Summary
On The Needles:
Gigi and Jasmin went to the Rosicrucian Museum and admired ancient textiles. [Our friend there was Karenzknitknacks, not Karenbynight.]
Jasmin finished her Baby Surprise Jacket, and her Sirius socks. She is casting on a new pair of handspun socks out of Pigeonroof Studios "Mushroom Caps."
Gigi is knitting a "vanilla sock" out of Lana grossa Meilenweit in color 5565 (it looks like Trekking), with a Strong Heel (from the Little Box of Socks).
Jasmin is working on a sweater for the Purlescence gals (one of their original designs) out of the Manos Silk and Wool.
Jasmin finished the spinning on her Pigeonroof Studios Superwash Blue Faced Leicester in "Violet Cherry."
Gigi is knitting the Knitting Pure and Simple Wrap Cardigan in Cascade Venezia.
When Knitting Attacks!
Jasmin had technology go terribly awry when trying to load the video of the sheep shearing onto the computer. As promised:
Gigi had killer dust bunnies (with BIG TEETH!) in her sewing machine.
Mother Knows Best:
When you're done sewing, take the little brush, and tidy up your machine. A keyboard vaccuum and compressed air also work nicely for sewing machine maintenence/clean-up. Ursula bought Gigi this magnetic light for her sewing machine!
Jasmin loves continued education, and she and Gigi will be taking a class from Cat Bordhi in Lafayette, CA on Saturday, September 27th at Yarn Boutique.
The Stitches West class catalog is up!
Events:
Saturday, September 27 & Sunday, September 28th:
Saturday, October 4th- The Yarn Harlot. Copperfield's Books in Santa Rosa.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to The Knitmore Girls Podcast, a mother daughter knitting production. This week |
| 0:12.4 | is episode 20 and our segments include On the Needles When knitting attacks, mother |
| 0:21.3 | knows best and events. Come on, let's chat. Welcome back listeners. This has been a pretty |
| 0:30.3 | exciting week for us. We'd like to start this week's show off by thanking all the people |
| 0:36.1 | who have sent donations in. Thank you so, so much. Your donations keep the podcast going |
| 0:41.0 | and just a reminder to anyone who didn't already hear it. If you send a donation of a dollar |
| 0:46.3 | or more, we will send you our little permission slip that reads this grant's official permission |
| 0:52.3 | to change patterns at will, knit more. So go ahead and do that. Again, thanks for your donations |
| 0:57.7 | and that little ugly bit is out of the way. Hi, mom. How's it going? Excellent. How are you? |
| 1:03.6 | I am really well. We've had a busy day. Yes, we have. We started pretty early this morning. |
| 1:09.6 | The Ross Accrucian Museum in San Jose had some sort of special shinde going on. So we |
| 1:16.5 | went there and we haven't been there in probably, I don't know, a dozen years. It's been forever. |
| 1:24.3 | The Ross Accrucian Museum specializes in like Egyptian stuff. Egyptology? I don't know if |
| 1:30.6 | that's actually the right term, but it was coined in like the 1950s. Egypt, really? It's |
| 1:36.1 | focused on mummies and cool stuff. And the one thing that really has changed since the last |
| 1:41.6 | time we were there because I walked through and I was like, oh, this is all the same stuff. |
| 1:45.6 | Was that they've been taking the sarcophagi and the mummies to Stanford, which is local |
| 1:52.1 | to us, and doing cat scans and other sorts of imaging so that they don't have to crack |
| 1:57.7 | open the sarcophagus's sarcophagi to look at the mummies and get the details and all |
| 2:04.4 | that good stuff. So they get all this information without disrupting it too much? Yes, disrupting |
| 2:10.8 | the body. And mum and I had a deep philosophical discussion about museums and artifacts and whether |
