Transition

We had a few bumps with iTunes, but it seems to be working well now. So, if you have been disappointed in the last few weeks with the feed, I invite you to try again. Thanks for listening! I will have a big, big show this Sunday, featuring an interview with a Big Deal Knitter.

Moving Day

I have moved to http://www.journalgazette.net/craftyliving and, barring major catastrophe, will be putting out a new show every Sunday! Come visit the blog in-between shows to see what else is going on in the crafty universe and in our neck of the woods.

Watch This Space...Or That Space, anyway

I'm going to be relaunching Math4Knitters as Math4Knitters: Crafty Living to go with the Crafty Living blog and column at the Journal Gazette and http://www.journalgazette.net/ in January of 2010. I will probably do another post with the exact link to the blog when it starts, but I'm told that the link will be http://www.journalgazette.net/craftyliving.

I will be aiming for a weekly schedule and the content will loosely match up with the content of the Crafty Living blog/Sunday column. Hopefully, there will be a new podcast up every Sunday. There will be an RSS feed from the blog/podcast, but I don't know how long it will take me to get it on iTunes.

As always, any questions or comments are appreciated! You can still find me on Ravelry as math4knitters, and I may cross-post major updates for the podcast to this site. Old shows will still be available for download as long as I remember to pay the bill for the hosting...

Big Doin's Afoot

Watch this space - big changes and much more frequent updates coming in 2010!

Settling In

Once again, I have NOT podfaded, but life has a way of laughing at my plans to podcast. I moved for a new job and am very excited about everything here. That means that my computers/microphone/etc. are still scattered around my apartment. So, bear with me. I promise I will have something coming up, just in time to be too late for Christmas (just like everything else I am doing this year).

Alternative to Knitted Objects for Presents:

-1 big ol' mug, ideally from thrift store, maybe with ironic or cute design
-packet of dry "mix" from recipe below - just mix the flour, sugar and cocoa together
-5-Minute Mug Cake Recipe

4 Tablespoons flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
splash of vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions:

Mix flour, sugar and cocoa, or dump in contents of packet, if using mix.

Add egg, stir well.

Pour in milk, oil and vanilla, mix well.

Add chocolate chips.

Cook in microwave for 3 minutes on high. (The cake may rise above the mug, but don't worry.)

Allow to cool a little, tip out onto a plate, and enjoy!

Moving...

Of course, I promise you something, and then I get a job interview, and then a new job...and now I'm packing to move. But, I have my equipment in a labeled box, so hopefully once things settle down I will be able to podcast.

Distracted, but not Gone

I was going to try to podcast today over my lunch hour, but now both cats are awake and want to sit on my lap. It's very distracting. I have show notes and everything all ready, so maybe next week. Thank you for your patience!
