Episode 99: Agent 99


In the first half of the episode, Jade & Sandy talk about giving to a variety of charities this holiday season. Then they catch up on a variety of crafting and their fiber projects.


Get Geeky
GET SMART! It’s our 99th episode, so we dedicate this episode to Agent 99 who is a strong, capable, and amazing spy working for CONTROL.

    Get Smart and give a little….

    In this holiday season, it’s time to think of giving to those less fortunate. As geeks, there are plenty of gifts out there geared toward us, but we should also consider giving unto others as part of our missive.



    • TARGET has special Rogue One shirts -- until Dec. 28, buy a shirt, and $5 proceeds are donated to UNICEF. There’s a great very discreet “I am a Force for Change” black shirt that would work well with a safety pin….(logo is on the upper left chest)


    And speaking of Rogue One….


    Have you seen the new trailers for Rogue One? IT's AWESOME!
    • Other trailers that have come out….
    • Guardians of the Galaxy trailer
    • Hidden Figures -- the three women who were the brains that helped launch a man into space.

      • Yarn Notes: Nice yarn, but slightly splitty and some of the purple color didn’t completely saturate through. I can see bits of white.

      Yarn: Using diVe worsted in blue, casting on longer than is recommended because the wearer wants more coverage
      Link: The Tin Can Knits needle and hook method of provisional cast ons is my favorite one I’ve seen in a while. Easily memorized and cleanly executed, no picking things out.
