13. Knit Chat, Round 2! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: So the above photo seems to have nothing to do with knitting - but it does, in fact, have a lot to do with the podcast.

15. Crazy iTunes! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: For some reason, only the most recent podcast is showing up in iTunes. Crazy iTunes! I think I might have found a fix for it, but if it doesn’t work then I might have to make two feeds for this site - one for iTunes to use to feed podcasts only, and one [...]

17. Red, Red, Red! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: We have waited awhile for the painter we wanted to use to help redecorate the kitchen to be available.

19. Tonight! And Another Prize! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Although Katy Blogless just told me that I sound like Jason on the phone with my still slightly rough voice, it is the best that it has been all week - so tonight I will be recording the podcast!

20. Still Squeaky! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: We made it back from New England on Monday night, but since then I have been in serious recovery mode.

I’ve still got [...]
21. Project Spectrum and the Podcastiversary! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I was going to try to quickly record the latest episode of Pointy Sticks so it would be out today.

22. Don’t Mock the Goat!* http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: The angora goat is the producer of mohair fiber, something all know, and those of us that love wool often also love. I visited Koenig Farm in Kentucky in the summer of 2005, and this was one of the many goats that greeted me while I was there. Almost all of their yarn [...]
23. More Prizes! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I just got off the phone with Randall of Brooks Farm (aka Mr. Brooks Farm Hotty Hotty if you listen to Knitty D and the City, which totally cracks me up - both the show and the name!) regarding some top secret knitting, and they will be sending me a skein of their BRAND NEW [...]
24. More on the Podcastiversary Contest! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Another prize for the Podcastiversary contest! I’ve been talking with Scout about a custom Pointy Sticks yarn, because I just LOVE her yarn. And, as was discussed on the last episode of the podcast, I’m a bit crazy about sock yarn. While it isn’t ready yet, she has offered up a skein [...]
25. Squeee! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I had dinner tonight with Nancy Bush and some of the Twisted Yarns crew. I was at the other end of the table of 8, and I am crowd deaf (I can’t hear conversation past the people right next to me), but I ate dinner with Nancy Bush. And we talked (loud enough [...]

28. Faith! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: The Faith Jacket, lounging on my sofa. I can’t get a good photo of me in it to save my life. I will try again, or maybe when I see Staci tomorrow for our podcast interview, I can talk Anne Bolyn (sp?) to model it for me. She is the perfect model [...]
29. Because I’m Crazy… http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: As I mentioned before, we are going to New England (Providence & Boston) in less than two weeks. I’m wearing a sleeveless dress to the wedding, and because I hate my arms, I decided to knit a lace shawl before we go. In addition to the sweater I’m already working on. The lace was fiddly and [...]
30. Progress! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I have just a few more inches to go and then the back of the sweater will be done and I will cast on for the sides. I will probably do both sleeves at the same time, but I’m not doing both sides at the same time. That just hurts my head a [...]
31. The Frozen Knitter http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Right now, it is freezing in Houston. Literally. I realize to the rest of the world, this is no big deal. It is January after all, so if you are in the northern hemisphere, it is winter. Freezing is just part of the delights of winter. The problem is, it [...]

Episode 12 - Knitting In A New Year! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 0.00Mb) Description: A nearly music free show, I have finally accepted the fact that my desire for the perfect music makes me put off getting the show out. Since I have been holding on to an interview since December 24th, I could not possibly wait any longer to get the show out. The big news around here? [...]
34. AntiCrafting over the Holidays http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: If you listened to the last podcast and it was spectacularly bad, well - I apologize.

35. Episode 11 - Road Trip! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 0.00Mb) Description: Oh goodness. I’m tired. Exhausted. Ready for vacation. And this episode? It shows.

[...]
38. Just Testing http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I had issues getting the podcast uploaded last night, so I just wanted to make sure that the blog pinged all of the appropriate people to get the word out about the show. I’m thinking of doing a “refer a friend” contest. I might just have to go through the stash, which is way too [...]
39. Episode 9 - A Hint of Fall http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 0.00Mb) Description: Fall is in the air, there is a certain crispness that can’t be described, and I am in the mood to knit sweaters!

40. I Thought I Was Ahead of the Game! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: When I last recorded, I made show notes for the next show at the same time. I wanted to stay ahead of the game this semester. Instead, a new laptop and then having family visit us in Houston for the first time in two years (we visited them last year) caused everything to [...]
41. This Weekend! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: A new laptop means having to install the software all over again. My geek has been out of town though, and I simply haven’t had time - but today I will finally get everything set up and ready, and by this weekend there will be a new show! Good thing too, as my [...]
42. Episode 8 - What I Did on my Summer Vacation, Part 2 http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 56.98Mb) Description: I have to say this up front so that we are clear - I was exhausted when I recorded this episode.

43. Episode 7 - What I Did on my Summer Vacation http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 53.88Mb) Description: Last semester drove me to the very edge of sanity, so while it wasn’t how I planned for it to be - I took the summer off.

44. It is Coming Soon - Really! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I’m wrapping up the notes for Episode 7, which should almost be called “Season 2, Episode 1″ considering my extended break.

Like a Mouse… http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I was going to record the next episode the morning after I returned to Houston from my trip to London (with a side trip to Cardiff, Wales to meet Brenda Dayne!), but it seems that my body has other plans. I’ve been without a voice for three days now, and I wouldn’t be surprised [...]
46. Episode 6 - The Crafty Family http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 55.43Mb) Description: I know, I was supposed to record an episode right after Mother’s Day.

I’ve got [...]

Episode 4 - Yo, DJ, Kick It! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 69.01Mb) Description: In this episode I have even fewer notes, I complain less about the weather, Mike is the DJ, I knit, he knits, I find Yarntopia, we travel the Inca Road, and we are all sexy knitters. I am still recording on the laptop, but I didn’t really edit this episode at all. It is full [...]
49. Knitting for Peace http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I had hoped to get another Podcast up over Spring Break, but I realized that spending time outdoors before it gets any hotter in Houston would be a smart choice. We had a great trip to the Houston Zoo, and got some yard work done. Both of which are good things. I [...]
50. Episode 3 - Poke You In the Eye http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 60.08Mb) Description: In this episode, we are trying something new, more new things, spouses that knit, the Knit Nazi, and a variety of things from around the internet.

51. Episode 3, Later This Week! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Biology has once again eaten my brain, I think. Any time I didn’t spend studying this weekend was spent with some much needed down time. I don’t think I’ve had a weekend with nothing planned in the past 2 months, and I really needed that. It was a good thing, as it [...]
52. Pointy Sticks Episode 2 - The Olympic Finale http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 41.78Mb) Description: This post will replace the previous post as it seems there were issues with the file for the Podcast itself. Hopefully this will kick-start iTunes and everything else into behaving. Also, a new server is hosting the podcasts, so hopefully they will download faster now. I jinxed myself with the last post. I [...]
53. Where is the Podcast? http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: “Christine! You promised us a podcast. WHERE is it at?” I know. I said I would have it finished over the weekend, and I don’t. I did make some progress on my Olympic knitting on Friday. After that, all of my free time was devoted to writing research papers. If [...]
54. Episode 2, Coming Soon! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that Episode 2 will be posted this weekend.

55. Subscribing to PointySticks in iTunes http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I know that many people (including myself) use iTunes to easily download podcasts.

57. Test of the Emergency Podcast System http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I signed up for AudioBlog.com as a way to test their podcasting services. I recorded this over the phone, and while it isn't the best quality of sound, it is a lot better than what I was getting through the first microphone I tried. It is nice to know that there are options to keeping [...]
58. Sound Issues… http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I’m still dealing with sound issues, since I don’t like the quality of the microphones we own. I’ve tried shopping for a new one, but who knew mics were so hard to find? Brenda Dayne mentioned one in a previous episode of Cast-On, so I’m hoping to find more information on that and maybe finally [...]
