had to frog because you forgot a step several rows back? Or lost your spot because you dropped your magnet board or lost track with your highlighter tape? Instead of wrestling with paper, use the knitCompanion app. It keeps you on track so you can knit more and frog less. knitCompanion works with ALL your patterns and is available for Apple, Android, and Kindle Fire Devices

    When knitting attacks:(33:25)

    Gigi: Meadowlands #11 : ball of yarn fell apart. Horrendous yarn barf.  Next meadowlands is going in a ziplock bag, with one end going around, and the center pull section through a snipped hole in the bottom of the bag .

    Gigi: picked up too many stitches for G heel flap.  It annoyed me, it didn’t want to get done . Ripped back, picked up the correct amount of stitches, back in business. Not annoyed at it anymore 

    Gigi: jelly roll socks :arch ribbing. Missed changing colors at one spot. 

    Lazer sheep sparkle yarn. Decided to frog it, will knit it on size 1 needles 

    Jasmin: Made one sleeve with the correct math. Made the second sleeve doing the reverse (not paying attention to the directions), and it was huuuuuuuge. Ripped, reknit.
