Happy surprise edition!

What I’m Kniting/Spinning
-The Mustard Scarf is DONE!
-Started on a top-down vanilla sock with the guidance of Jasmin the Great.

Ooh Shiny
-Got delayed out of Chicago, ended up getting in about an hour late. Got picked up and we headed out.
-Had dinner that was awesome.
-Went to Stew Leonards - coolest grocery ever
-Meghan used the mom voice on us
-Woke up really early
-Beautiful drive
-Got there early, walked a bit then had to go get the swag boxes for the meet and greet
-Boxes were heavy.
-Huge crowd, apparently free stuff does that.
-Met Guido from “It’s a Purl, Man!”
-Got to see Tammy!!!!!
-Fleece sale.
-Free fleeces. 14 lbs!
-Rav party rocked - met Jess and Casey! OMG.
-Tammy’s a genius and brought marshmallows to roast.
-We were out of the hotel for over 18 hours Saturday. GO GO GO. I was a bobble head in the car. We tried to chat but our thoughts didn’t make sense.
-Sunday was another early day. We got to shop and see everything, met a few more listeners.
-Got there, and we were walking, I looked over on the groundand was like “HEY!” And found $20. So, we ate for free that day.
-Fair food ROCKED: artichoke, pot pie, lamb soup and sausage, cotton candy
-Left the festival about 4 or so, then came back to try and pack the hotel and decompress.
-Up at THREE am today.

Housekeeping!
-My contribution to the swag bag was buttons. They were a shockingly huge hit, and we had EVERYONE asking where we’d gotten them. So, because I had so many requests this weekend, I’m going to make up another batch (they’ll have a different tag line, since those said “Rhinebeck 2009″) and they’ll be available to anyone who makes a $5 donation to the podcast. This will help me cover the button and shipping costs, and then I’ll use the rest of the donations to help pay for hosting and prizes. You can find the donate button on the shownotes page. Those who have already made donations (thanks!) will be shipped a special edition Rhinebeck button in the next week or so.

Episode #14 - I love you guys.

Jackie — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:25:56 +0000

This last week has been an especially rough one for me. I’ve been trying not to touch on the harder parts in the podcast, in fear of bringing you all down. This week I received a few really wonderful notes and reviews, and I cannot thank you all enough for your super kind words. It has honestly made this week a kajillion times better.

In other news, it looks like the podcast was featured in the August issue of Let’s Knit magazine! I haven’t managed to get my hands on a copy (but I am still trying!) but here’s what they had to say:

“A relatively recent addition to the podcast catalogue, KIPing It Real is a whimsical broadcast from across the water. Avid crafter, Design Shark, discusses her inspirations, projects, knitting in public and all of her favourite things.”

Thanks to Witty on Ravelry for taking the time to type that up.

What I’m Kniting/Spinning
-the Herringbone mitts! Feeling like I need to put on the big girl panties and do something interesting for you guys.

Herringbone mitts!

-navajo plied Blue Sky Apple Picking - I am WAY proud of it.

Blue Sky Apple Picking Handspun

Adventures in KIPing

-Cleaning up and de-junking the house. Need to go through all my clothing and decide what to donate or repurpose.
-Catching up on other podcasts, I’m way behind! Thanks so much to Jasmin & Gigi at the Knitmore Girls for their super kind words.
-Saw the new Harry Potter. Disappointed with the lack of knitted items, but I felt like we got a little should out with the inclusion of “I love knitting patterns”
-Dinner and bowling with Erin & Keith. Had an awesome time. I suck at real life bowling.
-Dinner at Bar Louie with Paisley. She gets much love in public.
-Wet dogs get so much energy.
-Running errands and getting paperwork done.
-Got the new myTouch google phone. Love it.
-And best of all, I GOT A JOB OFFER!!!!

Never Ending Queue (With commentary by Paisley, haha)
-Regular Guy Socks by Yarnman
The pattern is what Chuck calls a “basic toe up ribbed sock pattern” - and it’s really nice looking. One thing that I really enjoy about it is how close the ribbing gets to the tip of the toe. I feel like that makes feet look shorter. And the PDF design is faboo.

Flavor Of The Week
-I don’t care if it’s cheesy, I love you guys. You’ve easily gained status as my Flavor of the week.

Episode #11 - Australian Adventure Recap!

Jackie — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:59:42 +0000

To start - THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REVIEWS!!!!! They made my day to get back to that.

What I’m Kniting/Spinning
-Finished my 2nd doughnut on the plane from STL to LA.
-The scarf is FINISHED!!!!!

...just a few days before the due date. :)

-Cast on for my two-tone shrug at the LA airport. Then passed out. Leaving literally just the cast on row.

Adventures in KIPing
-I really didn’t get any KIP comments in Australia. Kind of a bummer. But, I do have three yarn store adventures.
-1st yarn shop: In Brisbane, we walked to a place called Tangled Yarns which is in an area they call “The Valley.”
-2nd shop: Not really just a yarn shop, more of a big box type place called Lincraft. We went to the one in Brisbane by accident and one is Sydney was literally right across the street.
-3rd yarn shop: Morris & Sons, formerly Tapestry Craft - though the sign still says Tapestry Craft and the ‘new’ name is nowhere to be found.

Ooh Shiny
-I think it’s pretty clear that the last 11 days have been quite shiny. I’ve broken the days into sections as well, so I can share my favorite picture from each day. The pictures from the whole trip can be found on my Flickr collection here.
-The first day was actually 2 days long - arrived at 6am, just did sight seeing and wandering.
-The 2nd day we wandered more.
-Day 3 we did media things in the morning. Here’s the Today Show AU interview! Then we went to the koala sanctuary which was hands down the coolest thing in the whole entire world.
-Day 4 was the big working day.
-Day 5 we flew to Sydney. We walked about the city, which was a lot smaller than I expected.
-Day 6 was a Manly Australian adventure.
-Day 7 we went to Darling Harbor and wandered around.
-Day 8 - Visited the Apple store in Sydney. Bought $60 worth of candy. Mostly licorice.
-Day 9 - Headed back to the states. Got recognized at the airport! Day 9 actually lasted about 40 hours. It was the longest Monday ever.

Never Ending Queue
-I got an awesome pattern pamphlet called “Little & Friends” that was created by a resident of Sydney. It’s got 10 little garter stitch buddies that look like quick and fun knits.

Flavor Of The Week
-The Cadbury Whip. Like a milky way, but more delicious caramel.

Episode #9 - Only Half Way Done. But Less Than A Week Away.

Jackie — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:59:55 +0000

What I’m Kniting
-Up until last night, I had not touched the lace scarf in over a week. I’m trying to find a way to bribe myself to work on it… I’ve got 10.5 repeats done, which to my best guess is about half way.

30 Inches!

-Got the yarn and am ready to cast on for the Two Toned Shrug. My newly knitting co-worker and I are doing a knit a long.

Ooh Shiny
-Had a lovely dinner with knitting friend Erin last Tuesday. But I managed to ruin the night by getting quite sick in her neighbor’s yard. Kind of funny now that it’s a week in the past, but yuck. Thought it was fast food that I had for lunch, but it turns out that Barq’s rootbeer has caffeine. And when you haven’t had it for several months, and then you have 44 oz of soda with caffeine, it makes your heart race, chest tight, and then you yuke. In your friend’s neighbor’s yard.
-Wednesday I got Scott from the airport.
-Thursday was packing up the office… It’s so strange to pack up and building and leave after you’ve been there for 9 months… It made it painfully real that I’ll be gone in just a week.

Disassembled office. :(

-Went to see “Away We Go” Thursday night… It was very cute. So much of the movie was us just laughing SO hard because 75% of John Krazinski’s character is just like Scott. I felt it could have ended better… Now is not the time for all this uncertainty in movies.
-Friday was an off day since they’re moving everything to the new building… Took Scott to the airport again, and he’ll be back Saturday night.
-More Aussie plans… I got a 5 pc suitcase set from Kohls and finally chose the underwater camera I thought would be best. I went with the Olympus 550WP. It takes videos well as pictures, so that should be really neat. I’m hoping to test it out tomorrow at my parent’s house.
-Plane reading. Anyone got suggestions?

Never Ending Queue
-Picked up the fall issu e of KnitScene at Borders today:

KnitScene Fall 2009

-Carnaby Pullover - sort of thermal looking with fake buttons.
-Caterpillar-sitich pullover - like the idea, wouldn’t use that texture, but neat. (Not in Ravelry yet)
-Maximum stripe pullover - love the buttons on the shoulder and texture. They have a lot of shoulder buttons in this issue, I love them.
-There are also a few really, really terrible things in there, but I won’t talk about those.

Flavor Of The Week
-Sonic’s Cherry Limeade Chiller - DELISH!

Next week’s episode will be a bit early, as we leave for Australia on Friday. Chances are, it will be 100% rambling, filled with ‘eeps’ and squeals about being excited and plans. But, I still plan on recording, it just may not be exciting, haha.

Episode #8 - Rants, Raves, and So Much Fun.

Jackie — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:38:27 +0000

What I’m Kniting/Spinning
-This darn lace scarf. I’m officially bored. It should knit itself now. This is why I don’t knit scarves.

Adventures in KIPing
-Is replaced with a dog rant. I’m so tired of ignorant people. Nothing disproves a stereotype like a picture of a “bully breed” surrounded by baby chickens:

Ooh Shiny
-The interview went well, I think. I’m hoping to know something by the end of this week…
-My contract got extended until the end of the month! YAY!
-Scott’s been out of town a lot this week. Paisley played with Twister Monday night and Friday night.
-It’s been gorgeous mid-60 degree weather this weekend, and it’s been action packed.
-Went to the state park Friday night and let the dogs swim in the river.

Paisley & Twister At The River

-Had lunch with crafty friends Saturday and did a little craft shopping.
-Heaps of cleaning - laundry, dishes, scrubbing, vacuuming… So domestic.
-Brazilian steak dinner
-Doggie play date with Oreo! Abby is so cute.

Can you spot the two happiest dogs?

Puppy Love

-May have finally perfected the cupcakes. Posing it tomorrow.
-The icing, on the other hand, was a huge fail. Used another new recipe and got it to work OK enough. Newest idea is the best one yet.

Never Ending Queue
-Olive - cute tunic top, maybe not in english or readily available
-Vesper - sub for Olive just in case it’s unfindable, like the idea of the pleats, but I’d remove the pocket
-Monster Chunks - shocking. Another toy.

Flavor Of The Week
-iTunes song of the week. Solid find - Owl City

Adventures in KIPing

KIPing At The Aces Tennis Match

-Kicking myself for not getting Anna Kornikova to hold my knitting!
-People don’t seem to understand why I would knit a doughnut…

Ooh Shiny
-Working hard - contract extended! Deadline projects
- -Tile is grouted and finished!
-Less than 3 weeks until my Australian Adventure!! Making plans, trying to figure out our schedules, looking into a digital recorder to bring with me instead of my microphone, which is a bit bigger than I’d hope to take.
-Getting ready for an interview Monday am!
-Went to see Scott’s dad play at a wine bar Friday night. Got coldstone ice cream too, yum yum.
-Tennis thing at the park - SO HOT AND MUGGY.
-Watched the Ultimate Fighting match at a friend’s… Kind of lame.

Never Ending Queue

First, thanks everyone for listening! I noticed earlier this week that thanks to you all, the KIPing It Real Podcast is number FOURTEEN on iTunes for hobby podcasts!!!

And, you’ll notice a change this week, I’ve conned Scott into writing/performing me a little jingle for the intro, extro (he says is outro, but whatever), and segment splitter. If it’s a bit awkward this week, it’s because I recorded not knowing my jingle was ready, LOL.
