Knit A Spell

In this week's episode, Katie and Jim talk about the magic of REST and how it applies to knitting, crafting, witch crafting, work, and life in general! We talk about related Greek Gods of rest for inspiration, how to break with intention, and how this can help knitters with their mountain of UFOs. Find out a 'UFO' means to a knitter if you don't already!

The coin flip has been used to make yes or no desisions since at least the Roman Empire, so we decided to do a deep dive into lucky coins for this month's theme of Luck Magic! From lucky pennies to poke chips, we talk about types of coins from around the world, how to use them, and what types of decisions it's been used to make in history. Spoiler alert: the Superb Owl uses it every year!

We also talk about how Katie plans on using this method to HOPEFULLY help pick some lucky slot machines while she's in Las Vegas. Will she be successful? Tune in later this month!

Luck be a Katie! Or so we hope as Katie takes Knit A Spell on location to Las Vegas at the end of the month to test if magic and intuition influence luck and gambling!

But first, we need to get our lucky ducks in a row - let's make some lucky charms and talismans thanks to Madame Pamita at Parlour of Wonders who sent Katie a box of lucky items to use! We unbox the items, break down their uses, and talk all about lucky talismans and charms for gambling and more in this week's episode!

We dive into the topic of gnomes and why knitting them are so satisfying with our special guest, designer and podcast host of Imagined Landscapes: Sarah Schira! Katie and Jim talk with Sarah about how knitting entered her life during a much-needed time and how gnomes found their way into being her most beloved subject matter.

Sarah shares a story about her interaction with what might have been a real-live gnome, and Jim bonds with our guest over their mutual love of gnomes and how Jim found a book on the topic that influenced him forever.

Sarah reflect on how gnomes are a perfect project to learn and improve on knitting skills because they can be more easily seen as play instead of work. This is a wonderfully inspiring episode on how knitting and everything we do can carry intention!

Find out more about our amazing guest Sarah Schira below.
