Special F/X 

Over one weekend, Jade and a few friends did a special “workshop” with a bunch of friends and made face / head casts out of molding compounds under the supervision of a friend who had trained at Gorton Studios that specialize in movie & t.v special FX. Here are some photos of the castings. However, Jade will be writing about the experience in the upcoming podZine!

Get Geeky 

The girls discuss the recently released movie, The Hobbit, and Sandy points out all of the crafty goodness inherent in the movie. There are spoilers in this first half of the show, so be forewarned!

Get Crafty

Sandy & Jade discuss what's on their upcoming project list, as well as their current projects

Fiber Optics

Sandy:
  1.  the Cosby Sweater - She's addicted to the sweater and is nearly half way done. She broke her scrap yarn pledge, and picked up several skeins of yarn for this project.
  2. Java socks - her lunch knitting at work 
  3. Planning: The lace cardigan from Knitty, Que Sera, and has ordered Cascade Venezia in worsted for the project 
Jade:
  1.  Raglan Hoodie - She finished her handknit, handspun sweater a few days before Christmas, and it's been another go-to sweater for her. 
  2. Vanilla socks - She finished the pair of vanilla socks for her friend's mom (in trade for a quilt), but she's looking for other knitted wear to make in order to make the trade more "even".
  3. Striped handwarmers - Jade's first full fledged project for 2013. These handwarmers are made out of Frog Tree Pediboo, a sportweight merino/bamboo yarn. 
  4. Skull & Crossbones Argyle Vest - She just cast on for this project, after finding a skull chart on Ravelry & modifiying it.

Make it Sew!

Sandy took a big chunk out of her mending pile during vacation, and it felt good --- Inverness cloak, delicate summer haori, handsewing yukata, and more!
