| Ep 132: Charming Bind Offs | 29 May 2024 | 00:29:38 | |
Hey fellow magic-makers and knitters! In our season finale, we wrapped up with a whimsical dive into the art of charming bind offs, exploring not just the technical side of knitting, but the enchantment it brings to our crafting and the craft itself. From discussing the magic of finishing projects (and the struggle therein) to the innovative spell swatch idea, we covered a myriad of ways knitting weaves into our lives and practices. We explore several bind off techniques – everything from the basics to the more complex like Jenny's super stretchy bind off and the Kitchener Stitch. Each method opened up new possibilities for our projects, and hopefully, yours too! We couldn't help but get a little sentimental, reminiscing about the season and the amazing guests we've had. A huge thank you to our listeners and Patreon supporters for being such an integral part of Knit A Spell. Remember, while we take a summer pause, there's a whole catalog of episodes to explore and keep the magic alive! Looking forward to casting on with you all in the fall for Season 6, where we'll unravel the mysteries of enchanted tools and containers. Stay magical and keep on knitting! --- RESOURCE LINKS

| Ep 131: Set Intentions with Blocking | 22 May 2024 | 00:28:59 | |
In this episode of Knit a Spell, we delve into the mystical practice of blocking - not the kind you might be thinking of, but an essential step in fiber arts that's all too often overlooked. Join James Divine and Katie Rempe as they explore how this technique not only perfects the shape of your knitted creations but also infuses them with magical intention! From wet blocking to steam blocking, we discuss the different methods and how each can be used to imbue your projects with the energies of water, transformation, and intention. But we didn’t just stop at discussing techniques! We also share how blocking plays a role in our own magical practices. Discover why Katie prefers steam blocking and hear our tips for incorporating rituals and intentions into this crucial finishing step. We also touch on blocking's role in various fiber arts and how it can even breathe new life into second-hand or manufactured items. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their making! --- RESOURCE LINKS

| Episode 28: WHO IS SAMUEL HAIN & More Halloween-ish Things | 27 Oct 2021 | 00:39:31 | |
Halloween is a US holiday with costumes and candy - not exactly a spiritual experience that much of the rest of the world celebrates. Some of you may even know of ‘Samuel Hain’ aka Samhain for those ‘in the know’. Join Jim and Katie this week for a super spiritual episode that will help lighten your soul and enlighten your magic and making. | |||
| Episode 27: Everything Ends? | 20 Oct 2021 | 00:37:11 | |
Episode 27: Everything Ends? Meditate on the word 'end' and begin to list everything that comes to mind. Do anxious feelings arise, or is there a sense of exhilaration? Does it bring on a feeling of finality or continuation? As Jim and Katie discuss in this episode: everything ends. Or does it? Knitting is a great example. Knitting to the ‘end of the row or round’ doesn’t usually mean the project itself has come to an end. It’s just one step towards a bigger goal and a great analogy for life. By the end of this episode, you may begin to have new feelings on the subject matter. We also add a new segment to the END of our show: A weekly oracle card forecast! If you have feelings on the card we’ve drawn, send us an email (knitaspellpodcast@gmail.com) or a DM on Instagram!

| Episode 26: Let's Get 'Connected'! | 13 Oct 2021 | 00:41:05 | |
Many physics, tarot readers, mediums, magical workers and more claim to 'connect' to something in order to receive information. However, few describe what that sensation actually feels like. In this episode 26: Let's Get Connected, Katie and Jim compare how they feel when 'connecting' and methods to explore it yourself. | |||
| Episode 25: Crafting with Bones | 06 Oct 2021 | 00:49:21 | |
Have you ever considered crafting with bones? Katie and Jim have, which is why they brought on expert Auntie Sindy Todo of Todomojo.com to help us dive into this week's topic! Auntie Sindy Todo is a professional rootworker and conjurer, spiritual coach, energy worker, healer, intuitive, card & bone reader based out of West Seattle, WA and local buddy to our own 'Jimbo'! Will "Conjure Crafternoons" return, Auntie Sindy? We hope so!! This is a unique and exciting episode - no bones about it! • Auntie Sindy Todo's Website - Todomojo | |||
| Episode 24: Magic of Celtic Knots & Cables | 29 Sep 2021 | 00:37:14 | |
It makes sense that a culture like the Celts, who worshiped nature, would find ways to bring those elements into items they'd utilize as a way to encompass their qualities. The fact that the ‘Aran Jumper’ aka fisherman knit sweater, grew out of a small island where it was used for necessity from the weather and for identification purposes, to something we now do in our free-time for pleasure is pretty mind blowing in itself. | |||
| Ep 121: Casting On With Magic | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:32:42 | |
This week Katie and Jim delve into the parallels between casting on a knitting project and casting a spell. They discuss the significance of release and intention in both activities, comparing casting on stitches in knitting to creating a magical circle in spellcasting. Throughout the episode, they explore various knitting cast on methods, including the knitted cast on, cable cast on, long tail cast on, i-cord cast on, picot cast on, and provisional cast on. For each method, they discuss its practical uses in knitting and associated magical correspondences. They also discuss the importance of raising and releasing energy in both knitting and magic, emphasizing visualization and intention in the creative process. The episode concludes with a reference guide for listeners to download, enabling them to apply the discussed magical correspondences to their knitting projects. Enjoy this intriguing exploration of how crafting and magic intersect, demonstrating how knitting techniques can be infused with intention and symbolism akin to spellcasting. --- CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE CAST ON GUIDE FOR FREE - FOR A LIMITED TIME! --- Find all of Katie's patterns on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/light-from-lantern Learn more about Intro To Palmistry: IntroToPalmistry.com Learn how to Knit With Color Magic - save $20 for a limited time using code COLOR20 at checkout: lightfromlantern.com/knitwithcolormagic --- JOIN KNIT A SPELL ON PATREON!

| Episode 19: Ritual Making Plus Knitting Circles vs Witches Covens | 25 Aug 2021 | 00:51:26 | |
Knit A Spell - Episode 19: Ritual Making Plus Knitting Circles vs Witches Covens Have you ever woken up and realized several hours later you’re at work without really remembering getting there? It might be time to invite a little ritual into your routine! In this week’s episode, Jim and Katie discuss the differences between routine (things we repeat) and ritual (things we do) both magically and in making. Jim and Katie also nerd out about how circles are everywhere and make up everything! Think of the iconic knights of the round table, magic circles, even cakes of yarn are wound from a circular hank to a circular cake or ball of yarn which is made up of tubular yarn and fibers! A circle removes hierarchy and promotes a natural balance where everything/one is seen or heard. What comes to mind when you think of the magic of a circle? Katie and Jim also dish about the pros and cons of being involved in social or 'work’ groups. How can someone move on from feeling overwhelmed by bad past experiences? Jim has examples from his coven! Jim also reveals to Katie Forest Jones’ ‘What is a Coven’ which outlines the specifics of what is and isn’t part of being involved in a coven. Makers: this is a great example for us to remember that a knitting group isn’t a replacement for therapy. For more info on this article, see the link in the show notes below! Finally, Has Katie been practicing ‘Yarnomancy’ without even knowing it? It seems like it! All this and more in Episode 19 of Knit A Spell!

Katie demonstrates how to create a magical cord by twisting yarn into a skein, emphasizing the intention-setting process during the creation of magical tools like witch's ladders.

The hosts highlight some of Katie's magical knitting patterns, including the Traveler's Talisman scarf, the Self Love Cowl, and the Moon Cowl, discussing how each pattern incorporates intentional stitch patterns and colors to infuse the finished piece with specific magical properties.
