	Description:		In this episode, we talk about our adventures in knitting (mostly the same as last week, with one finished object) as well as spinning and dyeing. There’s news from the first couple days of San Diego Comic-Con (not firsthand, sadly), some out of this world news (sorry, couldn’t resist) with what may be Neil Gaiman’s moon (snerk) as well as more geeky reading. Finally, we share another favourite indie dyer as well as a fanartist that had Karen melting into a puddle of goo. Not that that’s terribly hard. Discussed in this episode: Hansa Mittens (one! one mitten finished! hahaha…) Marywarmers Aphrodite Socks Spinning fibers explained courtesy of Ask the Bellwether and BellaOnline Wool2Dye4 Ghost Story, the next book in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher Comic-Con updates: ComingSoon.net, Topless Robot, a report on the line for the Twilight: Breaking Dawn panel and a bullet point about Andy Serkis’ cameo at the Adventures of Tintin panel (is there no video of this?
