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!

Listen to the Math4Knitter's podcast, which won't hurt your head like this movie!

Featured Project:

Cashmere Moebius Cowl by Cat Bordhi
Buy a kit for the Cowl
What the heck is a Moebius? (What's the plural of Moebius? Mobeii? Moebius's? If you know, please rescue me from my ignorance!)
The pattern for the cat bed that I mentioned, Kitty Pi, which is not a Moebius but related to Pi. Come to think of it, this is truly ideal movie knitting, from cast on to cast off. From the perpetually wonderful Wendy Knits blog.

Featured Project:

Heart Pillow from knit.1 Winter 2006/2007

The Spring 2007 issue comes out February 14, so you have a few more days to buy the Winter issue on newstands. After that, I first suggest checking your LYS to see if they have any back issues for sale. If they don't, you can call Vogue Knitting toll free at 877-860-6164 to inquire about purchasing a back issue from them.
