Socks in the City

Hanging Up the Needles

Mon, 4 May 2009 22:43:00 GMT

Hi everyone! I just wanted to post to the RSS feed that I'm retiring from Socks in the City. The 38 episodes (37 and one episode in 2 parts) will remain free for download from itunes or libsyn for 30 days. I've archived the files, so if someone is very interested, I will "sell" a CD with the mp3 files--these are the same shows that were previously free. The cost will be say, $10 ppd in the US/Canada and will just cover expenses and defray the costs of equipment and hosting for the 2 years. I think that's ~$500 so on the off chance that all of a sudden everyone wants a mp3 CD then any additional will go to microloans through Kiva.org ad infinitum. PM me on Ravelry (I'm Dharmafey) for a CD. Thank you all for listening and for all your love and support! Carrie

Socks In the City Episode 37! Yeah, More Sock Yarn--the Destash/Restash Phenomenon

Wed, 8 Apr 2009 23:15:00 GMT

Hi! Yeah, I got more sock yarn--imported goodness in the form of Somoko from Fleece Artist from Canada and THREE skeins of Handgefaerbt.com from Germany. I bring you up to date with some recent awesome historical sock knitting articles, and think about spinning some sock yarn. The Buffy yarns are up now in the cosmicfibersyarn.etsy.com shop :) Shout outs and promos for my friend Knitter CNY at the Knit's Up podcast and my friend Oriah Sphinx with her show Media Astra Ac Terra. I contribute to Dr. Gemma of Cogknitive's psychology tools with my philosophy of "Always Expect People to Be Exactly Who They Are" (you'll never be disappointed and you can enjoy folks for their good parts without resenting their bad parts) And shhhh! I'm sending some Buffy yarn to David Reidy. Hope he likes them!

Episode 36: Obsessing over Knee Socks

Mon, 2 Mar 2009 01:36:00 GMT

La, la, la! I'm loving the knee socks! Currently OTN are the new Bettie's Lace Stockings in STR, and up and coming are Opal Ron, Tofutsies lace and Fixation embroidered knee socks--just in time for spring, eh? Go back to the libsyn site and see the previous Video Podcast--it didn't show up in itunes, though I don't know why. It's in MP4 format. Keep on knitting socks!

Socks in the City #27 part 2: The Listener Sock Yarn Reviews

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:06:00 GMT

Many opinions anonymously shared on the long-term experiences of various sock yarns.

I also share this cool .pdf tutorial on two socks on two circ's technique from Alana at nevernotknitting.blogspot.com. I think it's a terrific tute and well presented and a bargain for yourself or a pal at $7.

Thanks for listening!
