At The Kitchen Table

Purchasing the theme song

I've had an inquiry about linking to the theme song for At the Kitchen Table.  It's such a great song!  Here is a link to Ayla Brook's Myspace page where you can purchase that song or his whole album.

Episode 21--A baby has arrived!

This darling little boy is Zoom Zoom! Mary (Luvswool on Ravelry) wins a copy of a 2009 newsletter as we chose one of her many entries for goat names:)  We still have more on the way too.
April's newsletter is now available.  The theme is blossoming.  And the knit pattern is socks Oh I do have long feet don't I?  There are small bobbles (flower buds) traveling up the leg.  I had a hard time showing them in a photo.

Music this week is from CCMIxter--Calendargirl April remix

Episode 20--Socks and other knitting

All about the socks on my needles, Sock Summit and Cookie A's new book!  Plus an Earth Day event--What are you doing for Earth Day?
In spinning I've got a shawl project I want to get going with, but I can't decide what colorways to go with.  There should be photos inserted here, but I'll have to make some more decisions before I start photographing. 

Here is a link to the article talking about Les Sarnoff of KINK dying.
I actually will be adding photos after the event tomorrow, but wanted you to have the podcast tonight.

Here is a link to the piano music at the end of the podcast.

Episode 19--Easters Past

Lots of babble about Easters past, gardening now and visitors.
Here is a link to the dairy goats we are looking at purchasing!

Some questions--
Spinners, what is your experience replacing your drive band?
Are you taking classes at Black Sheep Gathering this year?
As the Fiber Festival season begins, what do you look for in a fleece for purchase?
Who's coming to Sock Summit?  Would you be interested in coming a day early or stay a day later and attending a lunch at my restaurant?  I would love to organize a luncheon with a talk on local yarn dyers (of course with sampler plates!).

Episode 18--Spring has Sprung

I'm Back!  Sharing favorite things from my trip to Maui.  The two books I read on vacation are reviewed.  I highly recommend both of these books! 
And then the animals and Garden opening to Spring.

I mistakenly said that the author was Peter Berendt.  Actually it is John Berendt. 

A memoir and philosophy of a gardener.

There are goat babies (kids) on the way!  So a contest is in order--I need names that start with "Z".  All the goat babes born this year will be named Zoe or Zeus or Zepher or Zelda or Zinnia...But that isn't enough!  It is possible that we could have up to 8 kids this Spring.  So please enter a name or two.  For any we use the winner (s) will receive one of my newsletters with the accompanying yarn (your choice on which one).  leave a comment here or email me.  Once the babies are born we will fit names with goats and I'll let everyone know here. 

Also talked about is core spinning.  I'd love to know your experiences.  I plan to start a project soon with my angora seconds.

As the days in Spring are full of projects new episodes will now be uploaded every Saturday.
Thanks for listening:)
