A Bluebeard variation, with happy results, from English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs. Goats are still pregnant, darn it, though Erin is now ready to take Sesame for long car rides over bumpy roads. Yes, she is WAY more desperate than the actual goat is.

A seed-centive for knitting class tips, and two fairy tale books up for grabs. Listen to find out how!

The coolest part of doing this podcast is definitely the awesome response - thanks to all of you that have contacted me (see how seamlessly I shift into first-person).

A fiber double feature from The Green Fairy Book! Despite overwhelming response for single tales - but hey, they're short, and neither merits a whole episode, IMO. So. Enjoy this double-barreled discussion of femininity, whether you think it's accurate or no, and the cattywumpus world that is the faery tale kingdom.

Mostly knitting chat today, so non-fiber people, just take a deep breath. The theme for today's episode (not the podcast itself, which is Skullcrusher Mountain) is "Old Man" on Kate Rusby's album Awkward Annie - check it out. Women (and men) with yarn ROCK.

Also, the results of the yarncentive drawing - yay! Shownotes to follow, of course, at faeryknitting.blogspot.com - toodles.
