11: Chs 31-34 — Pride and Prejudice Jun 29, 2006

Show notes

This week, Chapters 31-34 (next week 35-37)

Felting soap is fun for the whole family! Just look! You can get roving for felting from Toni Neil at The Fold...they're the first house on the left. Really. You have to click it and see. It will make sense. Promise! My 9/11 story, just in case you wondered. And links to poetry/stories from my students too. And then The Soapbox. Sorry about that, but it's been bugging me so much. I hope that one of us will come up with some great idea for how to save the planet and all the people on it. I suppose it's genetic in me--my Dad is a Geographer working on Desertification, so I've known we were in trouble for a long time...

Anyway. The Gandhi Institute is a nice place to visit. Take a look! "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."--M.K.Gandhi "The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing, would suffice to solve most of the world's problems... -M.K.Gandhi And the essay on Gandhi and spinning can be found at this Yale site.

As always, Pride and Prejudice is narrated by Annie Coleman. Intro music provided by GarageBand.com which connected me with Joshua Christian's "Chasing Hiro".

Today, chapters 27-30

That's a pic of Jane!

Can you believe we're on chapters nine and ten of Pride and Prejudice?

Me either! And, once again, I find myself all hot and bothered by Darcey. Ah well... Before we get to that, today I'll talk to you about some quilting (that's the crazy part) and a wonderful book on toe-up socks (that's the Kahuna part).

Links to: Townsend Sock Knitting Group, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's new book, check out Blue Moon Fiber Arts on The Fold's Site.

Ready? Here we go... As always, Pride and Prejudice is narrated by Annie Coleman.

Intro music provided by GarageBand.com which connected me with Joshua Christian's "Chasing Hiro."

2026 Author Revision: Dead links removed. Queen Kahuna's Crazy Toes and Heels Sock Book by Mary Ann Beattie seems to be out of print, so we replaced it with a Ravelry link. Maybe contact Beattie for a copy of the book? Tell 'em CraftLit sent ya!

3: Chs 7-8 — Pride and Prejudice May 04, 2006

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 3!

In this episode I welcome you to the joys of the Jane Austen action figure (and I am Not Kidding); the belly laughs, sly smirks, or horror filled looks of You Knit What???; the adorable (in the eye of the beholder?) cats and bunnies with stuff and pancakes on their heads; and regale you with my lovely weekend at a spinning retreat in the Catskills, hosted by Claudia of CountryWool.

We'll also move on to chapters seven and eight in Pride and Prejudice, narrated (as always) by Annie Coleman.

Intro music provided by GarageBand.com which connected me with Joshua Christian's Chasing Hiro.

And, a little note: I'm so glad those of you who've commented are enjoying Austen. She's a fave of mine (duh!) and I'm thrilled that listening to her words is bringing you some joy while your hands are otherwise occupied.

2026 Author Revision: Several dead links has been removed from these shownotes. You can find the archives of YouKnitWhat here.

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 2!

In this episode I rave about The Girl From Auntie, but neglect to mention the name of the Poncho Sweater, and go on about Alpacas d'Auxvasse (not to mention Ann Mayes). Their Facebook is still active even in 2026.

And, as always, intro music is provided by GarageBand.com who hosted Joshua Christian's "Chasing Hiro."

2026 Author Revision: The Girl From Auntie website no longer appears to be available. However, you can still find some designs on Ravelry, including (?) a Poncho Sweater.
