You can keep up with my knitting exploits between episodes at my blog. My username on Ravelry is knitonmycat, so come on over and friend me, yo! All the cool kids are doing it!

I'm a little hyper tonight, so I apologize if this episode is a little faster and even more disorganized than usual. Have a great week and thanks for listening!

Podcasting Help:

If you've been thinking about starting a podcast, but you're not sure where to start, here are a few resources you might find helpful-

Some helpful tutorials from Podcast 411.
Podbean, a free podcast host graciously pointed out to me by Sara of the SSK Podcast.
Libsyn- another podcast hosting service. It's not free, but it's cheap and I like it a lot.

Sorry for the looooong interval between Episode 7 coming out and the notes going up. Are they going to take away my Most Organized Podcaster of 2007 Award for this?

The contest for you to win my much loved copy of Oldboy ends 06/04/2007 so if you have any comments or emails to send, now is the time!

Now that I've finally put up the shownotes, I'm almost ready to put out a new episode! Talk to y'all soon!

No featured pattern for this episode, but if you're full of Spidey spirit with the U.S. release of Spiderman 3 this weekend, check out some of these cool spider themed knits I found :

The Spider Queen Shawl (Knitting Pattern and Kit)
a collection of spider stitch patterns from Knitting-And.com
Spider Web Sockies
a tiny double-knit spider (scare your friends and neighbors!)
crocheted spider

You can donate to help the victims and families affected by the tragedy at Virginia Tech here.

Sorry for the discombobulated nature of the show. It's mostly because I lost my outline and partially, I'm just a bad podcaster. No cookie!

See the Mother's Day afghan I'm crocheting and keep up with my crafting between podcasts at my blog.

If you haven't figured it out already, the podcast is going on hiatus for a little while until I'm over some of unpleasant symptoms of my pregnancy. It is really no fun trying to do a show when you feel like you might make a big mess on the keyboard at any moment. I'm around 12 weeks now, so hopefully I'll feel better any day and Film and Fiber will be back to your weekly scheduled rambling. Sorry I haven't posted any updates until now! Hope you're having a better month than I am!

Wizards
Pan's Labyrinth

Thanks for listening and have a great week!

A promo for the Film and Fiber Podcast... just what you've always wanted! Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause! Now you can help support Film and Fiber by playing this on your podcasts, and possibly by blaring it from your stereo while sitting in rush hour traffic. Scares the muggles, you know.

The background music is "Chopin is Dead" from Adhesion and was provided by the Podsafe Music Network. The sound of the projector was provided by Jlozano at the Freesound Project, a website that hosts a wide variety of public domain sound clips. Check them out!
