Big CraftLit Update: Moby Dick, Supercast, Premium Audio, and Holiday Playlists

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 09:28:55 -0400

Here's a mid-December update from Heather with some important CraftLit news. We're officially moving CraftLit off Patreon and onto Supercast, and while the transition took a lot of work, the result is a much easier and better experience for listeners. In this update, I cover: • 00:00 Why CraftLit is leaving Patreon and why there's no Moby Dick this week • 01:10 How easy the move to Supercast is (no extra charges, no double payments): *helper videos for the process listed below* • 1:20 Where to find *Christmas playlists* across platforms: all on Supercast, CraftLit.com/christmas has BOTH CraftLit.com and Libsyn playlists. • 2:30 What *Patreon Patrons* need to do: craftlit.supercast.com/patreons (check your email from craftlit/patreon) • 4:03 Help for *app orphans* who lost access to premium audio: craftlit.com/app-orphan/ • 05:49 *Discounts ONLY available through the end of December 2025*: craftlit.com/supercast/ • 07:35 How *gift subscriptions* work on Supercast: craftlit.supercast.com/gifts/new • A quick programming update (Brain Broke—no Moby-Dick this week) • 08:59 Upcoming holiday audio and a new spooky Christmas story over at @chillingtalesfordarknights ("The Portal"—NOT goofy—coming soon, written by Mr Chilling Tales himself. Author of my fave—goofy—voicework I've done for them: "My Closet is Trying to Kill Me" youtu.be/ql09GEF-lF4?si=broWKLqI7ooV96cE) If you've ever supported CraftLit, use the app, or are thinking about becoming a premium subscriber, this video walks you through what's changing and how to get set up. Thank you for supporting CraftLit and for your patience as the tech finally caught up with what we've wanted to do all along. Happy holidays 💜 Here are some more helper videos for you, in case you'd like to see the processes before diving in—I filmed these all on my phone: The Sign-up Process Easily put the CraftLit Supercast feed into the Podcatcher of your choice The Sign-in process to access content on the Supercast platform

The Jargonelle pear (Pyrus communis 'Jargonelle') is an ancient, hardy, long-lived pear variety, first mentioned in the 17th century. It produces medium-sized, yellow-green fruit with a reddish flush and musky, sweet, juicy flesh, ripe in late summer. The fruit must be eaten fresh as it does not store well.

Mrs. Malaprop is a comedic character from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 1775 play The Rivals. She is a pretentious and self-important aunt who constantly makes humorous verbal blunders by using words that sound similar to, but are inappropriate for, the intended word. This type of linguistic error is now known as a malapropism. Her name is derived from the French term "mal à propos," which means "inappropriate" or "poorly placed". ***a memorable scene occurs when she instructs her niece, Lydia Languish, on the importance of controlling her passions, famously advising her to begin matrimony with "a little aversion," and later attempts to describe Lydia's headstrong nature by calling her "as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile". then She tells Lydia that she must forget the young man, saying, "But I say it is, miss; there is nothing on earth so easy as to forget, if a person chooses to set about it. I'm sure I have as much forgot your poor dear uncle as if he had never existed".

And what's this about Martha and Jem... and a lodger? --------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Episode start 01:30 July Raffle - Botanical Knits: 12 Designs inspired by trees and foliage by Alana Davos of Never Not Knitting 03.14 - This week's Tea - Gratitude Blend https://bit.ly/craftlit-pdtea 06:10 - Janine Barchas and Isabel Greenberg's new book "The Novel Life of Jane Austen: a Graphic Biography" 10:20 We had a very Sad chapter 13, which ended with Miss Matty thinking about Martha. :( 11:49 START BOOK TALK Rubric- The Book of Common prayer printed directions for teh service in red. Hens the Rubric (from the Latin word for 'Red") signified someting of importance and later came to mean "injunction" or general rule. REALLY??? LATIN FOR RED???? 13:50 - Mammon - Matthew 6:24, Devil of Covetovness or Demon of Greed (medieval and Milton - lowercase) (in hebrew meant money, modern hebrew. = wealth), , unjust worldly gain - ANNOTATION is partly WRONG, But there WAS a Syrian God of Wealth 19:45 - AAah Voo DEER-ray zhuh Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman - Basically Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - the easiest piece of music one could learn to play. Mozart had done one of his 12 variations (though, personally, I'm partial to Tom Lehrer's Clementine) 21:25 - She could "trace out patterns very nicely for Muslin Embroidery, by dint of placing a piece of silver-paper over the design to be copied, and holding both against the window-pane, while she marked the scollop and eyelet-holes". ANNOTATION SAYS "Probably broderie anglaise which used scalloped edges and a pattern of holes sewn round with thread like a button-hole." 22:55 - a Celestial Globe to learn simple astronomy/constellations https://fi.edu/en/science-and-education/collection/celestial-globe 24:35 - Wool-work and counting threads - think of needlepoint and petit-point, but you have to COUNT THE THREADS in a muslin or light canvas backing. Around 1830 v popular to stitch portraits of royalty (again, at least 10 years out of popularity elsewhere, but still popular in Cranford). Printed, gridded patterrns (Beeton's Book of Needlework) 27:05 - Under a glass shade - put a glass dome or CLOCHE over things to keep dust off—would have been REALLY important b/c it was DUSTY back then and only got worse in London as the Century went on (also used in gerdening for heat retention) 27:55 - Couchant - lying down in Heraldry Image from Sodacan, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0, via Wikimedia Commons 28:35 - East India Tea Company - Founded in 1600 by QE1 and held the chartered right to trade with India and China and IMPORT the tea as a monopoly until 1834 (BTW, Twining's started as a coffee SHOP/Room adding tea in 1717 , bought adjacent building for ladies to take tea(might be Western world's oldest dry tea and coffee shop) at No. 216 Strand london in 1706; still operating today - and logo created in 1787 is worlds oldest in continuous use) B/c the EIC's charter was for trade/importing, anyone could SELL the tea. 31:25 - our mites: Biblical times a mite was the lowest denomination of coin in Judea (two mites = one lepta (thin or small in Greek) which was equivalent to a quadran, the smallest Roman coin), (also see Mark 12:43 re: the Widow's Mite where Christ praises the window who gives her last two mites in the temple) Two mites were worth about 1/64th of a denari - a day's wage for a common worker, toay about 1/8 of a US penny (1 cent) 33:40 - Spills - QUILLING (thank you Aimee!) video of making Quilled spills 37:15 - Comfit - nut, seed, etc, covered in sugar coating - link to max miller's video on Sugar Plums Post-chapter Notes 1:25:42 - SSA update - Broader information from Snopes and SSA-specific update - but don't feel the need to read other sources.

It started with this story, and then this post that I wrote in response to it—and then this post by Benjamin Dreyer, which I asked my Chat-GPT to respond to, which then led to THIS piece from America's Copy Editor, with both of us being a little dazzled and a little terrified by a "mere" predictive-text engine's ability to create a phrase like "phrenology for prose." 07:30 - CraftLit is now on Audible—please check and let us know if it worked! 08:20 - Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah 10:25 - Jameella Jamil's article 12:17 - Don't forget to send us your crafty videos like Steph!!! 13:00 - Listener Margaret had JUST read this book on the Porter Sisters when their books were mentioned on a Cranford episode!

AND ILLEGAL in the USA since 1954 due to the presence of liver damaging "coumarin" - video on the beans - and this video was released just after I recorded this episode! 20:54 Full bottomed wig: 22:43 PADUASOY: heavy, rich corded or embossed silk fabric, From French - peau de soie, a cloth resembling serge (twill fabric with diagonal lines/ridges on both inner and outer surfaces per a two-up/two-down weave.) 24:19 Bottom of page a small "T.O." = turn over / Molly's writing is full of spelling like "Bewty" which is a subsequent joke line 25:49 Dum memor ipse Mei, dum Spiritus regift artus - Virgil, Æneid, IV.382, "While memory shall last and breath still control my limbs" 25:28 Carmen (lowercase) like CARMINA (song poem or verse) 26:54 Gentleman's Magazine 1782—Kind of an Atlantic Monthly—guess who contributed? Samuel Johnson! 27:18 M. T. Ciceroni's Epistolae: The letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43BCE) Roman statesman, orator, philosopher, and writer with 800+ letters surviving Heather before recording, in garden, with skewer pack: 28:41 "Rod in a pickle" - rod, method of punishment; pickle, something preserved for future use. 29:42 Life is a vale of tears: Psalm 84:6 also, description of a helicopter parent feels marvelously modern 30:21 Mrs Chapone (1727-1801) Contributed to the Rambler AND Gentleman's Magazine and wrote "Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773) and Mrs Carter (1717-1806) many languages and in 1758 published first translation of Epictetus THE Stoic Philosopher. 31:32 "Before Miss Edgeworth's 'Patronage' had banished wafers from polite society…": Patronage was a book (1814) with a character who was offended by a letter she received that was sealed with a wafer: "I wonder how any man can have the impertinence to send me his spittle" (I, 248) 33:06 "Old original post with stamp in the corner" not exactly the right watermark, but you get the idea… 34:30 "Sesquipedalian" writing - foot and a half long sesqui = 1-½ pedalis =foot looonng polysyllabic words 35:13 Buonaparte (Bony)1805 invasion fears - In case you still need to build your own BUG OUT BAG 36:55 David and Goliath, son of Jesse (I Samuel 17) Apollyon (Greek version) and Abbadon (Hebrew version) are names for an archangel In Revelation 9:11—> _"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." (Revelation 9:11, KJV) Meaning: Abaddon (Hebrew) means "destruction" or "place of destruction." Apollyon (Greek) means "destroyer." It's overblown biblical satire—calling someone "Apollyon" in Cranford is like referring to a strict schoolmarm as "Beelzebub." 38:08 Bonus Bernardus non video omnia The Blessed Bernard does not see everything - maybe said by St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)— This quote is often attributed (possibly apocryphally) to Peter Abelard, the 12th-century theologian, as a gentle jab at St. Bernard of Clairvaux, with whom he clashed theologically. Meaning: Even the wisest man (here, Blessed Bernard) can be wrong sometimes. Post-chapter Notes Chapone and Carter and Bluestockings (see below for big notes) real historical women writers, both part of the 18th-century English Bluestocking movement—educated, literary women who promoted female intellectualism and moral development. Gaskell is absolutely name-dropping intentionally here for Cranford's themes of domestic gentility, moral seriousness, and self-improvement. ⸻ Mrs. Hester Chapone (1727–1801) Best known for Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773), addressed to her niece. It was a conduct book for young women, offering advice on moral character, reading habits, and proper behavior. Hugely popular—Cranford-adjacent readers would know her by name. ⸻ Mrs. Elizabeth Carter (1717–1806) A respected scholar, translator, and poet—a genuine intellectual heavyweight. Famously translated the Discourses of Epictetus from Greek in 1758—the first English translation by a woman, and one of the first of Epictetus at all. She knew multiple classical and modern languages and was close friends with figures like Samuel Johnson and Hannah More. *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9 • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023 *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships* —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

Miss J couldn't SUCK an orange (then by ch 3 she was gone from us) Martha, the new girl of all work trying to learn how to do her job and nudging Major Jenkyns when he didn't serve himself fast enough 11:00 Miss Matilda SATE bolt upright (not a typo) 11:16 Poetry today from George Herbert—selections from will be featured at the end of the episodes, Euan Bartlett is the reader 12:00 "Pudding before meat" and "no broth no ball; no ball, no beef" Suet Pudding: Spotted Dick pudding: Steak and Kidney pudding: Yorkshire Pudding 14:00 Yorkshire Pudding, a Humble History 15:32 Old fashioned forks - like 16th Century/1500s - were two-tine forks. 16:44 "Aminé at her grains of rice after her previous feast with the Ghoul" - from "The Story of Sidi-Nouman" from One Thousand and One Nights (1765-8) Aminé is wife of Sidi Nouman who notices she only eats rice with a bodkin. He figures out she's a Ghoul who goes to cemeteries at night to feast on the newly-buried dead so rice was pretty 'meh' for her. 17:48 "Unbecoming calashes to put on over their caps" - threw me b/c of the Caleche's in Dracula - turns out they're related! Retractable hood to put over a cap! 19:34 Tennyson - a line about cedars from 1842's "The Gardiner's Daughter" and in the original text It's missing from the published version so a conversation turn would have been less of an utter non-sequiter in the OG version. 20:30 Headsup for the crocheters in our midst. 20:48 "Locksley Hall" by Tennyson - not included accidentally. 21:04 Visiting rules - more 49:40 '"My cousin might make a drive, I think," said Miss Pole, who was afraid of ear-ache, and had only her cap on. '— spectacular set of non-sequiters (p41) 53:30 I saw, I imitated, I survived - Mary Smith as Cæsar - using rounded knife tip as a spoon-ish food delivery device Don't forget! SEND US YOUR CRAFTY VIDEOS George Herbert's poetry often draws on the natural world, gardens, and quiet reflection: 1. "The Flower" Theme: Renewal, the seasons of the soul, joy in growth Perfect for July because: It celebrates the resurgence of beauty and hope—after cold or darkness, flowers bloom again. "Grief melts away Like snow in May, As if there were no such cold thing." "Who would have thought my shriveled heart Could have recovered greenness? It was gone Quite underground; as flowers depart To see their mother-root, when they have blown." "Thy garden is not bare; And I shall find once more The sweet communion with thy saints." 2. "Easter" Yes, it's tied to the holiday, but it also celebrates light and blooming. "Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise Without delays, Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise With him mayst rise." Pair this with literal rising things—morning sun, lilies, tall foxgloves. 3. "The Pulley" Theme: Why God withholds perfect rest—so we seek Him. This works well in summer, when life feels abundant, but still leaves a twinge of longing. "When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by…" (and yet withheld rest, to draw man's soul back to God) A beautiful idea for a reflective pause among too-perfect blooms. 4. "Love (III)" Theme: Divine love, human unworthiness, and acceptance It's more theological, but gentle and moving—great for a quiet bench moment in a shady corner. "Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back…" "You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat." So I did sit and eat." It pairs beautifully with the hum of bees and the hospitality of a garden. If you want a very short quote for your garden journal or bench-musing: • "Thou hast given me this herb of grace to smell and taste." — from "Grace" • "Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave…" — from "Virtue" • "He that in mirth and youthful jollity keeps measure, is more temperate than he that lets his sorrow flow out without check." — from his prose The Country Parson *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9 • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023 *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships* —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

To the displeasure of many a maiden, its enjoyment is short lived. Once satisfied, it ceases to exist, and always costs dearly. Another moral: Apply logic to this grim story, and you will ascertain that it took place many years ago. No husband of our age would be so terrible as to demand the impossible of his wife, nor would he be such a jealous malcontent. For, whatever the color of her husband's beard, the wife of today will let him know who the master is. (Heather's note: I just had to add those here as I found them after I recorded) Andrew Lang, The Blue Fairy Book (London: Longmans, Green, and Company, ca. 1889), pp. 290-295. Lang's source: Charles Perrault, "La Barbe bleüe, "Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des moralités: Contes de ma mère l'Oye (Paris, 1697). And just for fun because I've mentioned it before: Blue Beard. Additional folktales of Aarne-Thompson types 312 and 312A and - The Robber Bridegroom. Another tale by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm about a sinister bridegroom (Aarne-Thompson type 955).—The **Aarne-Thompson**-Uther Index is wrapped around the Bluebeard story like a tourniquet! 24:50 "Leave me to repose…" from poem "The Descent of Odin" by Thomas Gray (of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard") 25:55 "Pride which apes humility" from "The Devil's Thoughts" "The Devil's Thoughts" is a satirical poem in common metre by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published in 1799, and expanded by Robert Southey in 1827 and retitled "The Devil's Walk" (Heather: AH HA! Now it makes sense). The narrative describes the Devil going walking and enjoying the sight of the various sins of mankind. Wikipedia Originally published: 1799 Authors: Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge 27:24 Yeoman vs Esquire 29:15 Castle Building (aka, wool-gathering) - the Castle in the Air 30:17 CHAPTER AUDIO BEGINS - Heather makes wool slippers using The Crossover Slipper pattern from YouMakeItSimple.com 52:46 POST-CHAPTER CHAT 53:45 Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management, Mrs Beeton's mitts from Brenda Dayne 56:25 Serve from the Left details: Serving: - Plates: Plates are served from the left, using your left hand to place the plate, allowing the server to use their right hand to avoid crossing in front of the guest. Beverages: Beverages, such as water and wine, are poured from the right, as glasses are typically placed to the right of the guest's plate. Sides: Sides like bread and vegetables are also served from the left. Clearing: Plates: Plates are cleared from the right, using your right hand to remove the plate. Exceptions: If a guest is obstructing the way on the right, or if there is an object on the right side, a server may need to serve from the right. Some restaurants may have their own protocols for serving, whether it's to the right or left. Why Serve from the Left? Serving from the left is considered less intrusive for right-handed diners, as it avoids the server having to reach across the guest. It also allows the server to carry the food in their left hand and serve with their right hand, without crossing their arms in front of the guest. 57:20 Madeline Khan in Blazing Saddles *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9 • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023 *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships* —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

Ep. 680: Cranford | Chapter 2 Book talk begins at 6:13. This week's chapter is a sobering reminder that small towns sometimes carry the heaviest stories. Also, we get another battle over Dickens vs. Johnson (yep, that again). --------------------------------------------------------------- • 02:40 - ME/CFS info: Listen to "The Blog" (4 min vs 19 min on "The Gist—yes, he titled them in reverse). This is one of the Long-Covid papers we've been waiting for. PEM—post-exertional malaise is "feeling tired/sore a day after a workout" on crack. • PEM pain and brain fog can last up to two weeks after exertion…The Rank Study he mentions is the group saying "duh m'dude. If you've been in bed for a year yer gonna be tired after a workouta. You gotta get back on your exercise routine and qitcherbellyaching" —a theory that's led to permanent patient paralysis. The other study is big because it indicates that the damage is mitochondrial, not systematic (i.e., we're getting plenty of blood to our muscles. The muscles just can't do anything WITH that oxygen) • —and podcast episode from the People who created the Visible app that has saved my life (MakeVisible.com) • 03:20 Snake Oil!!! https://www.snakeoilgame.com/ • 04:03 RAFFLE of "Knitting Companion," the amazing ergonomic book.

He created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular. Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens left school to work in a factory after his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, 5 novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.

It is now more commonly known as puerperal sepsis or postpartum sepsis. This condition is an infection that occurs after childbirth. In the past, it was a major cause of maternal deaths related to childbirth, especially before modern hygiene practices and antibiotics became available. Global Situation Today: - Maternal sepsis remains a serious issue and is still a significant cause of maternal deaths around the world. - The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that maternal sepsis accounts for about 10% of all maternal deaths globally. It tends to be more common in areas where many births happen at home, there are not enough skilled healthcare workers, and healthcare systems are weak. Historical Background: During Wollstonecraft's time, doctors often worked in unhygienic environments and did not yet understand germs. Consequently, infections after childbirth were sadly common and often turned deadly. - Peer Reviewed Journal Articles on Placental Sepsis: Cambridge: https://bit.ly/4f3Absz; AIMDR: https://bit.ly/4gicca2; Incidences of: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6903710/ -Trigger Warning: Details on MW's death: bit.ly/craftlit-MWs-death

Here's the recipe for Crabapple Chili 'cheese'—like a chutney but fewer bits—and the recipe for Crabapple Chili jelly—which Thing 2 said tastes like better than real honey…which means I think I needed to cook it longer/higher, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ Either way, make the jelly first then save the pulp after straining to make the cheese. I didn't have access to crabapples so instead I went to our local cidery and asked for the tartest/driest apples they had. She did not steer me wrong. I added a booster step this time: I have an apple peeler so I saved peels and cores, put them in a cheesecloth bundle, and cooked those down separately to get all the good pectin-y bits out. I reduced it by half then added that to the strained jelly. I also made this in an instant pot. I can't always guarantee I'll be able to get to the kitchen when a timer goes off, so I used our trusty InstaPot on 'Manual' for boiling (takes 1-1/2 to 2 one hour cycles to get a good boil on a vat of Fruit pulp) then I used its "slow cook" for simmering. Worked a dream. I did the cheese in a regular heavy-bottomed saucepan—much less of it to work with. *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9 • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023 *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships* —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

669 B: Interlude

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 08:58:36 -0400

Ep. 669B: Interlude This week, we're hitting the pause button on our usual programming. But don't worry, we've got a special treat for you—an Interlude filled with your wonderful voicemails and email, and some messages from Heather herself. We hope you enjoy this little break with us, and we can't wait to be back with you next week! --------------------------------------------------------------- Per Professor Silverman: "'Gypsies' have been stereotypical outcasts in the British imagination for centuries. But this has little to do with real history of Romanies (ethnonym). A good book to read is David Cressy: Gypsies: An English History. Below are several reviews of it. I also found Sara Hemsley's blog post (also below) but it merely repeats the stereotypes." If you want to hear some of the marvelous music Dr. Silverman studies, please scroll down on this page from the East European Folklife Center Gypsies by David Cressy and The Stopping Places by Damian Le Bas review – the truth about life on the road from theguardian.com historytoday.com The Gypsies in Emma from sarahemsley.com Jan Yoors book Other book mentioned • Help Bo's family reach their $5,000 goal!

The standard makers overcame this problem by first applying the gold leaf for the lettering and the fleurs de lys to both sides after which then they painted the images only on one side. Actual sheets of thin gold were attached to the fabric by first applying a thin layer of a fatty substance onto the cloth after which the gold leaf was beaten into the fabric. In French this technique is called "appliquées et battues." http://www.stjoan-center.com/j-cc/ and http://www.stjoan-center.com/topics/standard.html and https://www.jeanne-darc.info/biography/banner/

LINKS: Where are all the Joan of Arc relics? Usufruct: the legal right of using and enjoying the fruits or profits of something belonging to another. The gains granted by usufruct can be clearly seen in the Latin phrase from which the word developed, usus et fructus, which means "use and enjoyment." Latin speakers condensed that phrase to ususfructus, the term English speakers used as the model for our modern word. Usufruct has been used as a noun for the legal right to use something since the mid-1600s. Any right granted by usufruct ends at a specific point, usually the death of the individual who holds it.

Additionally, halberds were reinforced with metal rims over the shaft, thus making effective weapons for blocking other weapons like swords. This capability increased its effectiveness in battle, and expert halberdiers were as deadly as any other weapon masters were.

In the mid 90s there was a fab movie version of the first book (Devil in a Blue Dress—with an exceptionally hot Denzel Washinton). These are set in late 40s-mid 50s LA and show the town as it was then, from a Black perspective, and not at all shy at calling out the racism, much of which has changed very little. But they're also just wonderful potboilers in the finest tradition. I recommend them to anyone wanting to read escapist fiction and diversify their bookshelves at the same time.

BOOK TALK @ 4:44 Notes from Our Chats :) Portrait of a Lady on Fire Parable of the Sower Kindred - both by Octavia Butler--WITH IMPORTANT NOTE FROM LISTENER MAUREEN: "In the current climate, I think it's worth noting that Octavia Butler is probably NOT one of the few women of color writing science fiction, but rather one of the few women of color BEING PUBLISHED in science fiction. Systemic racism shows up everywhere! The most recent This American Life podcast covered Afrofuturism (and was a rebroadcast), and so I would imagine that lots of POC are writing science fiction, but the publishing world may not be publishing them. And, of course, it's hard for anyone to get published." Book and pattern recommendations below.

At least they haven't stooped so low as to allow women to practice what is obviously a man's profession… At his wit's end, Zacharias Wythe, Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers, ventures to the border of Fairyland to discover why England's magical stocks are drying up, an adventure that brings him in contact with Prunella Gentlewoman, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, and sets him on a path which will alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain—and the world at large…" - low-rent Strange & Norell https://amzn.to/2AVxnAd - Robert Asprin "Myth" Series Robert Asprin Neuromancer (Sprawl Trilogy Book 1) by William Gibson - https://amzn.to/3d0RYRa "Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K.

Case was the sharpest data-thief in the matrix—until he crossed the wrong people and they crippled his nervous system, banishing him from cyberspace. Now a mysterious new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run at an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, a mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case is ready for the adventure that upped the ante on an entire genre of fiction. Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind's digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations."

Heartbroken at his death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There, overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history she never knew, she is pulled into another time. The Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for the boy's long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman's disappearance is connected to her own. As tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland's independence and Anne is drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she must decide whether she's willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she never thought she'd find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?"

Newsletter on where I've been and will continue to be for a bit Heatherly Walker/Yarn Yenta's book! And from Robin: an alternative view point on the Walk Out Not Up movement. In most cases of child on child violence, it is the bully that kills their classmate and that is generally true for the young school shooters as well. Even in Columbine, the shooters were more often the harassers than they were the victims. Here is a rebuttal to the Walk-Up concept Also, for some of the kids who are shy/awkward/different, Walk Up can backfire pretty badly. The Choose Kindness movement (along with reading the book Wonder ) is much better for bullying. from Anna G: Wet nursing Scrappy Quilts even some quilts with 1x1 in squares! and Patchwork in Canada-Fannie Parlee's 1864 Confederation Quilt Fun with Alexander Pope should include: No one should be ashamed to admit they are wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that they are wiser today than they were yesterday. (my new fave quote) Amethysts in Nova Scotia Viewless Winds, Measure for Measure (III.i. l.124) CLAUDIO Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction and to rot; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice; To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendent world. . .

Crafty-cleaning More cleaning info and simplygoodstuff.com has products and a zillion tips, and all the listener emails: Lex recommended pet aquarium limescale remover (like for turtle or lizard tanks), Yvonne of Lavendar Sheep recommends 1:1 white vinegar to dawn - heat the vinegar to mix (the only time you'll need to heat it), put both in a spray bottle, shake, spray, leave 30 min, scrub, rinse. Here's the evil hard water. Sigh… Question - does this have anything to do with cleaning (ahem): the golden milk / turmeric thingy. Whatsup with that?

Opening song downloaded in 2006 as podsafe music: David Acton's "The Prodigal" DISCLAIMER This bonus episode of CraftLit likely belongs at the end of Herland, but since the inciting incidents didn't occur for several years, I'm putting it here, but with a warning - language and subject matter are NOT what you will find in the other 475± episodes of CraftLit. This is NOT an episode to have a first-listen with your kids in the car. To that end, I am well aware that there will be parts of this episode that will anger you. If you've listened to CraftLit for awhile you'll know that I often hold information or comments for the end—it's the theater side of me, wanting to book-end these essays so that they are dramatically and structurally consistent. But I'd be an idiot if I didn't know you would have responses while you listen. I encourage you to use the recording app on your phone and switch back and forth between listening and responding so you have your thoughts in order. Then, when you're done, you have the choice to send me the complete file at Heather@CraftLit.com OR you can call our listener line at 1-206-350-1642 and speak your mind. And, finally, You might be expecting me to deal with this topic through the lens of classic literature. With one exception, that will not happen in this episode. This is personal. This is nothing more than my thoughts—a culmination of 31 years of my experiences and thoughts—on this topic. We have faced many characters in complicated relationships where we in the modern world have very different responses regarding issues of consent. Byronic Heroes are not unknown to us. However, you may wish to hunt down the post by David Wong at (of all places) Cracked.com called Consent: 7 reasons why guys don't understand it. It's both funny and upset-stomach-inducing—and written by a guy for whom I'd like to buy a drink if he's ever in Eastern PA. 3:10 Before I begin, there is a transcription of this over at CraftLit.com/476. Included there are links out to everything I mention that is link-to-able. 3:51 Hello, The number of times I've been compelled to do something like this could be counted on a hand inside a very nicely knitted mitten, but Ehren Zigler started it, and comment threads I've been reading have pushed me to try—at least for we sane people—to end it. To begin at the beginning, my husband pointed out a month-or-so ago that every woman he knew had put a #MeToo hashtag on their feed. Sadly, none surprised him. However, he asked why I hadn't. I was the only one he knew of who could have but didn't. And I didn't. 4:30 I mentioned–very briefly–my past a few years back on CraftLit and I left it there. For a long time it had defined part of me, but then I got married, then I had a son, then I was teaching HS the day we were evacuated from the tip of an island off the coast of North America when a plane tried to drop a building on us, then I had another son, then I became a podcaster, an author, a speaker—I outgrew simple definitions. There is nothing simple about the conversation that is swirling around us right now—and I say that as both a #MeToo and as a mother of young men. The mother of some rather justifiably nervous young men. 5:15 When I was teaching HS in NYC I learned something very important that I need to share with you: I knew nothing about being white. I mean, yes, if you've heard "Stupid Shit White People Say" you've probably laughed–just like me. Ha Ha. I get it. What I mean is I knew nothing about what being white looks like to anyone who isn't. You might remember the spectacularly biting SNL clip of Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me" complete with what happens in the white world when anyone of color leaves the room. It's hilarious. And it's not. One of the most revealing conversations I ever had was with a class of recidivist freshmen. These 20 kids were massively in the minority at our very-college-focused NYC Public School. This was not their first time in Freshman English. It might have been their third or fourth, to be honest. Trying to figure out how to get them to want to strengthen their skills was more difficult than any teaching job I've had before or since and I probably failed to help at least half of them. But they sure taught me. I was particularly lucky because my students had learned that they could trust me—at least it seemed to believe they could. I sure hoped they could. This was well into my time in NYC and it was also at the height of the people-getting-jumped-for-their-Air-Jordan's scare and we'd been working our way through annotating a NYTimes article on the topic in preparation for them to practice writing formal letters, like they might have to write to a landlord someday, only we were using a letter to the editor of the paper as a practice run. As we annotated copies and separated fact from opinion (and noted where we'd need more facts to support our claims) one boy made a comment about how there was nothing wrong with jumping someone for their shoes—as long as that someone was white. As the only white person in the room at the time, I asked for clarification. Near as I can recall the conversation went something like this: Me: Wait, what? Student: Well, you know, Miss. I mean, it's mad wrong for me to jump someone like… Tyrik here (laughter) because I know it's not like he can just, you know, go out and buy new Jordans. ("awwwwww"s) Me: Okaaaayyy… Student: But…you know, Miss. If you need a new pair, you'll get a new pair. Me: Wait. Are you telling me that I should be able to buy a new pair of Jordan's because I'm white? (Laughter) Student: (clearly baffled by my response and the laughter) Um…yeah… Me: George, how much money do you think I make??? Student: (still baffled) I don't know…like…white people money? Me: (laughing) That's an income classification? Student: (backpedaling) You know, Miss? Right? Like, you make enough. You can, you know, buy…stuff you want. Me: George, I'm a teacher. We don't get rich being teachers. We get promised decent health care, and retirement, in exchange for not getting rich—almost enough to pay rent and eat. I'm not rich. Seriously. These shoes I got at Payless. I went on to break down how much I brought home every two weeks and what my monthly expenses were. My disposable money at the end of the month was about $30. The rustling in the room got louder as we worked our way towards that fact—a fact that the students brought up again and again in class when people made assumptions or worked off of stereotypes. 9:20 As different as my life was from George's view of All White Folks—his understanding of the differences of how white folks live from the people he grew up with in his neighborhood wasn't that far off. Things I saw our students do that I—at first—thought were SO self-defeating, so working against their best interests — were, often as not, learned survival skills. We had a whole cross section of girls who got to school late every day. Same amount of late Every Day. Why? Their moms and dads both worked, often more than one job and frequently in overlapping shifts which meant one adult was still on the way home from a late shift on public transit early in the morning when the other was leaving for an early shift. But there's a baby. Baby has to go to daycare. Affordable daycare starts at the same time as school. Solution? The oldest daughter is responsible and she'll be able to make up the work she misses at her school. Have her take the baby to daycare then go to school. Someone else will pick the baby up so the oldest daughter can stay late and get help, library access, or just a quiet place to study. Win-win. But it took several years for me to learn that. All the kids knew how it worked. One girl was shocked I'd needed to ask her, because duh, of course that's what was going on. Opening the door and coming into class late wasn't anything she needed to apologize or make excuses for, because it was just so obvious. Except it wasn't. To me. Just like I thought Damany's audio essay couple of years ago about the shootings in Dallas wasn't obvious. 11:18 Just like what Louis CK revealed in his public statement published in the NYT about the charges of sexual misconduct about him. H is thoughts weren't obvious either. It's not about race. It's not about beauty. It's not about sex. It's not necessarily about gender. It is all about power. 11:49 And even people with power never feel like they are the one in power. There's always someone richer, better, stronger, meaner, more ruthless, more threatening, better looking than they are. So if you try to have the conversation with them as though they've got more power than you they'll just "what about THAT person" and blow off everything you say. John Oliver did a lovely piece on "WhatAboutIsm" - which is also known as the tu quoque logical fallacy. Back to Louis CK. 12:40 I don't know if, in the maelstrom of sexual predator reveals you read or heard his whole statement, but you should know what he said. All of it. Because I think it should be the gold standard by which we judge responses to this issue. Allow me to give you a smidgen of context for why I believe that. 13:00 In a nutshell, Louis CK struggled on his way up as a standup comedian. A lot. He and Mark Maron have spoken about their enemyship and their friendship and how the difficulties they encountered paralleled each other but how they ultimately found success—albeit in relatively different areas. I guarantee you, if a female comedian heard me say that she would have snorted. Quadruple that snort if she's a female comedian of color. Because…seriously. It's just so obvious. Sidestepping that rabbit hole for a moment and going back to Louis CK—it's important to know that Louis CK - like George Clooney and Samuel L Jackson have famously said – Louis CK didn't have success handed to him on a silver platter when they were young. He ate his share of cup-o-noodles and did a fair bit of couch surfing is what I'm saying. So If an up-and-coming female comedian had said to him, "Geez, it's been rough going…" he'd be likely to say—justifiably—"Oh My God, I KNOW. There was this one time when I…" not necessarily as a way of him purposefully dismiss her struggles, but very likely thinking that he's speaking to an equal or—at least—to someone on her way to being a professional equal. How that convo might have been perceived by the woman he was speaking to would very likely have sounded very different. He learned—the hard way—about power disparities. 15:05 We can learn from him that power disparities are invisible to those in power UNLESS they are given a reason to stop, back up, think, ask questions, sit with it awhile, and then find the cojones to say "mea culpa" and own their error. And we—the rest of the public, the couch-sitting judge and jury to these people's social falls—we have to learn to allow them to do that. We say that we want people to own it. We say we want people to say they're sorry, but when they do we're as likely to attack them for that as we are for them denying everything. And that's too bad because we know everyone makes mistakes. But it's very rare that we see people who are actually evil—Goebbels and Himmler and Pol Pot and King Leopold evil—stalk other people to try to ruin their lives. Even the guy who assaulted me wasn't evil like that. He was a privileged jerk who thought he deserved everything—and that included females—because, my God woman, why WOULDN'T you want him, Right? He had money, he was smart (smart enough to get away with it more than once…until he broke his girlfriend's collarbone) he (thought he was) good looking…I mean, duh. Anyone who accused him of something that unsavory must just be bitter…or a bitch…or frigid…or a feminist. Because, I mean, who are they going to believe? Right? 16:40 At this point, you need to go listen to Ehren Zigler's ShakespeareSunday.libsyn.com episode from Nov 12, 2017 entitled: Who Will Believe You? When you're done, come back and pick up here. 17:10 Welcome back! So what have we learned? Sadly, that not much has changed since 1604, or, more accurately, nothing much has changed since… forever. But that isn't helpful. Because I've raised two wonderful boys, one of whom isn't unnerved about going to college on his own or of a possible terrorist attack nearly as much as he is of putting a girl in a position where he thinks she wants him to kiss her only to find that he'd misread the situation and is now labeled a predator. And the way things are flying around now, I don't know that he's wrong to feel this way. 18:02 If we can't tell the difference between and adult predator of girls and young women—a predator so well-known that a mall barred his entrance—and a man finally "getting it" and owning what he did wrong, if we can't respect a man taking ownership of what he did wrong and vowing to try to do better (knowing full well that history has it's eyes on him) then my son is right. He should be scared—or at least very very nervous. But that's the wrong lesson we're supposed to be learning. If theater, TV, and film have taught us anything, it's that bad things happen when people don't say what they should say. If real life has taught us anything, it's that people can get punished for saying the right thing to the wrong person and vice versa. If literature has taught us anything, it's that we can't learn, grow, and become better happier people if we don't listen to Atticus Finch: we need to walk a mile in the other person's shoes. 16:48 I've been talking a lot about Louis CK's statement, and before I read it to you, I do want to make it clear: I know that for years Louis CK denied all of these allegations. I'm also aware that in Hollywood he has a manager and an agent and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if, (a) they were male, and (b), if they advised all of their clients who found themselves in situations like this to deny everything. Why? Because it's been a very, very, effective tactic. Let me read it to you now because you have to hear it—all of it—for this last bit to make sense. I want to address the stories told to The New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not. These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K. because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn't a question. It's a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I've tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I'm aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position. I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn't want to hear it. I didn't think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it. There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with. I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work. The hardest regret to live with is what you've done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them… I've brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother. I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen. Thank you for reading. 19:25 When I was a kid, Atticus' lessons seemed simple: I could usually figure out what I needed to, I could find the empathy in me that I needed to, just by imagining myself in someone elses' position. That still works. Sometimes. But teaching in NYC taught me that imagination wasn't enough. I had to actually get to know people who at a first—very superficial—glance were so different from me, only to find that our middle class upbringings, our relationships with our loving and supportive parents, our thoughts about love and life and career were all so similar as to be indistinguishable from one another. Until you factored in chances for success. One of my bosses in Hollywood told me a story once. He had an African American best friend in college, he's Jewish. He laughingly told me how they used to have "woe is me" competitions, racking up all the ways people's prejudices and unfair treatment had frustrated them. I was young and naïve and I asked who won. He stopped laughing and said, "we ended the competition when my friend pointed out that if the two of us were walking down the street, people might guess I was Jewish…but they knew he was Black." In competitions like that, no one wins. Not even the people in power. 21:00 One more illustration In 2016 there was an article I read that profiled various voters. One was a tentative Trump supporter in the upper midwest. I'll call him Frank, for lack of a better memory. He wasn't comfortable with much about Trump personally, but it was better than what he'd personally experienced from the left. He'd served in a war, he'd come back, he'd gotten a job, he'd raised a family, he paid his taxes, he started his own business. It wasn't easy, but he worked his tuchus off and got his kids into college—like you do—and then one of his daughters came home from college with a boyfriend. At his own Thanksgiving table, this embodiment of the American dream, Frank, was served a plateful of stereotypes from a 20 year old kid—you must be a bigot, classist, uneducated, small-minded, evangelical, gay-bashing, woman-hating, immigrant-fearing, gun-loving, war-mongering idiot. Frank was, as would many of us be, speechless. And enraged. Here he'd done what he was supposed to do. He started a business. He supported his family. He paid his taxes. He loved his daughters and wanted them to be happy, with bright futures—that's why did did all the things he did. Not because it was fun. Not because he was following his bliss. Because It Is What You Do when you love your family. JUST like my student's parents worked many jobs and paid plenty in taxes to provide a home and futures for their families. But Frank didn't have anyone to yell at—he couldn't yell at his daughter's boyfriend—no matter how much the twerp deserved it. (I guess no one taught him about the word assume…) because a gentleman doesn't do something like that. He didn't have a place to go where he could protest this unfair treatment. He didn't have anyone to protest against. And yes, there's no question, Frank didn't see all of the benefits that being white and male afforded him. Again, to those with less power, his power is very obvious. To him, all he saw was how much work he put into making a good life for his family and his kids. So Frank was unhappy. But he didn't much like colleges. And he really didn't much like the Left. And it's kind of hard to blame him. 26:45 But I can't help but wish that in moments like that, the Franks of the world could find a way to step back and calmly ask, "Wait, but why? Why do you assume that about me?" And then listen. Because if Frank listened to the Why, there's a good chance that the more he heard and the more specific his questions got, the more he would expose the flaws in the stereotypes—and the more likely the Twerp would learn something he hasn't learned at home—respecting your elders has nothing to do with deferring to them. It's all about...

Recording from home can be isolating at times, so it feels great to go out into the wild and meet up with fellow casters to talk about improving our shows and the impact we have on listeners. I've listed a handful of podcasts I encountered at the conference (which I go into more detail about in the episode). Be brave! Find something new to listen to. TinyPotters.com --For kids who are Harry Potter Lovers (or soon-to-be HPLs)--going chapter by chapter through the books. Started Sept 1st. RedRoadRadio.com --Native American stories (hosts grandmother, 92?) is at the Standing Rock Res. ! And was out at the protests. TherapyChatPodcast.com --pretty much as you'd expect PublicInterestPodcast.com --host interviews politicians on both sides about the GOOD things they are doing. WhiskeyCast.com --exactly what you think, hosted by Mark Gillespie. One of the longest running, certainly one of the longest profitable, podcasts out there (out of southern NJ, too!) Fan Theory Podcast --iTunes etc, Facebook.com/fantheorypodcast "everyone's a fan of something" FishNerds.com --always interesting, usually funny, mostly true GreatBeerAdventure.com --discover awesome and unique craft beers with Amanda PodcastJunkies.com --my table mate and King of All Media, Harry Duran, hosts this interview show. DirtyWaterDude.com —Host and water expert Stefan Roots has the loveliest voice conveying some Really Dirty Info PopCollectorsPodcast.com —if you have a Funko Pop Collector or just Funko Fans in the house, they now have a podcast to listen to—all for them!

But in vain did he rack his imagination; fertile as it was, he could not devise any plan for reaching the island without companionship. Dantes was tossed about on these doubts and wishes, when the patron, who had great confidence in him, and was very desirous of retaining him in his service, took him by the arm one evening and led him to a tavern on the Via del' Oglio, where the leading smugglers of Leghorn used to congregate and discuss affairs connected with their trade. Already Dantes had visited this maritime Bourse two or three times, and seeing all these hardy free-traders, who supplied the whole coast for nearly two hundred leagues in extent, he had asked himself what power might not that man attain who should give the impulse of his will to all these contrary and diverging minds. This time it was a great matter that was under discussion, connected with a vessel laden with Turkey carpets, stuffs of the Levant, and cashmeres. It was necessary to find some neutral ground on which an exchange could be made, and then to try and land these goods on the coast of France. If the venture was successful the profit would be enormous, there would be a gain of fifty or sixty piastres each for the crew. Let's Communicate!

The evil meat allergy ticks InsectShield clothing ZapIt! Permethrin Only for clothing - NOT TO BE PUT ON SKIN 20%Picaridin or a big ol tank of Picaridin Bulk instructions for a less wasteful Picaridin spray use: Question: Is it possible to buy a refill for the spray bottle? I do not want to throw the pump in the trash for each bottle I order. Great product Answer: If your going to use multiple bottles of permethrine...this is what i did. I bought a bottle of permethrine 36.8%, sometimes called "permethrine SFR". Then I got a one gallon lawn and garden sprayer. The are about $10 dollars . The just dilute the permethrine to the .5% strength like the sawyer's is. That is half of one percent. Dilute as follows. 1 gallon of water gets 2 ounces of 36.8% permethrine to give you .5% . Sooo much cheaper this way. And your right why buy and throw out all those plastic bottles, Permethrine SFR is available on Amazon. The bottle have a ounce measuring thing built in. Make gallons of the stuff for so little money...Or of course you could buy the 10% permethrine and just dilute that to .5% to make a little less.

Mene, Mene, Tekel, U'Pharsin Closeup of The Writing: By Rembrandt - www.nationalgallery.org.uk : Home : Info, Public Domain Translation Variations French version: 6:54-7:34 À force de se dire à lui-même, à propos de ses ennemis, que le calme était la mort, et qu'à celui qui veut punir cruellement il faut d'autres moyens que la mort, il tomba dans l'immobilité morne des idées de suicide; malheur à celui qui, sur la pente du malheur, s'arrête à ces sombres idées! C'est une de ces mers mortes qui s'étendent comme l'azur des flots purs, mais dans lesquelles le nageur sent de plus en plus s'engluer ses pieds dans une vase bitumineuse qui l'attire à elle, l'aspire, l'engloutit. Une fois pris ainsi, si le secours divin ne vient point à son aide, tout est fini, et chaque effort qu'il tente l'enfonce plus avant dans la mort. Public Domain version: By dint of constantly dwelling on the idea that tranquillity was death, and if punishment were the end in view other tortures than death must be invented, he began to reflect on suicide. Unhappy he, who, on the brink of misfortune, broods over ideas like these! Before him is a dead sea that stretches in azure calm before the eye; but he who unwarily ventures within its embrace finds himself struggling with a monster that would drag him down to perdition. Once thus ensnared, unless the protecting hand of God snatch him thence, all is over, and his struggles but tend to hasten his destruction. This state of mental anguish is, however, less terrible than the sufferings that precede or the punishment that possibly will follow. There is a sort of consolation at the contemplation of the yawning abyss, at the bottom of which lie darkness and obscurity. Robin Buss' translation (1996, 2003): …eventually he fell into the melancholy quietude of thoughts of suicide. Woe to the man who, sliding into misfortune, is drawn by such dark thoughts! This is one of those dead seas that seem to offer the inviting blue of pure waters, but where the swimmer's feet are sucked into a bituminous mire which draws him, drags him down and swallows him up. Once caught, he is lost if God does not come to his aid, and every effort that he makes pulls him nearer to death. - The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas ROBIN BUSS • Bituminous Bitumen - a black viscous mixture of hydrocarbons obtained naturally or as a residue from petroleum distillation.

Ch 4 - A Christmas Carol - T'was a Treat

Wed, 24 Dec 2014 04:59:00 -0400

Your special treat from Jon Scholes. (And its mysterious origin story.)

Ch 3 - A Christmas Carol

Tue, 23 Dec 2014 04:59:00 -0400

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens—Stave the Fourth, Stave the Fifth Music used in this Audiobook with Benefits compiled from "Carol of the Bells" from Community Audio Internet Archive Holiday Brass Ensemble, Nemesis, 12 Days of Christmas, and The First Noel all from the YouTube Music Library Subscribe at iTunes--> New? Find out how to get all the audiobooks-with-benefits--> Dickens of a Christmas Blog Hop (from 2010, but still excellent recipe links!) November 12th—The Cratchette pattern November 15th—Staves 1–2 November 17th—Stave 3 November 19th—Staves 4-5 November 23rd—Hot Buttered Goodness From the text: ...and Bob served it out with beaming looks, while the chestnuts on the fire sputtered and crackled noisily. Then Bob proposed: "A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!" Which all the family re-echoed. "God bless us every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all. In the 2010 holiday season a group of us hosted a Dickens of a Christmas blog hop: April of 21st Century Housewife Ken of Ken Albala's Food Rant and many, many books about food which you should check out Sarah of Toranto Tasting Notes blog, print journalist, food blogger and author of an upcoming book about the home canning revolution Margo of Hat Shadows, a professional milliner for film, theater, opera and ballet. She teaches hatmaking courses so check out her blog! Diana of A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa Annette of Sustainable Eats and Me! There are recipes for the traditional foods Dickens wrote of in A Christmas Carol, or recipes that would have been found in Victorian England around the holidays. There were giveaways (sorry, finished), themed knitting patterns and quite possibly hats! There may have been smoking bishop and suet cooked in organs. And there was certainly much making of merry. We hope you enjoy this as much as we know we did! And we hope that you have a DICKENS OF A CHRISTMAS!

BOO! Masque of the Red Death

Wed, 30 Oct 2013 15:48:04 -0400

BONUS EPISODE-"Masque of the Red Death", because... tis the season! And because Jon Scholes ROCKS! So, to celebrate, I thought I should give you easy links to some other seasonal audio: Link to "Cask of Amontillado" episode Link to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" episodes Link to Dracula episodes on CraftLit, and Dracula episodes on Just-the-Books The first story I did for Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, "Death in a Dark Mirror" And while I can't knit right now, if you can or want to, you should check out Meg's latest Grounded sock—Jenn's Subtle Majicks. UPDATE: I had this all set to go out automatically, but I know word has been spreading on the interwebs and my radio silence while taking an hour nap this morning incited panic on Facebook. The upshot: I'm fine. I'm typing slowly with one hand b/c my left arm is useless, probably for two or three more days. After getting the flu and then pneumonia last winter, I got flu and pneumonia shots Tuesday morning... in the same arm. This is evidently not something my body liked and it has rebelled. Ungodly pain hits when I move my left arm. But I've currently got it pinned to me, Napoleon-like, and good doctor drugs let me get some rest. So. The other epic fail was getting the Grounded audiobook up this week. Computers conspired as did health, so... next week! Enjoy the podcast, I'll be fine, and things will return to normal (giggle::snort) next week. Music by David Beard, “Restless Spirits”

Literary Links of interest for this chapter: Cool St Augustine facts! Polonaise Pharisee update Ulster Coat Susan said about St Augustine: This evening as I was going to a class at Flagler College I was listening to the episode where St Augustine is first mentioned. The College is in the old Hotel Ponce de Leon, built by industrialist Henry Flagler in the 1880's. It was designed by Carrere and Hastings, who also built the NYC Public Library. The college is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the building this year. For a time it was the nicest hotel in the world, with many original Tiffany windows (that are still there), beautiful architecture and even electricity with wiring put in by Edison. It was The Place to go in winter. It's a pretty amazing building. There is a student run tour twice a day, and it's very popular. It was definitely for the upper classes only. Flagler built another hotel across the street, but it was not quite as nice although It did have a casino and the world's largest indoor swimming pool. The Hotel is built on land my ancestors farmed in the 18th century. Later, one of my great great grandfathers was a hunting and fishing guide for Henry Flagler and his guests. Hmm, I probably should have read this book a while back, huh? (Heather's Note: I love these brushes with greatness we get! More proof y'all are the best!) Later, Flagler moved further south, building the railroad that ended in Key West. After he died he was buried in the mausoleum of a church he built here, right near the hotel. In fact, I parked in front of it tonight! His first wife, as well as his daughter and granchild are buried there. I will attach a couple of pictures, from postcards, that you will find interesting. (I have these cards in my postcard stash. I'm a Postcrosser,) They are fairly self-explanatory. The modern photo shows the dome of the church Henry Flagler is buried in. It's Memorial Presbyterian, although my friend insists on calling it the Presbyterian Mosque. It's pretty elaborate. The hotel became a college in the 1968. The college is small, but highly rated. (Also, on another note, coquina is pronounced Ko-keen-a, not Ko-queen-a. It's a Spanish word, so a lot of people make that mistake. I can't remember which episode this came up in.

Canterville Ghost Sneak Peek

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 21:00:00 -0400

It occured to me that you haven't a clue what beauty awaits you in "The Canterville Ghost"! This was subscriber-only audio which now lives in the Shoppe. It's such a hidden gem of Oscar Wilde's I started to feel bad that more of you didn't know how fantastic is is. So. Here! This is most of the first bit. There are three parts which make up the whole book. If you want it, you can get it here. The Age of Innocence starts June 28, 2013. In my effort to be more efficient, I've also created two email lists: one for folks who are new to this whole CraftLit/Just-the-Books thing and would like more information one for folks who have been around for awhile but would like to be informed of any newsy bits (travel, new books, surveys for next books) when and if there are newsy bits Hope that's good and useful for y'all! See you in two weeks!

Let me share what CP says: Our intentions are as follows: as with all things CP, we compensate our contributors fairly, work with indie designers and dyers, and generally keep great content coming at you; we will be publishing 3x per year (though we're doing a special "issue zero" in time for TNNA, the big pro fiber arts tradeshow in June) via our own app. This app will eventually also offer other Cooperative Press content, too. Ebooks, special issues, etc.; by popular demand and in response to some early feedback, we'll do a PDF version of the magazine, which will be available via our website and Ravelry. It won't have the video/audio/interactive functionality of the main version, but for readers who aren't interested in reading via app, it'll offer access to most of the content; each year, we'll collect the magazine content into a book book -- think the way Food&Wine or Martha Stewart republishes their "best-of" each year. Hopefully having multiple access points for the content will make everyone happy. And by having several digital options, it makes it possible to buy it from anywhere (even Australia and the UK!), because as we've learned selling books, not everyone feels like paying the (frankly absurd) postage rates these days. It makes me ill to have to charge half again the cost of a print book just to ship it to Europe, and from a purely capitalistic perspective, I'd rather you put that $12 towards another one of our ebooks! :) And, more happiness—the husband gets more good press for his book, too!

(Sorry, no idea how to pronounce that one) On the plus side, they do appear to be easy enough to deal with-all you have to do is force the obour into a bottle using an Eikon, stopper it up, affix the Eikon to the bottle, and then chuck the whole enchilada into a fire. Karen Wessel just remembered what I've been meaning to mention - the "Leiterwagen" mentioned in Dracula? the literal translation is Ladder (=Leiter) cart/wagon (=wagen).

Gwen Steege's new book—you can join "The Knitter's Life List" on Ravelry or the Facebook page, and of course Storey's website has a page for it The husband's new novel and his lovely review from Kathleen: Andrew Ordover's novel is an entertaining introduction to a fresh new detective. Jordan Greenblatt, a Long Island transplant to Atlanta, has a smart and funny Southern wife, a group of jazz musicians for whom he plays bass, and, oh yeah, a one-man PI firm specializing in routine investigations: philanderers, insurance cheats, and other run-of-the mill cases. He also has some personal baggage that will soon be unpacked. Although he enjoys his self-described "slacker lifestyle," he is a bit bored and when a New York businessman asks him to investigate the three-year old hit and run death of his daughter, a woman whom Jordan knew as a teenager, he takes the case. Jordan's main gift as an investigator seems to be his impulsivity, and with his initial lack of either foresight or self-defense skills he manages to ruffle a lot of local feathers in what eventually becomes a very personal quest for justice. Ordover's gifts as a writer include a terrific ear for dialog, excellent pacing, and a sense of humor that is neither cynical nor snarky. He's given us an intriguing supporting cast as well, and I like his taste in classic jazz. After reading the last page I was delighted to see a teaser for a second book in the series. Although fans of feline detectives may be disappointed, I was charmed that the only four-legged cat in the book is Jordan and Susannah's pet cat, Eliot, who has a walk-on part in one scene and who appears to have absolutely no super-spidey-powers of detection To clarify location and peoples in Dracula somewhat: Who ARE these people Harker is going on about?

Possible etymologies for nosferatu: A leading alternative etymology is that the term originally came from the Greek "nosophoros" (*νοσοφόρος), meaning disease-bearing.[10] F. W. Murnau's classic film Nosferatu strongly emphasizes this theme of disease, and Murnau's creative direction in the film may have been influenced by this etymology (or vice-versa).[11]...A final possibility is that the form Gerard gave is a well-known Romanian term without the benefit of normalized spelling, or possibly a misinterpretation of the sounds of the word due to Gerard's limited familiarity with the language, or possibly a dialectical variant of the word. Two candidate words that have been put forth are necurat ("unclean", usually associated with the occult) [13][14] and nesuferit ("the insufferable").[5] The nominative masculine definite form of a Romanian noun in the declension to which both words belong takes the ending "-ul" or even the shortened "u", cause in Romanian "l" is usually lost in the process of speaking, so the definite forms necuratu, nesuferitu and "nefârtatu" are commonly encountered (translatable as "the unclean", "the insufferable one", respectively "the devil"). Wikipedia What I'm reading that isn't about fangs: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke Ehren Ziegler over at Chop Bard podcast recommended this and when he says "jump" I say, "what was the name of that book again."

Her books are available as audio books too, and "the actress who narrated my Dracula book is fantastic, and the audio book version of The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë just won the 2011 Audie award."

Székelys Atilla the Hun Jumping the gun a bit, but this is so pretty… New Slains Castle may have inspired Stoker–New Slains Castle is a ruined castle near Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, overlooking the North Sea. This is what an Aquiline (roman) nose looks like: Slovak costumes referred to in the story: and another page with traditional Slovak dress on it. Here's a caleche From: Irish Clover ‪‬ Some 411 on Bram: First, he worked in the tax department at Dublin Castle, a government building, in his early working life. (The people of Dublin say he was a bloodsucker before writing about a bloodsucker.) Also, Stoker spent his summers around Killarney as a small boy. If one were to go on the Ghost Tour of Killarney, she would hear of the story of a man who lived in the ruins of Muckross Abbey. The man would be a part of living society during the day, but at night, he would retire to the ruins. The towns people would hear horrible shrieks and tortuous sounds from the Abbey that would last until almost dawn. When the sun was close to rising, the man would lie down in an empty coffin and sleep for a few hours. Lore has it that Stoker heard the stories about the man when he visited Killarney. Also, the Gaelic word drochfhuil (pronounced drak-ul) means "bad blood." I have no idea how much of these stories are true, but the lore around Stoker really adds to the tale of Dracula.

Murnau's classic film Nosferatu strongly emphasizes this theme of disease, and Murnau's creative direction in the film may have been influenced by this etymology (or vice-versa).[11]…A final possibility is that the form Gerard gave is a well-known Romanian term without the benefit of normalized spelling, or possibly a misinterpretation of the sounds of the word due to Gerard's limited familiarity with the language, or possibly a dialectical variant of the word. Two candidate words that have been put forth are necurat ("unclean", usually associated with the occult) [13][14] and nesuferit ("the insufferable").[5] The nominative masculine definite form of a Romanian noun in the declension to which both words belong takes the ending "-ul" or even the shortened "u", cause in Romanian "l" is usually lost in the process of speaking, so the definite forms necuratu, nesuferitu and "nefârtatu" are commonly encountered (translatable as "the unclean", "the insufferable one", respectively "the devil"). Wikipedia What I'm reading that isn't about fangs: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke Ehren Ziegler over at Chop Bard podcast recommended this and when he says "jump" I say, "what was the name of that book again." I'm not far into it, but it's an interesting read so far. LOVE the spelling!

Today The Woman in White, Walter Hartright's narrative, the story continued, sections v–vii. This week, I don't sleep. But then, neither did Penny. Does misery love company? Yes. Yes it does. Too tired to be bummed about missing Sock Summit. Sleepless at home is better than sleepless in an hotel. ish.

Making sense of our chapters: Italian Secret Societies, Pits and Stalls in Opera Houses—see the rim around the Stall seats (in the US we call them Orchestra seats). I think that must have been what Pesca climbed up on so he could see. Fosco would have been in a box. Stall seats back in the day: You can just barely see the rim around the pit seats: See the rim at the back of the stall seats? And, from the episode before, the gloriousness that would have been the London's Great Exhibition—and the reason for so many "foreigners" in town. July Incentive!

Sun, 26 Jun 2011 12:12:00 -0400

Today, the Third Epoch (Walter's narrative), sections v-vii of the Woman in White. Good to be back and start to feel "normal" ish. New and old friends surround me, as does humidity, heat, mosquitoes, and lightening bugs. Also lemonade and whiskey. What's not to love? Looking for a good pattern for a knitted A-line skirt. Anyone? Anyone? I'm sure you know the new Knitty is out, but did you know that the Double Heelix sock is there? It's soooooo kewl! Madame Defarge appears on blogs and in Ravelry queues! A good sign! Some newsy ideas: make your own laundry soap (save some ducats) and make your own wool dryer balls (there are some lovely argyle ones on Etsy). Why, you ask, would you want a dryer ball? To stop static cling and dry your clothes faster, thus cutting down on expensive dryer time and eliminating the need for dryer sheets! OTN: Spindle-spun Handknit socks My niece's baby kimono (LOVE that Mason/Dixon pattern!) Bro-in-Law's Xmas 2010 socks (Yes, I know); using the Tristan pattern from WWMDfK? this pic is lousy color, the left is closer to real. Wildfoote yarn. July Incentive!

212: 3rd Epoch, Walter i-iv

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:29:46 -0400

Still unpacking, but... If you're a teacher, ChopBard has a new book out for you (see incentive below). Really, seriously, the man's a goldmine. If you're a spinner, check out Cotton Spinning with the Takli, a DVD by Joan Ruane. She is a member of my old guild in Tucson and a wonderful teacher. Everyone loves her because she's incredibly loveable. I've not seen her DVD myself--I spent my time watching her in person--but the review in Spring 2011's Spin-Off is glowing. The Quayside sock book I designed for (Knitting Socks from Around the World) is coming out July 1, 2011. I'm now working on a sweater for the same series... we'll see if this can be pulled off. It's going to be a doozy. In moving news (um, physically moving, not necessarily emotionally moving), If you're in the Northern Virginia area, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm going to need babysitters and the 411 on local yarn stores etc. Already found (and love) Uniquities in Vienna, VA. LOVE that place! Am learning how to live on no income—or more accurately—to seriously live on seriously one income. I'm also loving Farmer's Markets and local strawberries. And the color green. It's green here. If you want to see pics and stories of what happened (or didn't) on our trip, you can click on the "Road Trip" link in the sidebar of the shownotes. And that Punk bar I mention? That's the Triple Rock Social Club. Must go if you're in Minneapolis/St Paul. Ask if the knitters are there (ha!). Don't forget, there are a few seats left for the Road to Rhinebeck. As fun as the relocation road trip was, Rhinebeck will be even more better. And, in fact, it looks like my husband and sons will be meeting us in Rhinebeck--along with Ehren Ziegler and many many friends. Not to be missed! I also have an apology. I realized I've been living under a rock. Not having a job meant never buying anything. Avoiding buying things—meant no stores, no shopping, and no magazines (those suckers get expensive). This means no data in. So my data out has been… um… limited. As I left on the trip I got a heartfelt Tweet and Rav message from a listener in Norway who had some—I thought—important criticisms of where the show has been going over the last eight months. I think writing the book, starting a business, teaching while being a temporarily single mom, and moving all really sucked it out of me. But the podcast sincerely is like home to me. I've missed podcasting, I miss hearing from y'all, and I miss the way things used to be, too. So, my promise to you is this: I will try to do better. So many new and exciting things are coming, but much of it will have to wait until the boys are back in school (because right now they're in "Camp Mom" and there's only so much of me to go around). OH And I learned that antiperspirant does a pretty decent job of cutting the bitterness of a mosquito bite. Seriously. July Incentive! Donate between now and July 31st and you will be put into the drawing for your own copy of the new Chop Bard book, Devouring Shakespeare; Five Simple Tools, personally autographed for you by Mr. Ehren Ziegler! Don't forget your copy of WWMDfK? It's getting great buzz, and I, personally, am knitting my way through it right now. Loving it!

Listen to 194 audio. 8 And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please." (Genesis 40:8, New King James Version) 25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: (Genesis 41:25, New King James Version) 18 "This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you." 19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spoke, and said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you." Belteshazzar answered and said, "My lord, may the dream concern those who hate you, and its interpretation concern your enemies! 20 "The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth, 21 whose leaves were lovely and its fruit abundant, in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heaven had their home— 22 it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth. 23 "And inasmuch as the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its stump and roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field; let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let him graze with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him'; 24 this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: 25 They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.

We are bringing together 100 events will be hosted at Glasgow's Tramway and Hidden Gardens on Tuesday 8th March, including: speakers, story tellers, visual art, dance, music, film, and a massive amount of knitting.

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:36:00 -0400

What a DAY! Brutal coming back from a nice weekend, but this was a little nutty, even by my standards. Here I sit, laptop in front of me, candle and matches next to me. Kinda a Laura Ingalls Wilder sorta night. Regardless, I was able to sketch a little on the trip. Here's some Newport Beach for you. We also got a copy of the VERY LOVELY Amy S. Foster's new novel "When Autumn Leaves" (clever, sure, but what else do you expect from a CraftLit listener?!). I read the back and am already hooked. You will be too! Go buy! Support CraftLit folks! Blackout kinda blew my mojo…but I think it's okay now. Lotsa wind, some rain, some really good lightning. We thought the monsoons were over, but the hurricane in Baja helped us out. Very nice. Lovely weather. SEPTEMBER INCENTIVE! Cool For You!!! Fabricate! AND Joi Lynn's bookmark and stitch marker set AND a Mission Falls Kit! What could be more exciting?! Books I mentioned: Big Book of Things to Draw, Emberly's Drawing Book of Animals, Visual Journaling, Art for Kids Cartooning. Don't forget the 2009 SCARLET LETTER CHALLENGE!

And, of course, checkout the Holiday Travel link above and sign up to be in the loop. It's a lotta bang for your buck (Dianne only picks the good stuff) so even if it seems like a stretch right now, you're going to kick yourself when you win the lottery…after the trip is full. Seriously!

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:00:00 -0400

Chapter 12 of The Scarlet Letter. Today Thing 1 leaves for the Galapagos Islands with his grandparents and I receive that horrible weepy phone call every parent dreads. Thing 2 and I get another crafty weekend and I share video of his first dance recital. Tonight, watching a splashy dance number he announces that all he wants to do is be on TV. Have we created a monster or was he doomed from the start? Kewl pics from Burton's Alice in Wonderland (oooh, ahhhh...or eeek! ugh!); fave sock heel yarn found (colorway 35); getting closer to identifying 15 pretty blogs (who knew I'd have no time to look); I close in on a complete edit of my complete draft of my complete novel (who knew it would take this long...you sensing a theme?); I change my Sock Summit travel arrangements...SFO, I hardly knew ye.

Full disclosure, I was only able to stream the first minute plus (that's the technology part above) but what I saw was funny. I'm going to guess that it might not be PG though. Just a headsup. Also, don't forget to check out KnittingDaily.com and BrookklynTweed. There's also the fab Etsy store with the cool Shakespeare Sock Club (I LOVE the colors), cool Twitter news, a book review by our own Becky, now of Tucson (Go Saguaros!), your link to the new Harry Potter Site, and checkout Leanne's Lovely blog.

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 05:02:00 -0400

Today, we're diving into a sassy and delightfully dramatic world of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter! We're stepping back in time to explore the Puritanical streets of 17th-century Boston, where fashion faux pas were the least of anyone's worries. We'll explore the story's hidden depths, the characters' secret rendezvous spots, and the scandalous rumors that would put modern-day tabloids to shame. We'll laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear or two, but we promise it'll be a rollercoaster ride you won't soon forget!

One of my former (read 9/11 evacuee knitting students) is now teaching herself and is trying to start a knitting group for the troubled children she's working with. She is not a registered 501(c)3 so there would be no tax write-off for helping, but of course, Karma's always good. Please contact me if you would like to send her knitting or crochet materials. ANY cast-offs are a boon. I recall that we received half-finished sweaters, ball-ends from projects, mismatched needles, and such. It's all helpful when working with kids.

117: ch 47 - END Little Women

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:25:00 -0400

I'm back-to-backing the last chapters so you can finish happy over Thanksgiving. YAY! I'll be back in December with Jeckyl and Hyde...which seems odd for the Xmas Spirit thing, but...We'll have The Scarlet Letter in the new year...which actually seems oddly appropriate. These episodes contain the following: episode 116—chapters 44–46 episode 117—chapter 47, the final chapter, "Harvest Time" OH! And check out Pintoid Cameras! And what they do! UPDATE 11/28/08: Error SHOULD be fixed now! ARGH!

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 20:49:00 -0400

A great article on the REAL author of Frankenstein (it's what you'd hoped--better than...), some kewl artsy things to do with small boxes, and yes, I call it episode 116. It's not. And Who Knew?! Who knew we'd have a run to the emergency room on Halloween night, an election that took up WAY more time than we thought, a novel that is actually progressing, various illnesses (hello Coxsackie!) and, you know, the rest of the life stuff. Enjoy chapters 42 and 43!

114: chs 40-41 - Little Women

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 03:18:00 -0400

The links for you: Our October Incentive book; links to more painting; link to the Mason-Dixon book; link to fabu Artisan bread—thank you Dawn—book (and the video you should watch first); links to More With Less (the Mennonite book), Nigella Express, How to Cook Without a Book, Fannie Farmer, Saving Dinner (low-carb, vegetarian, basics), Tightwad Gazette; and a buy local support page. The Chapter That Will Make You Cry (40) begins at 19 minutes and 57 seconds, The One That Wont Make You Cry (41) starts up at 34 minutes and 8 seconds...so you can kick back in safely. I don't think we'll have this trouble with Dr. Jeckyl.

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:29:00 -0400

Today, Chapters 35-36!!! Recipe: No-Knead Bread - New York Times, a blogpost on the NY Times bread, Oatmeal Toasting Bread (?!), whole wheat beer bread (mmmm), and the original beer bread (this is what I'm eating while recording...) wish you were here! And my new fave blog: The Runcible Bin. I am in love. Followed by Plenty magazine's website. Love it! Here's some green-but-economically-friendly tips, help to find healthy produce in your area, and here's Victory Garden info. Love the garden! Here's to canning! Cheers! Wendy is hosting a FinishItUp contest. It runs from Monday, November 17 at noon Pacific time through Friday, December 12th at noon Pacific time. Check out her blog for more information! And, just a headsup--chapter 36 might get you teary--not HUGEly teary, but for those of you who've experienced familial sadness recently...you might just want to skip to 1 hour 2 minutes* and hear my summation. And apologies about the faux length of the episode. It's really only an hour and four or so minutes, but it took two days to export the audio to mp3 format (yeah, when I figure this out, someone should give me a prize--I have NO idea) so as soon as I figure out the problem, I'll cut the episode back down to reality and repost it. You'll never notice, but I thought I should tell you. *yeah, so I can't tell time...so does it really matter? HA!

You'll hear me nearly not at all for the next few. Between the UofA starting (oooooh Rhetoric!) and my son's surgery, I'm tapped out. However, my stupendously cool roomie from the cruise selflessly volunteered herself (and possibly Jennie the Potter) to speak for me. This, I thought to myself, is way, way cool. Brief updates: visit Meg's Etsy site, gear yourself up to read chapters of The Scarlet Letter. I'll be announcing a "go" time, when I'll post a thread to Ravelry and ya'll can pick chapters. I. Am. So. Excited. Huge thanks to listeners Sonserae (who is beyond generous and shares my geek-love of all things animated), Jenny of EmJayKnits (who is simply the best for fearlessly entering the realm of teaching knitting) and listener Karen for the awesome allergy-and-yogurt article (I'll find it and post it...soon). The short version: eat probiotics if you have allergies. And o blast—some fabulous persons (claim it in the comments!) sent in this new-to-me podcast and kewl Dickens site! Take a look!

Boil in two quarts of white wine vinegar, half a pound of ginger slightly bruised, two oundes of whole black pepper, and half a pound of mustard-seed; take them from the fire and pour the directly on the lemons; cover the jar with a plate, and let them remain until the following day, then add to the pickle half a dozen capsicums (or a few chilies, if more convenient), and tie a skin and a fold of thick paper over the jar.

66: End of A Tale of Two Cities

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 23:26:00 -0400

First, once again, HUGE thanks to Julie who allowed me a much needed period of rest last week before the madness began again this week. I hope y'all scoot over to listen to Forgotten Classics too! (That Heyer woman is a hoot!) Things I rambled about: Kohlberg's Morality Stages (I mentioned this before, right? It's soooo kewl!), anaphora, Iago. And next...Tristan and Isolde! The High Drama of Chivalric Romance Will Commence! BUT WAIT! There's More! Julie, our guest host, had this to say about 300: Now, about 300. It is NOT like the Terminator movies. For one thing the photography is a thing of beauty even if you don't like the movie. For another, yes there is a lot of shouting and sword fighting but the emphasis is on love of a husband and wife for each other, for their family, their city, their country and their culture. Drawn in broad terms, granted, but we ARE talking about Spartans here. Not a lot of subtlety. As well as the comic book version. Also not known for subtlety. However, when we began watching it, it was clear that this movie was being drawn in heroic, epic terms. That made me instantly think of how the Spartans themselves would have thought and told the story ... in fact, the story is being told by a Spartan. Watching the whole movie as being seen through their eyes made the movie entirely enjoyable for me, as well as those themes mentioned above. Heavens, look at how much I wrote. Not that I'm passionately defending it or anything! :-D So! I stand corrected...and definitely intrigued!

Tonight we begin book three. Tomorrow I conduct a new (surprise) interview. You'll not believe who... I'm starting a blogroll of supporter/subscribers, so if you've sent in a donation and have a blog, please let me know so I can link to it! I fight (and beat?) the specter of grammar education—and exhaust my wussy self in the process! Ooh, and go here to see a Dragoon. NICE uniform! Here's David Brin's Earth. Some wild art for you! And just a little quote to compare someone we all know with the French Revolution: "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." by: Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father drafted the Declaration of Independence 3rd US President Source: November 13, 1787, letter to William S. Smith, quoted in Padover's Jefferson On Democracy

That won't make any sense otherwise!) Disclaimer for this week's episode below.

I have two...will you be the third?! Send 'em in. Don't be shy! Oh, and Chapters 21 and 22 of Book the Second! But, sadly, no Chip or Andy...not this week. They'll be back though. Promise! Don't forget to check out Julie's podcast! *The 411: $500 will be awarded as First place for both calendars; there are also 2nd and 3rd place prizes; and all contributors whose patterns are used will receive a 2009 calendar. Please go to our website at http://www.knittingpatternaday.com and learn more about the submission requirements and our contest. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will gladly answer your questions. You can also download the informational PDF if you're interested. Good luck--and let me know if you win!!! Disclaimer: The "teacher as martyr" reference comes from an article I read years ago--and an idea that's still being discussed--that teachers are only "allowed" to fall into two categories: martyrs and saints. It went on to say that in any other profession this would be unacceptable, but that for some reason, teachers tend to work (and work well) within those confines. Which means when they no longer have the time or energy to be either, they have to quit. I am not saying that all teachers are martyrs, just that there are some (myself included) who fit that category. There are others (rarely ELA teachers) who manage to have a life and be a teacher. I could never find the balance. Follow up with this entry from Michael Fullan's book, Change Forces.

And, finally, I have to share my Sock Yarn Love from Katie's store (this is Desert Olive and Sincerity in the Juliet yarn, 75% superwash and 25% nylon...and it's so soft you'll wonder where they hid the nylon...). Yay Katie! And a belated thank you to Rachael who dyed some sock yarn for me--gorgeous Kool Aid colors! MORE SOCKS! Whoo hoo!

Our humble podcast has been graced by the Editor-in-Chief of SoHo Publishing's Knit.1 magazine Adina Klein (SoHo also does Vogue Knitting and Knit Simple). Aside from being awful fun to talk to, Adina is a knitter, crocheter, painter, sketcher, purveyor of fine books (new ones!), and--my fave--a Nationally Ranked Scrabble Champ. Really! How cool is that!?! We might get a chance to talk to her again later this year. I'll keep you posted. So, kick back, enjoy a peek into the secret world of Knitting Mag creation, then go get yourself a copy of Knit.1's new Green Issue. Chock full-a good stuff. And for those who are non-knitters (I know you're out there!) you may want to take a look at the instructions at the back of the magazine. They're so clear, it may convince you to pick up some pointy sticks. Me? I'm off to weave for a bit. No, really!

I'm about to head out to see the oral surgeon AGAIN. My mouth is still stuffed with gauze and my head is stuffed iwth Vicodan (which, sadly, ain't workin' too well). So. Today it's just the chapters. I'm sorry about that, but I'll post what tidbits I can here. And, honestly, you wouldn't be able to understand me talk about these chapters a sadder note, my friend Jeannie Townsend (of sock creating fame) who has given away literally thousands of sock patterns for free, is now supporting son and grandson (this would be the third grandchild she and her DH are raising!!). She is now trying to pay the light bill by selling a sock pattern. She's able to accept PayPal for $5 to JeanTownsend [at] earthlink [dot] net. Let her know in the note line that you'd like the Gold Sock Pattern. She also donated a sock pattern which now comes free with the purchase of yarn from the Astrid Dutch Obsessions web site. Some interesting info from Sandi (who, like me, should take up a collection for an OED): I was just listening to episode 48, and I was curious about the last line in Congratulatory, which describes the winding sheet of the candle dripping onto Carton's sleeve. I got that it's an obvious omen of death, but I just couldn't wrap my head around how it would be possible to combine a burial shroud and a candle. So, I did a little internet searching and found this explanation: [a] mass of solidified drippings of grease clinging to the side of a candle, resembling a sheet folded in creases, and regarded in popular superstition as an omen of death or calamity (OED). Apparently, in Scottish tradition the same association is made between candle drippings and death: "The common tallow candle in burning often gutters, and the tallow runs over the edge and down the side of the candle. It soon hardens. When the flame consumes the candle, at times the little column formed by the gutter is left standing unconsumed on the edge of the candle. It is called a "coffin-spehl," and is looked upon with suspicion as portending a death in the family at no very distant period." Based on those two bits of folklore, I'm guessing that there is an association between candle drippings and burial shrouds because: a) the creased wax simply resembles the cloth of a shroud, and b) this creased wax is what remains of the candle after the flame has burnt out, the extinguishing of light, of course, being symbolic of death. And then, there's today's chapters, Book 2, chapters 6, 7, 8. Chapter 6: All About Foreshadowing--really. Nothing should be taken for mere "filler" in this chapter. Miss Pross and Mister Lorry are lovely here, and Lucie, you may notice, is in fact the "Golden Thread" that improves all it touches throughout the book. She's almost an archetype--certainly not a 'real' woman, but an important tool that Dickens is using in the book. Chapter 7: Back to France. Pay close, close attention here. We get a little Madame Defarge here (I wonder what she'd knit?) and while this whole chapter reads like it's an extended metaphor or symbol or grand allegorical moment--it's not. Well...it doesn't hurt to see it that way, but sadly, these guys are real. This is an ugly chapter, meant to parallel the earlier chapter of the wine cask breaking in the streets. Dickens may not like what the mob is up to, but he has no love of the aristocracy either (remember, he wasn't born rich himself). As always with Dickens, whenever he gives you a physical description--listen closely. It's a representative of the person's soul. And speaking of souls, listen for the corruption of these men's relationship with God. Some words for this chapter: escutcheon the shield of a family crest. "the merry Stuart who sold it" That was Charles II. Convulsionists Um...think "Holy Rollers," an ecstatic religious group Palace of the Tuileries Louis and Marie-Antoinette's digs in Paris. Chapter 8: Lovely guy, eh? Note more red symbolism. And WHO exactly is coming to call at the end of the chapter? Hmmmm? Some words here: the heavy drag a carriage brake the chase the hunt the chain of the shoe chain connected to the brake (shoe) And then, of course, my heart goes out to the poor students and families at Virginia Tech. I'd like to think that this finally will get us to deal with mental illness responsibly...but I think I know us too well at this point. We'll treat this guy like a freak, and the next time a teacher comes forward and says, "I have a kid in my class who needs help." that teacher will be told: a) if he hasn't made a threat, there's nothing we can do b) you're blowing this all out of proportion c) you're white and he's (fill in the color) and everyone'll just think you're racist d) we can't lock someone up for something they might do e) look, they're just kids. They say dumb things. And the kids who need help will continue to go it alone. Makes me cry.

49: Chapters 13-14 - A Tale of Two Cities

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 17:06:00 -0400

And So It Goes... I recorded last night and woke up today to find that Kurt Vonnegut passed away last night. It's like my own personal Mark Twain died. So sad. I started reading Vonnegut when I was in fifth grade. My parents let me read almost all of his books (except Player Piano) and I literally wolfed them down--most of them I've reread at some point. He wrote a two page "how to write" flyer that I THINK is still in my box of "school junk". Brilliant. I'm so sorry he's not public domain. We wont be able to listen to him here, but I so deeply urge you to pick up something he wrote. Slaughterhouse Five (riffs on his experiences IN a Dresden meat locker (!) during our (secret) WWII bombing campaign) or Cat's Cradle (riffs on life, the universe, and everything) are good places to start. "See?...no damn cat...no damn cradle..." Back to Craftlit: I am sad about Vera; don't forget your shirt; check out some neat yarn stores (now and pending) I came across; a cool thimble; nifty blogs to read; a Knitty Coffeeshop (no really); a knitalong for this (which I covet); and more on the mysterious "Hilary Term".

48: Chapters 11-12 - A Tale of Two Cities

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:05:00 -0400

We have a SHIRT! Take pics of yo' bad self in a shirt and send the pics to me! I'll post them on the blog...just don't expect one of me on that new glass walk-way over the Grand Canyon ! And, please visit to support Katie who has "shirted" us. And Carrie left this note: More random information for you - the Bedlam mental hospital in London still exists - it is now a building called Salisbury House off London Wall and Finsbury Circus in central London and houses several law firms' offices among other things including the London office of the company I work for! (you might say not much change there then!). Although the office parts have been altered and updated the stairwells are still much as I imagine they always have been complete with tiled walls and it is a very strange mixture of a building to walk around in. My First Sock-Swap (or, Just Call Me Sucker). And who wouldn't want a Ron Weasley Cell Phone Cover? And, FUN! "With over a million hits to StitchNPitch.com in its first few months, we knew this program was going to be something special," Patty Parrish, Executive Director of TNNA, explains. "Stitch N' Pitch is sweeping the Nation. The response from baseball Clubs, the needlearts industry and fans is overwhelming. Stitch N' Pitch creates a unique and fun environment for families, singles, couples, old, young, kids, women and yes, even men!" Watch carefully and you might "catch" a knitting contest, team mascots wearing handmade colorful scarves, images of men knitting, counted cross-stitch frames, teaching tables full of children learning how to needlepoint, a Ceremonial 1st Pitch with a ball of yarn and so much more!! Special Stitch N' Pitch gift bags, giveaways and surprises will round out each fantastic event. Local needlearts retailers, wholesalers, guilds and groups will come by car, bus and train to be a part of this new American phenomenon - Stitch N' Pitch!

47: Chapter 9-10 - A Tale of Two Cities

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 05:19:00 -0400

I've cleaned up the craft room! Can I get an "Amen"? And I've got more Chip for you today! And I've got a lot of cooking to do! Good thing that deadline is past! We weigh in on Mdm. DeF's knitting choices, Cast on for Kenya, and generally enjoy some more Dickens! NOTE: There may be the same problem with this week's file. Try downloading again...sorry! The Kenya Info: HIV positive children in Kenya need blankets to keep them warm at night and to keep fever at bay, and also simply to have a soft, comforting object of their very own. These children own almost nothing, and a blanket handmade with care especially for them would show them that someone, even someone very far away, cares. This blanket drive is part of the Slum Doctor Program, a grassroots organization whose mission is "to lift the burden of despair for people impacted by AIDS in Africa by providing hope, medicine, food, education, and dignity." For more information visit slumdoctor.wordpress.com. We're asking that blankets be made of a natural fiber or high quality acrylic, so they will be easy to keep clean, and that they be sized for children ages 0-8. We're also asking that if you do plan to cast on for Kenya, you email slumdoctor@gmail.com. The blankets will be brought to Kenya by volunteers, and they need to have an estimate of how many they will be carrying with them. The deadline for donations is June 15th. Finished blankets should be sent to the Slum Doctor Program, P.O. Box 2156, Bellingham, WA 98227-2156.

46: Chapters 7-8 - A Tale of Two Cities

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 03:32:00 -0400

Gotta love the old OED. If only I could afford one... In my quest for a Parisian/Dickensian map, I found this, and this, and this, but no map that would help us much. But I did find the links to two video versions: the better reviewed of the two—GO CHRIS SARANDON (he's more than just a Humperdink!); and this one which didn't get panned, but...well...BOO Bad hair miniseries! Your challenge! WWMDK? I feel a Cafe Press T-shirt coming on...don't you? Wouldn't this be handsome? With a big: What Would Madame Defarge Knit? blazing underneath? And me? I knit socks. Even in line at a theme park. And I think I may have to get a Weavette. Bad Heather.

45: Chapters 5-6 - A Tale of Two Cities

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 01:26:00 -0400

WWMDfK? O how I want a bumper sticker! And hey--ANDY MINTER! What a mensch, eh? I belive I promised you links to Antioch Univeristy, MicroRevolt and the KnitPro doohicky, and Heavenly Creatures. And now? Off to La Disneylandia!

44: Chapters 3-4 - A Tale of Two Cities

Fri, 09 Mar 2007 04:59:00 -0400

O how many different ways can I bring you joy? Really, only one way: To bring Chip (Mister Sleepy Hollow to you) back as a reader. Today BOTH chapters are his. Love! Happily my husband's not even jealous...maybe because I've not told him. Hmmmm... Little else to show for myself this week, unless you want me to upload some of the curriculum I'm on deadline for? No? I have no idea why! Erqsome (who I think has the most kickin' email address I've seen) sent some great Dickensian links for us to enjoy. A Finnish site. A UCSC site. An INCREDIBLE map page (must see!). And the ToTC companion page to the map. Things I had to cut: Perhaps the coolest thing to come off of my SnB callendar EVER. My son's gonna be on this! (but we have no idea when...) And just 'cuz I'm feelin' it...I love these guys...

43: Chapters 1-2 - A Tale of Two Cities

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 03:36:00 -0400

Tale of Two Cities - chapters 1 & 2 You'll need to know a few things, like... What's a blunderbuss? This, this is a blunderbuss. This is Chuck. Who was Mrs. Southcott? She was an English spiritualist. What was the Cock-Lane Ghost? One of the first ever psychic scams. Read about it. You'll find MANY different versions on the web. This is the issue of Spin-Off that I need two bloody pages from...here's the Sock thing from Stasia which I thought was very helpful. Check out Pandora and Last.fm And in both the "any publicity is good publicity" and the "I've never heard of an idea so dangerous it couldn't be talked about" departments: the Librarians have lost their minds! Anyone remember Are You There God? It's Me Margaret? Anyone? Anyone? And if you have the travel bug: West Coast Folks. East Coast Folks. Fun! And don't forget: WWMDFK? (What Would Madame DeFarge Knit?) Think on't. Thanks to our readers Michael Sirois and Kara Shalinberg. And, finally: Spinneret's cogent and I think important note on "Screw": From various sources - As in England, early lawmakers in this country adopted 10 as the age of consent. The age of consent in England was raised from 12 (which is what it was when James was born in 1843) to 13 in 1875 and then to 16 in 1886. The Factory Act from 1844 reduced the hours of work for children between 8 and 13 to six and a half a day, either in the morning or afternoon, no child being allowed to work in both on the same day, except on alternate days, and then only for ten hours The Factory Act, 1891 raising the minimum age at which a child can be set to work from ten to eleven. So the perspective on children was a little different at that point, T.O.T.S. (funny that) being published in 1898. Accepting that these children are not from the working class they still would not have fallen under the societal view as young innocents. Thanks for the great read.

CRAFTLIT - START A TALE OF TWO CITIES HERE

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 03:00:00 -0400

Buckle up your metaphorical horse-drawn carriages because we are diving headfirst into Charles Dickens' masterpiece: A Tale of Two Cities! So, get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, fascinating insights, and a good ol' dose of Dickensian charm! The best part? You don't even need a passport, just a love for literature and a sprinkle of curiosity!

42: The Last of the Regionalists...Vive la Revolution!

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 05:30:00 -0400

A shout out to SyrenMuse who sent me the link to the Little House on the Praire DVD! Who knew! ABC was such a punk when I asked them nicely if they'd be releasing it. I had no idea they listened to me! Maybe your library will have it... This week we end with our American Regional writers, Sarah Orne Jewett, 1849-1909, though we won't be listening to her best-known book, The Country of the Pointed Firs. Instead we'll hear her short story, "The White Heron" written in 1886-ish. And thanks too, to WingLake who sent this explanatory article, and this amazingly cool site that I've signed up for! I think I'll be leaving some wrist warmers and water colors at undisclosed locations around the Old Pueblo. You? Rhinebeck Plans...it's never too early to make a date with fiber. And it's never too late to save a little bit of your own personal environment (not to mention cash...which you can then spend on fiber...). Next week we'll start our new novel (drum roll...how appropriate!) A Tale of Two Cities. With apologies to Mr. Piccone (my freshman year English teacher). A knitting font (and amazing celtic knot weaving pattern to boot!), another knitting font (can you ever really have too many?), a phenomenal You Tube addition, and a reminder to read Spindlicity (hey Janel!)

41: A Regional Twain

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 23:42:00 -0400

Regionalism! America! "oooooooh beautiful, for spacious skies..." (I can't think of that without hearing Fozzy Bear say "patriotism swells in the heart of the American Bear!" as he does after singing that song on The Muppet Movie soundtrack.) Twain --boy do I love him--who is an appropriate precursor to our next novellist (I think). Teresa in Scotland (Go Clan MacPhearson!) wanted me to pass on these links to you: first, two mosquito attacking SAFE products. She recommends a leave-on product rather than a soap or shampoo...especially for people like me who are Mosquito Magnets. And second, a new soysilk site. Mmmmmmm...extruded protein! Love it!

40: Meet Calamity...Doris?

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 14:53:00 -0400

Having finished with Henry James, I thought we needed a REAL woman to freshen our pallette...Calamity Jane. Not so much Doris. Don't know if you've watched Deadwood (NOT for sensitive ears!), but it at least started out close to accurate as far as I can tell. My son and I got to see Wild Bill and Jane's graves when we drove through there in early August. We ate where Bill was killed by Jack McCall--which sounds more morbid than it is...he was killed in the poker room of a saloon. They stage reenactments of his murder every night, I think. Jane was quite something. CHEERS! And here in the "costume" of her sex. I'm sorry it's a guy reading the autobiography, but it's still amazing to hear her own words. She was one tough cookie. And while she has the reputation for being, um...not the most attractive woman of her time, I think she was actually a rather handsome woman--far less...weathered than I would have imagined for one of Custer's scouts. And then a little Bret Harte For some more local color and American Realism. Let's bring ourselves back from the mannered Victorian brink into a little good old American...Puritanism? Victorianism? Ah... When everyone knew their place... And then some really cool links sent by really cool listeners like Spider_Knit who sent me the Library Thing and Dawn who sent the Purlescence Storytellers Challenge and PeaceFleece! Whoo hoo! WARNING: Some of you were good enough to let me know pronto that there was a problem with the file. I fixed the glitch in the audio file and replaced it, but not before some podcatchers downloaded it. Sorry about that. If you re-download you should be fine. Many apologies!

Episode Thirty-nine: As Far As The Screw Can Turn

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 19:17:00 -0400

Some things you didn't hear me talk about; some things you did. And the end of the book! The Librarian's Lament (don't you loathe hearing, "yeah, that's just your opinion..." when someone says something like, "the world isn't flat!"), and a killer library. Some things to do in the spring to help make the world a less polluted place...why can't they just make a kit!?! A Manifesto I can get behind. Freaky shark! Buy yarn here for the rest of January (in case you hadn't seen the Yarn Harlot's post--it's #5). And Teresa sent this link which tempted her even though she doesn't knit (Hey, Teresa, check out the Winter Spin-Off for some embroidery ideas! You could hookup with a spinner/felter/knitter!) My sister has asked me to knit her a special hat. Sadly, the pdf of the pattern is AWOL so I may have to begin my first adventure in faking a pattern. Whoo hoo! A list of courses Ruth alerted me to can be found here. No college credit, but MY! MY! look at the listings! And, of course, next week (if I'm available) we'll hear some short stories while we decide what to read next!

38: Chs 18–20 Turn of the Screw

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 17:51:00 -0400

First: Turn of the Screw - Chapters 18-19-20! Second: Stephanie Pearl McPhee's SOAR interview. Whoo hoo! And the rest: Sock Darning. Nuff said. And worth mentioning again--the best Toe-Up cast-on in the WORLD! in my deeply biased opinion... Here's the article on the Ladies in Phoenix, knitting for the good of others...and themselves. And, from Julie: The Sci Phi Show--another philosophy podcast. Predictably enough the podcaster uses science fiction to launch each subject discussion. And Julie also wrote: since you've been into Weird Al Yankovich you might enjoy the novelty songs featured on the most recent Geek Survival Guide. The podcast is about 15 minutes long and the songs are fun. And Debra's Tallit with accompanying planning information: the bottom border was instinct with some Jewish numerology thrown in; the neckband was charted but also adapted the little "entry motif" before the zig-zag. I used a lot of combinations of 7 (Sam's birthday - 7/7/94, born at 10:10 a.m., and his bar mitzvah is 7/7/07 in the Western world) and C'hai - so there are 18 stitches in the zig-zag repeat, and I'll do 9 of them, which makes 18 of the triangles.... And where she got the Qiviut: The yarn in the tallit is qiviut, which I found not in Alaska where I grew up, but online from Caryll's Designs. And...the (unblocked) neverending cable. This is a side view of the (did I mention unblocked?) hood. The color actually came out pretty close to true on this one. Go figure!

37: Chs 15–17 Turn of the Screw

Fri, 12 Jan 2007 04:35:00 -0400

Today, Chapters 15, 16 AND 17! WHOO HOO! Today I have some fun silkworm links, some pretty pics of the Pysanky eggs by Jen (who is very, very, very prolific while listening), some pics of intersting historical spindles, and some lip from Julie! Tee hee! Julie absolutely rightfully called me on the carpet for my anti-governess bias, so here's my rec. Go listen to the last episode, last chapter, with a different ear (that would be at roughly 47 minutes into episode 36). Then keep listening to today's chapters. Yeah...Julie has a point. I'll also let you in on some things Ol' Henry himself had to say about the book. I may also share some of ELOISE in Paris (okay, NEXT week...) and remind you that really, truly, I loathe being a single Mom. ¿Donde esta mi esposo? And some helpful info from Jen: pysanky (piz·ahnk·yeh) is the name of those Ukrainian/polish eggs. singular = pysanka Kiska (pl = Kisky) is the name of the stylus thingie. She also says: if you like Weird Al, you might be interested in The Apologetix. they are a Christian parody group that does Christian remakes of pop songs just like Weird Al. Oh! And don't forget to visit Ms Stitchy McYarnPants!

36: Chs 12–14 Turn of the Screw

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 04:48:00 -0400

Today's theme is "Honi Soit qui Mal y Pense" which comes to us from a (probably apocryphal) story about King Edward III and the Order of the Garter. A rough translation is "Shame to him who thinks ill of it" but my AP English teacher used it as "Evil will be seen by those who look for it." Actually he may have had a different famous French quote, but I took Spanish so I wouldn't recognize a the real quote if it walked up and shook my hand. ANYway... Today we have chapters 12-14. On my needles and on my son's walls today... And how are your toes? Hmm? Does your sunscreen have: formulas that include ingredients — like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or Mexoryl SX — that impede damage from the sun's longer wavelength UVA rays, a protective effect that is not indicated by a product's SPF rating. And if you're interested in more on Mosquito bites, check out: Herbal Medicine site or the WebMD page or something my sister found on Google. And some chairty/sock 411 from Jenny M. many thanks. You can also check out Knitting Peace. Cheers for Store Wars and Weird Al! And a special thank you to Cindy, the generous Park Slope Blogger (ah, the Motherland).

35: Chs 10–11 Turn of the Screw

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 21:46:00 -0400

Well, we're having the first winter storm of the season. The mountains are capped with snow, the sky is grey, it's 39° (I hear you..."Hey! It's the DESERT! What's with the snow and temperature?!"), and the day is bleeding ennui. Not least because my husband is here and I'm here (though it's much greyer today). But Ennui and Turn of the Screw go well together so no complaints...much. Today, chapters 10-11. You won't BELIEVE what happens today! Ai yi yi! Charity knitting! Fixes to the Blogspot site! Felted Doggy Toys! More funny things! Holiday presents of fibery knitty things! (Does he love me or is he just feeling guilty for spending New Year's in Paris with his Brother and Dad?) Was Santa good to you!? Many thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw.

34: Chs 8–10

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 03:49:00 -0400

Nina sent this very helpful, eminently bookmarkable link to help me with mosquito bites. There's actually a lot of great info here...and this site has a very interesting looking hand/foot/everything cream. Lotions just don't work on me. If it doesn't say "cream" I don't buy it. Well, I bought it and thank you Nina! And, here's my attempt to rekindle a love of Weird Al...Yoda! Many thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw.

33: Chs 6–7 Turn of the Screw

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 15:48:00 -0400

This week--Chapters 6-7! Okay, and you're not really strangers but y'all sure are kind! Some fun with You Tube and Dante Julie's socks (whoo hoo!) and 1400 A.D. knit pic More Organic info from Dawn (worth a look-see)! Seventh Generation and Land Stewardship Project Janet's pomo fun And then--That Darn Governess and her latent class and boy issues!!! BTW: we didn't have time for these which I got off of a Knitter's Review forum. Did you know these superstitions: ** It's bad luck to leave a project unfinished. The intended recipient will get bad luck from the unfinished item. ** Stabbing your needles though your yarn balls brings bad luck to anyone who wears something made from that yarn. ** Don't knit a pair of socks for your boyfriend or he'll walk away from you. ** If you knit one of your own hairs into a garment, it will bind the recipient to you. ** Knitting for children you may have in the future, but before you are pregnant, is bad luck (it may prevent one from getting pregnant, or bring ill health to the baby). And Interesting Latvian beliefs about mittens 1. Mittens and socks should be knitted in summer, then they will be warm, soft and strong. 2. One should not wash new mittens when there is an old moon, they will lose their color and let through the wind. 3. One should not wipe their nose in a mitten. Whoever does that never gets rich. 4. One should not give their hand to another with a mitten on, otherwise they will give away their luck. and, again, thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw.

32: Chs 4–5 Turn of the Screw

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 05:00:00 -0400

You should also check out Stephanie/Lumie's blog (gorgeous work!) Then go here and get smart, RIGHT NOW! After expanding your brain, you can crack yourself up with my friend Peter on his podcast. Don't forget to get your SantaCon on! When you're done with that, embrace your inner Earth Mother and find out the skinny on Organics. And in today's chapters, listen for the allusion to Jane Eyre that ol' Henry snuck into the first minute of this chapter. As we continue our governess will continue to show her true colors--not a pretty picture. And today's chapters reveal a bit more of James' brilliance. The Governess--who may still be nuts--does see someone who looks like Peter Quint. She had seen no pictures of him, but describes him to Mrs. Grose--well enough for her to identify the vision. Of course, the problem is...he's dead. So, the mystery deepens... Many thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw. Oh, and I've moved all the links to previous episodes to the right side of the blog page at Craftlit.blogspot.com. There was a question as to why the files are so blasted big, and I'll tell you--I'd like to know that too! I'm working on it...

31: Chs 2–3 Turn of the Screw

Fri, 17 Nov 2006 23:12:00 -0400

(Apologies although I blathered quite a bit anyway...) This week, chapters 2-3! More Amazing Crochet from Dawn, some victorian pruditry, more wonderful emails from y'all, how to be an ostritch rather than a governess, and a little background on our author. His dad was a Swedenborgian (say THAT three times fast) and I thought--when working through the "ghost" question--this quotation was ellucidating: Although James had rejected in the beginning of his career "spirit-rappings and ghost-raising", in the 1880s he become interested in the unconscious and the supernatural. In 1908 he wrote that "Peter Quint and Miss Jessel are not 'ghosts' at all, as we now know the ghost, but goblins, elves, imps, demons as loosely constructed as those of the old trials for whichcraft; if not, more pleasingly, fairies of the legendary order, wooing their victims forth to see them dance under the moon." Virginia Woolf thought that Henry James's ghost have nothing in common with the violent old ghosts - "the blood-stained captains, the white horses, the headless ladies of dark lanes and windy commons." Edmund Wilson was convinced that the story was "primarily intended as a characterization of the governess". Then there's the "corruption" question. Ah...the tangled web... ALERT: I just this second got this email from MaryBeth--right after uploading the 'Cast. Darnit. But it's worth noting here: Loved your comments on the Fog Index. I'm a technical editor, and I have the following quote by Melville on my wall at work: "A man of true science uses but few hard words, and only those when none other will serve his purpose; whereas the smatterer in science thinks that by mouthing hard words he proves that he understands hard things." Is that not brilliant?! I love Melville...but I'm not gonna do Moby Dick...not for a couple of years, anyway. See how I love you? Many thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw.

30: Ch 1 Turn of the Screw

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 03:21:00 -0400

Cool things to check out: Crochet Sea Creatures not to be believed (Thank you Dawn!), Check out Yarn-a-go-go's site and then check into NaNoWriMo! It's not too late! Then there's The Thread Project (One World, One Cloth), and I ran out of time to talk about My Paper Crane from Heidi. I'll never do this to you. Here's Henry, by the way: By Unknown photographer - taken from the frontispiece of Short Story Classics (American) Volume Three, edited by William Patten, copyright 1905, printed by P.F. Collier & Son. Photographer unknown. Scanned by English Wikipedian, MakeRocketGoNow., Public Domain, Link I think you'll need this over the next few weeks.: Character List Anonymous Narrator Probably represents Henry James. (Diagetic Level 1) Douglas The one in possession of the Governess' manuscript. He may have been in love with her. (Diagetic Level 2) The Governess The protagonist--twenty-year-old governess of Flora and Miles at the country estate of Bly. (Diagetic Level 3) Mrs. Grose A servant at Bly; illiterate, respectful. Miles A ten-year-old boy; charming, well-behaved, and very attractive. Flora An eight-year-old girl; beautiful and well mannered. The Children's Uncle The governess's employer; good looking, but aloof with odd requirements for the job... Peter Quint A former valet at Bly; "infamous" throughout the area of Bly. Miss Jessel The governess's predecessor; a lady, young and beautiful, but "infamous," apparently had an inappropriate relationship with Quint. May thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw. If you check out her site, you'll see why she's so good... except for that blasted microphone...

CRAFTLIT - START THE TURN OF THE SCREW HERE

Sleepy Hollow, part 3! Apologies! The original audio to this show was recorded—I believe—as my mic was dying. I've tried to remaster the hiss out, but couldn't get it all. However, the entire "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has been re-recorded and remastered and, along with a few other Halloweenie kinds of stories, appears in the Crafting-a-Life Shoppe. I think I promised you pics of a skull jacket that I knit. I forgot to mention that my 17 hour sojurn did give me the time to finish the baby hoodie. The carpet under the jacket, just so you know, is the floor of the Samsung Comfort Room at the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport. Very comforting, no? 'Nuff said. Here's the back: Here's the front: Ain't that grand? Next week, SOAR audio (if there's a high-speed port) and after that, HENRY JAMES! The time has finally come! Book talk begins at 22:20. Listen to 28 audio.

Sleepy Hollow, part 2! The entire "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has been re-recorded and remastered and, along with a few other Halloweenie kinds of stories, appears in the Crafting-a-Life Shoppe. Skeeter Syndrome, and why I hate reserchers...well...not hate...but really strongly prefer the applied sciences... Allergic reaction to mosquito bites identified for first time—"skeeter syndrome" MILWAUKEE—Bug bites are a standard annoyance for those who spend time outside during the summer months. The consequence for most is uncomfortable swelling and itching at the site of the bite for a short period of time. However, young children, immune deficient persons and those previously unexposed to mosquitoes are at increased risk for a severe reaction to mosquito bites according to a study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Canadian researchers recently identified this reaction as "skeeter syndrome," defined as mosquito-bite induced large, local inflammatory reactions accompanied by fever. Large local reactions to mosquito bites are under diagnosed and sometimes assumed to be infectious in nature when in fact, they are the result of an allergic reaction. In this study, researchers studied five healthy children between the ages of two and four with no history of allergy to insect bites. Each had been diagnosed with cellulitis, a bacterial infection of the skin and tissue that is usually found on the face, neck or legs. The children developed extreme redness, swelling, warmth and inflammation within hours of a witnessed mosquito bite. Several months later the children were tested for allergy to mosquito. Blood tests confirmed that the children had been misdiagnosed: the symptoms they experienced were the result of an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite, not cellulitis. People with skeeter syndrome should minimize their exposure to mosquitoes to avoid experiencing an adverse reaction. It is important to increase the awareness of skeeter syndrome so those affected can avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures and antibiotic treatments. [From: "Skeeter syndrome." J Allergy Clin Immunol 1999;104: 705-707.] The SCA has my hat (I think)! Maybe I should engage in Guerrilla Knitting? Governess Gone Goth WEAVING!?!?! Orange Juice Carton Basket Tragic Crafting... But more importantly: Why don't the folks on Survivor start studying how to do this THE SECOND they send their application in??? Cheap sock blockers for those of us with less dough than fiber. Tucson, Meet Yourself! No, meet YOUR self. No really, meet...em...the food was great. And, I promised you Hessians. So here: These Hessians.... not so much this one... APOLOGIES! Dateline: Dallas, TX, 3:00am, Terminal C7, Samsung hospitality lounge. I flew to NYC to surprise my husband on our 10th Anniversary, and am currently stuck in D-FW airport (grrrrrrr) at 3AM. I was supposed to be home five hours ago. Don't get me started...just please know that your podcast page was supposed to be up a long while ago. The Libsyn page should have loaded though, on Thursday, and the rss feed should have dumped the 'cast onto iTunes. At least, that's what I set it up to do... I'll get the little GCast player up on this site ASAP. Thank's for your patience! B ook talk begins at 15:50. Listen to 27 audio.

25: Beauty and the Beast

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 18:01:00 -0400

Yeah, But it's a Dry Heat, Right? Don't try this at home--eye-scraping dry eye! EW! This week! Beauty and the Beast. No, not this one Or this one This one! (sort of...) By the woman with the long French name (that would be Jeanne Marie Le Prince de Beaumont). And, more on Bettleheim and Kohlberg...and a world lit only by fire. And, drum roll...the Faroese as it stands now... Soon, there will be an updated pic for that too. Thanks to Tina for reading this week and Joshua Christian who is my hero. The gorgeous Allison spindle from The Spindle Guy! And an UPDATE on our Craftlit Completions Gallery! Take a look at the GORGEOUS yarn Aimee in NJ has spun and dyed. These colors are amazing! And don't forget to visit beautiful Bisbeeland, Arizona! And an UPDATED update! (dateline--10/5/06). I finished the shawl. It was nothing but a pile of goo when I was done. Then I washed it and threaded my own do-it-yerself lace wire through it (18 guage picture wire) and WOW IS THAT SUCKER BIG!!! It's taking up the entire length of a twin-size bed. I'd seen other evidence of this on blogs, but to see it live and in person—it's a thing of beauty and a joy forever (or as long as it lasts, I guess...). Now if I can just dye it... If I can get my 6-year-old to hold the camera still enough I'll get a pic of it on. And an UPDATED update of my update (dateline 10-9-06): Thank you Heidi! How wonderful to get such an unexpected goodie box! I'm actually ditching my work today to read Spinning Designer Yarns while listening to "76 Trombones". You have no idea how much I needed that lift today. Thank you! Book talk begins at 15.08. Listen to 25 audio.

024: "The Yellow Wallpaper"

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 04:59:00 -0400

This week we listen to "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, and a little bit of "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. Gillman (here she is) is a particular favorite of mine. She wrote Herland which I'm (slowly) reading for Librivox. Great little book! Juster is a freakin' genius. Really! I can't read nearly as much of his book as I'd like, but (here HE is) I will introduce you to this decidedly not just-for-children book. Thanks for your patience getting this 'cast out. Long week. Visit Jen! Today, "The Yellow Wallpaper" was read by Justine Young, and "The Phantom Tollbooth" excerpt was read by Yours Truly. If you'd like to hear Heather perform "The Yellow Wallpaper", please visit Chilling Tales for Dark Nights, November 2015. And, as always, our opening music was provided by Joshua Christian at Garageband.com, for which I am eternally grateful.

Today, chapters 56-59; THE PAYOFF!

018: chapters 53-55 - Pride and Prejudice

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 05:18:00 -0400

Today, aside from chapters 53-55, we talk about accordions, my love of the word "odious," (isn't it great?!) and I finally take Amy up on her suggestion weeks and weeks ago! Namely: I just read and really dug To Shield The Queen, by Fiona Buckley. Actually, I didn't just read that. I read the first three books in the series. I also have finished the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, but my books are in boxes so I can't read you any bits from that. However, if you love books, and have a wicked sense of humor, The Eyre Affair is for you! I'm thinking that instead of a poll, I just want everyone to look at the librivox.org cataloge and tell me what you like. I'll take the one with the most emails. I think I'll putter around with some of the short works first, just to give you some variety, then dive into another long book. Sound good? Email me your thoughts at MamaOKnits AT Gmail DOT com.

017: chapters 50-52 - Pride and Prejudice

Thu, 10 Aug 2006 22:14:00 -0400

I'm relegated to podcasting from my local coffeehouse again, sorry about that. The ambient noise is MUCH worse than before as this joint has tile floors--a local hazzard. Apologies. I should have DSL at my Mom's house by tonight, but I wanted to get this posted before that. I'm already mighty late by previous East Coast standards. The trip, however, was successful, and we're all here safe and sound. Though, this morning's news filled me with dread as my darling husband has to fly back to New York saturday morning. World War IV, is what I'm hearing. WWIII was the Cold War, according to People I Trust. Sigh... Can't we all just get along? Even 'Liz and Darcy? This week, chapters 50-52!

Chicago, Sioux Falls, Deadwood and on to LOVELAND COLORADO--home of Interweave Press.Well, it's August 3rd, and I'm on the road! Chicago, Sioux Falls, Deadwood and on to LOVELAND COLORADO--home of Interweave Press... How do I love thee...let me count the ways. So the title of the podcast? Because my son is a questioner...well...so am I, so...apples/trees, you get the picture. I fully expect this road trip to be one of fun and learning. The country is so big and so wonderful...I feel an Emily-from-Our-Town-Moment coming on! If there is internet access and time, you'll hear some audio from the road. If not, you'll notice this post popping up, and a small-ish podcast appearing in your iTunes ontime. Why? Because I love you!

15: Chs 44-46 Pride & Prejudice

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 04:01:00 -0400

This week, chapters 44-46! Really! A little OTN moment: I'm working on a Faroese shawl, which has only a little section of lace. I've knitted lace before, but this project...well, it was going to be hard enough; I didn't want to kill myself. This is the first project I've planned from washing, drying, and spinning the fiber, all the way to knitting. I'm going to do some funky dye thing to it when I'm done and I"m going to (God Willing and the Creeks Don't Rise) take this to SOAR for the gallery. But. The knitting is a total leap of faith. I've knitted 25 rows and it's barely 3-4 long. It's 390 stitches, decreasing regularly down to...well...7 that get grafted in a tricky way that I'm sure I'll marvel at when I get there. I got the pattern from Claudia at CountryWool.com. She's a genius with this stuff. Anyway. Lace and all things lace-weight are a leap of faith. They look like a ball of twisted blah, then you wet and pin them and suddenly it's...LORDY! I made THAT?! Right now, my whole life is a leap of faith...so it seemed an appropriate thing to do. And, btw, HEY, did you hear Cast-on's essay last week? It was as though we dovetailed our themes on purpose! Synchronicity? Love that Jung! Promos from Faith at The Knitting Cook, and Jeannie of Crochet Cast. As always, Pride and Prejudice is narrated by Annie Coleman.

014: chapters 42-44 - Pride and Prejudice

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 16:14:00 -0400

Chapters 42-45! WRONG WRONG WRONG! 43 was much longer than it said on the tag. This week we only have 42-44...but its an hour long episode regardles... Next week, chapters 44-??... Sorry about that! Well, I'm in the homestretch! This week and next week are the last two I'll be podcasting from Croton-on-Hudson...boy I'll need to change the intro, huh? I'll be podcasting from the road the week of August 1st, then from Tucson the next week. IF I can, I'll get my son in on the 'cast...but no guarantees. He's quite the ball-o-goof. So this week! A little discussion of ChickLit and Austen... Jane Austen's novels have been repackaged as chick-lit to reflect our modern conception of her as a romantic novelist. But her world is less comforting than we think, argues Laura Thompson... On 07/09/2006, Laura Thompson created a bit of a stir in the literary world when she said that Chicklit--the girlie romancified summer book lit that's gotten to be so popular among the young--had co-opted Jane Austen, and specifically, Pride and Prejudice. ...It all started in fine non-literary style: with Colin Firth. The scene in the 1995 television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice in which Colin got his shirt wet was, almost certainly, the moment that opened the door and let the modern world in upon the quiet, oil-lit writing desk at Chawton Cottage. And when Firth played Mark Darcy in the film of Bridget Jones's Diary, the deal was sealed: Pride and Prejudice was on its way to fame and fortune. Which brings her to a point we've discussed on this podcast: ...What on earth would Jane Austen have made of it all? Well, she would certainly have laughed - "I dearly love a laugh," says Elizabeth Bennet, in the voice of her creator - and she would have enjoyed all the money, because nobody was more aware of its importance. Elizabeth and her sister Jane might have charm to spare, plus wit and good temper to keep fear of the future at bay, but their genteel poverty means that the men who marry them are not just lovers; they are personal relief missions from lives beyond contemplation. And this acute alertness to the significance of money - to the humiliating gulf between the shillings that buy Elizabeth's hair ribbons and Darcy's £30,000 a year - is just one of the many aspects of Jane Austen that has been lost to a contemporary audience. She goes on to say that too often, readers today just think it's neat that Elizabeth wound up with a rich guy--rather than noting that it was her job to find a rich husband or live a life of drudgery. In reality, loving Darcy is the bonus. The real marriage is that of money. ....Actually, there is rather more to Elizabeth than the perfection we behold in her (and ourselves). What, for example, is one to make of her ambiguous joke that she began to love Darcy on "first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley"? Sir Walter Scott, for one, thought she meant exactly what she said; and I think he had a point. ....But the novels as a whole are rather less comforting. Indeed, they are, in some ways, terrifying. There is something appalling about the lack of illusions with which Jane Austen viewed her little world. To censor out such a judgment - or to condemn it as "male" - is to do her an extreme disservice. And the point she makes next made me feel bad for not making a bigger deal out of what Charlotte did, and why: Take, for example, the character of Charlotte Lucas, one of Austen's finest, who cuts through the nonsense now waffling round Pride and Prejudice like a particularly acid lemon. Her presence lurks sombrely behind Elizabeth's lovely lightness: the two girls are faces of the same coin, expressions of their creator's joyful esprit on the one hand and cold eye on the other. Like Elizabeth, Charlotte has a lively mind, but, unlike her friend, she has no physical allure. A quirk of nature has taken her out of the orbit of men such as Darcy. And, because she is plain, she sees the world plainly. She calmly perceives its limitations: the ruthless judgments of its marriage market, the life sentence of inhabiting its tight social circles. Seeing the world, she also sees the possibility of falling off its edge. "Without thinking highly either of men or of matrimony, marriage had always been her object; it was the only honourable provision for well-educated young women of small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest preservative from want." She snaps up Mr Collins, the terrible suitor whom Elizabeth has the freedom to reject. "I am not romantic, you know. I never was." It is almost unthinkable, by today's standards, to do what Charlotte did--but she was wise, and right, and she seems to be "happy"...or at least happy enough... She is the stony reality at the heart of Pride and Prejudice. She tells a woman's story, but in a way that is utterly remote from feminine convention: with scant emotion, appealing to nothing other than rationality. And, like her creator, she has remarkably little to do with cosy readings of The Jane Austen Book Club and communal swoons over Mr Darcy. ...If Pride and Prejudice can be so easily claimed by the Grazia brigade, why should the other books be any different? It is not difficult, after all, to read what one wants to read in a novel. Every reader does it, to an extent. But the landscape of what is seen in books is becoming increasingly impoverished. Indeed, it might be that the reality of literature no longer lies within its words. As Jane Austen flourishes, the literary sense that she possessed in its most refined form is slowly dying: the irony would have amused her. Hmmmmm...more to think about...

013: chapters 38-41 - Pride and Prejudice

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 20:13:00 -0400

This week, chapters 38-41! Next week--42-45! A brief episode because I'm behind at work, sorry about that. Today, listen for some more wonderful Collins idiocy. And as far as pride and prejudice go, Elizabeth's refusal of Darcy's proposal due to her new understanding of how she misjudged Darcy's motives knocks them both down a peg. They're on new footing now—a lot of their assumptions about each other have been challenged and now there's room for—well—something to happen. Watch for the groundwork of an eminent disaster—these are the chapters where doom comes a knockin'. As always, Pride and Prejudice is narrated by Annie Coleman.

Special Thanks to Lauren and Amy for their helpful suggestions. I'm fiddling with the sound this week, so let me know. AND Re: iTunes--I have emailed them a number of times now, and we're trying to fix the feed problem. It appears they muffed it because they changed categories, so files that should have been there and complete, were semi-moved to the new category. I know one day the only files I could get through iTunes were the odd numbered episodes--go figure. Libsyn has fixed their end of the problem. Let's keep our fingers crossed...I know I am.

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.

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.

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). We'll also move on to chapters five and six in Pride and Prejudice, narrated by Annie Coleman. And, as always, intro music is provided by GarageBand.com who hosted Joshua Christian's "Chasing Hiro."

Well, here we are!

I wanted to welcome you all to CraftLit, a Podcast for Crafters.

I imagine you're here because you like to work with your hands, but you also like to read. If so, this is the place for you!

Our program will follow a similar pattern every week. After some introductory comments, a web, magazine, or book review (This week Mason-Dixon Knittng), I will include a chapter or two from our book. We will listen to that book until we're done with it - just like they used to publish books in magazines a la Dickens.

And because I'm a former English teacher, I'll give you some things to listen for in the chapters we hear--just to give you something else to do while you're knitting, spinning, crocheting, weaving, or sewing. Any painters?

So.

Get comfortable.

Find your tools.

Check the volume, and enjoy, with me, the beginning (chs 1–4) of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Intro music: "Chasing Hiro by Joshua Christian of Syracuse, NY. (I found the music on GarageBand.com.)
