Small Talk: Organizing around the house, Getting a Dog (now does that pet allergy podcast make sense?) Garden update If you missed the Yarn Crawl episode for Grandma's Yarns and Notions in Lancaster, it is filed before Episode 16
New Segment! Listener Quick Tip First a tip from me, Preserved Lemons. Recipe here. Tip from Chris (chrisimon on Ravelry). Check out the business cards from Moo!
Joints: Where two bones come together in the body. Many layers and elements involved: skin, muscle, tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid, cartilage, bone, and nerves. Next week, arthritis and its treatment
Getting organized to do a complicated knitting project Get your pattern secured and hands free Figure out your needles Get a way to secure your beads (if needed) Find a container that makes it easy to get set up and start knitting when you have a chance

Straight and circular pyrex needles A closer look at the crochet hooks. They also come with clear handles. And a gratuitous beauty shot... Category:general

Small talk: Happy New Year. Deep breath = fresh perspective If very suggestible, please take a break from listening if you feel lightheaded I'm thinking about reward charts for myself -- but what reward? Motivating myself to make healthy changes -- the fertility issue Lots of interviews coming up!
Deep breathing -- the lungs, different types of breaths, deep breathing exercises, deep breathing and exercise, a breathing meditation The article I mentioned is here: "Home-based deep breathing for depression in patients with coronary heart disease: A randomized controlled trial" Chung LJ et al. Int J Nurs Stud. 2010 Nov;47(11):1346-53.
Picking up the Evenstar again The lovely Jagger Zephyr yarn I was talking about, take a look at those colors! Please tell me they're not discontinuing it www.jaggeryarn.com/wholesale-yarn-lines/zephyr-wool-silk.htm I got mine from Webs I will require the right size needle, beads, and a plan for tackling the knitted on edging (and doing the graft at the end)
