Sorry for the delay, everyone!  We had technical problems but we're all better now.  Please pardon the buzzing sound in the first 8-10 minutes of the episode.  It goes away shortly.

Local Weather
Everyone's cold!  Deirdre shivers through 54F / 12C days in San Diego, while Peter toughs out the 4F / -16C temps in St. Paul.

Hashing it Out
Thanks for the comments, everyone!

What's Up
Peter finished a whole slew of projects and celebrates by starting a new sweater and a scarf.

Deirdre works on mystery projects and cannot stop knitting mini sweaters.

I Want That
Peter is eager to learn crochet so he can make himself a Babette Blanket, while Deirdre continues the small yet cute knitting obsession with Danger Crafts knitted monsters.

The Hot Seat
On the agenda for today are traditional knitting, how many UFOs we have lying around, pattern criteria, movie genres, and recurring dreams.

Sorry, gang!  We recorded Episode 5 on Friday but we have been experiencing technical difficulties with the editing software.  Something's amiss with the file.  We will try to get it corrected and uploaded tomorrow (Tuesday).

In the meantime, if you need a sibling podcast fix, check out The Savvy Girls Podcast.  It's hilarious!

Local Weather
Peter sweats it out in Wisconsin (52 F / 11 C) while Deirdre freezes her arse off in San Diego (64 F / 18 C).

Hashing it Out
Huge thank yous to everyone for all the comments!

This is the extent of our baby/kid knitting knowledge: Ysolda's toys, Alana on Never Not Knitting, Susan B. Anderson's Itty Bitty Toys, Debbie Bliss patterns.

The pair finally reveals the number of siblings they share.

What's Up?
Peter moans about finals week and grad school apps, but rejoices in finishing his Expedition Pullover by Todd Gocken, and working on his Regatta Socks by Anne Hanson.

Deirdre is enjoying her Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig, and contemplates actually wearing her completed Cookie A socks.

Skypesgiving!

I Want That
Peter goes arctic for the Polar Chullo by Mary Ann Stephens out of the latest Twist Collective.

Deirdre gives updates on Anne Kuo Lukito's new e-book, Liberations and raves about Bloom Design Studio.

The Hot Seat
All about avoiding icky knitting techniques, KIPing, choosing colors, pattern mods, favorite Thanksgiving foods, and super powers.

Fruit Salad Recipe:
     1 can cherry pie filling (20 oz.)
     1 can pineapple chunks (20 oz.)
     1 cup cherry yogurt (6-8 oz.)
     2 bananas
     Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and enjoy!  (Our family doubles the recipe, but you should be fine as is.)

And...
An audio gift from Peter!

Local Weather
Peter enjoys sunny and snowless (for now) Wisconsin (54 F / 12 C) while Deirdre is happy to see a cloudy day for once in San Diego (65 F / 12 C).

What's Up?
Peter inches closer to finishing his Expedition Pullover by Todd Gocken and is pretty sure he's knitting blue Regatta Socks by Anne Hanson with MacKintosh Yarns sock yarn.

Deirdre toiled through blisters and burning hands to finish up a pair of Bamboo Socks (by Lorraine Ehrlinger out of Trekking XXL) for the show announcer and turns her attention to an Ethereal Fichu (by Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer in Buffboo lace weight) for Buffalo Gold.

I Want That
Deirdre likes the unique patterns from Anne Kuo Lukito from Crafty Diversions.

Peter itches for some colorwork after seeing the Min Ulla set by Elinor Brown (and then realizes he already has her Vespergyle Mittens on the needles).

The Hot Seat
The pair discuss their favorite things to knit, what finishing techniques they try to avoid, favorite movies, most used handknits, preferred stash organization techniques, and pick a favorite month.
