August’s theme is Nerdy Knitting, so fire up your Firefly DVDs and roll out your dice. In this episode, we discuss fandom knits (including Whedonverse, Warcraft, Doctor Who, and Harry Potter) and knitting for nerds and geeks; Joanna reports from the Gencon floor; Andrea interviews Terrycloth Green; we steal the “Stick It in Your Queue” segment from the sadly defunct Dharmalars podcast.

This past weekend found two of our SocialKnitworking heroines, Andrea and Joanna, in New York City for several epic adventures. Apparently, as early as Friday night, there was so much epic just at rock show with Shael Riley and Schaffer the Darklord that Joanna… well, let’s just listen to her voicemail, shall we?

A full recap of this adventure weekend, including a review of the Shael/Schaffer show plus our thoughts on the Video Game Vixens burlesque, will be covered in our inaugaral podcast on Nerdy Knitting, coming at you end of August.
