-
- True Crime
In this episode, Natalie brings us a series of theft-related stories and studies that span centuries and countries! Including a story about "sheep lifting" by Lauren Potts (BBC) called "Fleecing the Farmers", a 2017 study on South African sheep theft, and 2006 paper by Lynn Abrams on Knitting, Autonomy and Identity. We have a couple more "yarn-jacking" stories as well; one from the U.S. with Fresno-based Anzula Luxury Yarns and one from Nova Scotia, Canada with LK Yarns..
Natalie is knitting “Rowing Socks” with Briggs & Little yarns using the Woodcutters Daughter pattern as well as working on Shifty
Ashley is (reluctantly, ugh...cables...) knitting Here We Gnome Again by Sarah Schira with Goosey Fiber scraps
Natalie is snacking on St.Viateur Bagel Shop which came in the mail.
Ashley is snacking on fresh strawberries from the garden (and now has the theme song from this show stuck in her head)
