Knitting Time Together: Stuffed Morris

Knitting Time Together, Episode 4

Date: April 25, 2007

Full episode: From Norway To Tacoma

Summary: I’m glad I have at least one nice song around to offer to nice podcasts such as Theresa’s fledgling Knitting Time Together.

This week, Theresa played The Ballad Of Morris The Cat as a tribute to her undersupervised pet Franky, who somehow survived a shocking incident where he stuck his head inside a bottle.

“This is The Ballad of Morris The Cat, by Ken Tur-zee-ky?” Theresa offers, contributing yet another novel pronunciation of my last name to the expanding list.

No batteries required

But there’s also a nice interview about knitting and embroidery from Norway with a lady named Gloria, who lives in the nursing home where Theresa helps out as a volunteer. Did I mention how nice of a podcast this was?

Next, Theresa reads letters from fans of the show. “I had some questions answered by Angel,” she says. “In response to the question, ‘What’s the strangest thing you ever crocheted?’ Her response was a stuffed penis.

“And I think I know where the pattern is for that, Angel. I’ve just not gotten around to crocheting it,” Theresa adds before smoothly turning to the next subject: “Have you ever participated in charity knitting?”

Mission statement

“I want to create an oral history about fiber arts,” Theresa writes on her site. “I love the story behind why people do what they do. I think that fiber arts hold special places in people’s lives and that there are always stories behind it.”

You’re off to a great start, Theresa!

   Ken Turetsky wrote a really funny and nice review of the show on his web page. Nice to get some notice form someone outside of the fiber world.
