Hello! Thanks for watching the knit.theory podcast for December 29th, 2013.
Today's episode includes Typewriter, Enabling, Plagiarism, Literary Theory, and Story Time. Please feel free to watch it here or on YouTube, iTunes, or LibSyn.
Typewriter:
I began an elfin hat using Dream in Color's Calm yarn in the Fortune (not Tempest) colorway.
I am also working on the Tyrian Loop cowl using Madelinetosh Pashmina in the Truly, Madly, Deeply colorway.
Enabling:
Berroco Vintage Chunky in a pumpkin spice-like colorway.
Cascade Heritage in an orangey goldenrod colorway.
Trekking Hand Art in the Costa Rica colorway.
Knitter's Pride Dreamz needles (US10.5/6.5mm) and Karbonz needles (US3)
Dream in Color Calm in the Bitter colorway.
Cascade Yarn Fixation in blue, teal, melon, white, and red.
Mary Triplett's Whale Beanie and Sock pattern and her Metallic Magnetism Beanie pattern.

Literary Theory:
Today I am joined by Lincoln Cannon and Chris Bradford, two of the fourteen cofounders of the Mormon Transhumanist Association. They define transhumanism, discuss our place in this ideology, and describe transhumanism's aims (using technology ethically to enhance human life). Thanks, Chris and Lincoln, for the great interview.

I finish reading Chapter 3 of Jerome K. Jerome's _Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)_.

Graded:
Candie Cottontail-- bunny girl in a dotty dress-- A+
Typewriter: Vanilla socks with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel in the gorgeous Ladybug Fibers Magic Carpet colorway. This is my favorite sock yarn/colorway to date.
Tyrian Loop cowl has been frogged. My i-cord cast-on was much, much too tight. It needs to be about twice as big.
Yarn Maintenance:
Looking for moths has lead me to spend many an hour cleaning out closets & the stash. Yuck. I'd much rather be knitting.
I sewed a ribbon onto the inside of the button band on a little Baby Surprise Jacket.
I lengthened my Dorflinger Tee.
I blocked my Insulate! hat and it fits much better now, thank you very much.
