Backstage Knitting Pilot! Ep1

Backstage Knitting Podcast

Bethany and Anna introduce themselves. They talk about how they met, started in theater and started knitting.
On The Needles:
Anna is knitting for her Etsy shop. She is also working on a Sky Scarf from the book "Knit The Sky" by Lea Redmond
Bethany is knitting a vanilla sock with the Fish Lips Kiss heel by the Sox Therapist with Madeline Tosh Sock yarn in what looks like the Magic color way
She is also working on her Coffee Date Shawl by C.C. Almon of the Geeky Girls Knit Podcast
Bethany is also working on some Christmas knitting.
Off The Needles:
Bethany finished her first of the Madeline Tosh vanilla socks.
In Time Out:
Anna frogged the sweater that was knit for her trip Edinburgh this past May. She also has a Tomten sweater by Elizabeth Zimmerman that is in time out too. Anna dubbed Bethany the Knitting Whisperer due to Beth's amazing ability to coax cranky projects into behaving.
Bethany has nothing specifically in time out. Except for a very old Harry Potter sweater from "Charmed Knits" that has been in time out since 2011.
Netflix and Knit:
Anna just finished watching Season 2 of Penny Dreadful. She also recently started Season 3 of Ripper Street, season one of Charmed and a general re-watch of Once Upon A Time.
Bethany is watching Season 5 of Gilmore Girls, Season 7 of Friends, Season 1 of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Series 2 of Doctor Who. She recently saw Finding Dory with her boyfriend, Nic.
In Rehearsal:
Anna is starting rehearsals for Three Poets later in August. She will be costuming this production and probably stage managing.
