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.
-Flight delays. Then I got bumped from my flight. So much for my get in early and go day.
-You can thank Delta’s overbooking for this podcast recording, as otherwise I’m not sure when I’d have time to record in the next few days.
-Summary: Had a super awesome time. I got to do and see literally everything that I wanted to, made out like a bandit, and am the happiest girl in the world right now, even after being stuck in the airport for 5 extra hours.
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.
Posted by Jackie in Show Notes on September 2nd, 2009
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.

Adventures in KIPing
-Knitting at the post office, waiting to get a PO box… Hilarity ensues.
Ooh Shiny
-Crossing my fingers to hear back from anyone about a job
-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.
