It's a first for us... we're doing a video episode from our two locations! Never fear, audio only listeners, you can still listen to the podcast on your favorite podcast app. But if the sight of our beautiful faces and projects aren't enough to entice you, one of the cats also makes a surprise guest appearance ;)

Episode 62: I think I'm everyone's cup of tea

Saturday, April 4, 2020 • Duration 29:08

Let's stay home together! And what better thing to do while you're staying home than knitting and crocheting? The Archive KCAL is still going and Alyson has two FOs for the KCAL!

Episode 61: Supe Dupe

Sunday, March 22, 2020 • Duration 44:47

We have cats! Sinister cats, that is... on Vivian's Sinister Catdigan. And the joys of a knitter trying to explain the STUART method of color knitting to a crocheter. It's fascinating stuff! And Alyson is soooo close to finishing her Chain Reaction Afghan.

The Archive KCAL is ticking along. Both Alyson and Vivian are making small steps in finishing their projects. But Vivian is mostly excited about really getting going with her Sinister Catdigan.

Episode 57: There's No Chocolate

Monday, January 6, 2020 • Duration 48:33

What would the first episode of the year be without a moment to reflect on all of our finished FOs from the past year? Featuring a debate on whether the majority of Vivian's 2019 FOs include colorwork hehe! In the meantime, Vivian is making good headway with her East Coast Girl cardigan, thankfully whilst not going blind. And Alyson might be embracing triangle shawls?!
