Stretching out the yarn

September 5th, 2008 by Ivy

In this episode I talk about how to make the most of the yarn you have when knitting a sweater.

There is a new blog you might be interested in, called Knitting Scholar, a review site for knitting books, and possibly spinning books and some magazines. It looks really good. It’s at http://knittingscholar.com/ Go give it a look.

I promised Donna a link to Beyond Stitch and Bitch.

I discuss the whole Jesus/Messiah issue and have the realization that the Tenach never told us to worship the Messiah.

Counting Rows

August 1st, 2008 by Ivy

This week I give you an update on my various projects.  I promised a short video on mirrored increases, and it’s already up.  I also talk about how to count rows and my disagreement with how it is normally done.

Finally, I mention Jane’s rather excellent blog post about the Messiah and how that relates to what she calls the phases of being a Christian.

How soon the end?

July 25th, 2008 by Ivy

This is a weird episode.  I look at a few pointers and signs and try to divine how soon the messiah will come.  I think it’s soon, but so has everyone who has tried to predict this since the time of Issiah.
