Focusing on the social aspects of knitting, Andrea, Connie, Jenn, and Joanna bring to you new monthly features not only in the world of knitting, but also music, movies, fandom, gaming, sex, road trips, and more. The history of socialknitworking is a brief and brilliant one. We were innocently sitting in Rittenhouse Square, participating in Knit in Public Day (even though we have the audacity to KIP most day) when a gentleman on a bicycle rode by and yelled out to us \"SOCIAL KNITWORKING!\" We looked at each other--that\'s pretty fucking brilliant--and from that moment on our tweets had #socialknitworking attached to them, and then other people started using it... Who would have thought? Fast forward a few months and we\'re KIPing again, laughing hysterically at coniferous and carnivorous trees, practicing \"Teacher Voice\" and realizing that even though we\'re often delusional, we\'ve also quite frequently caught people laughing along with us when they thought we didn\'t know they were listening and the idea for a podcast was born. Why not share our awesome with the rest of the knitting world? Why should we KIP quietly and demurely and we can do it out loud and inappropriately? Social knitworking is about realizing the common thread (yarn) between us all--and making sure that everyone can see it. Besides, we don\'t want to live up to the drunk guy and just be a drain on society and a waste of space!

Even though this clip didn’t make it into the official podcast, we thought it would be educational to post it here in the Extras section.

And if you are thinking of recording a bumper for our podcast, you should also be aware of the contest we’re running! It’s open until we fill all five available spots.

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.
