Commuter Knitter Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

It is a short episode today, but I could not resist the opportunity to turn on the microphone twelve years to the day since this day only comes around every four years!  Thank you for joining me on this journey for the past TWELVE years exactly. What a ride it has been!

The Check Engine Light hits Jen right away as she brings a project out of neutral, she tries to tune out the enablers, and then gets excited for The Doctor's return on Saturday.

Jen hits a lot of traffic (during the commute), runs into a big pothole (while knitting), and goes off-roading (in the podcast). 

Jen brings you a Tuesday edition of the podcast in anticipation of possible storms on Wednesday which may make for tretcherous driving and podcasting conditions.  She wraps up Ravellenics, challenges listeners to help the Halos of Hope hat count at STITCHES East exceed that of Midwest this past weekend, and offers up some pre-road trip prep tips.  Enjoy!

Jen hits a few speed bumps & the check engine light comes on for her Ravellenics project - can she recover to reach the finish line on Sunday??
