Ep. 075 Highlights from the Past 74 Episodes including Insights, Favorite Projects, Brainy and Redwood Curtain Segments

Welcome to Episode 75:  Highlights from the Past 74 Episodes

Our Learning and Favorite Projects in Knitting over the last year

Margaret shares insights she’s learned about in her knitting in general (like she loves stockinette aesthetically but doesn’t enjoy knitting a lot of it) and Catherine states that she’s enjoyed observing how her skills have increased.

Favorite Brainy Segments

Catherine was fascinated by learning about the Forgetting Curve (Ep. 34  3.1.16) and Margaret by Happy Brain Chemicals (Ep. 69 4.1.17)

Memorable Behind the Redwood Curtain Segments

Catherine enjoyed delving deeper into the life of the sand dollar even though she’s been picking them up all her life.  Margaret is still smitten with the Humboldt Botanical Garden.

A Little Podcast Business

A couple of podcast business updates  —  First, if I’ve announced that you’ve won something but you haven’t gotten it yet, please contact me at Margaret 924 on Ravelry and let me know.  Next, I’ve updates the indices on our website and our “Pages” on our Ravelry site.   That means if there is a segment we’ve talked about either in the Brainy Thing or Redwood Curtain and now since January 2016 even our knitting topics, you can easily look it up and find the appropriate episodes to listen or the show notes for links.   And for awhile now, I’ve been putting our shownotes not only on our Website — teaching our brain to knit — but also our Ravelry page thread for that episode and for most people, you should be able to find our show notes with links on your podcast aggregator — apple podcasts, stitcher, overcast and soon on Spotify — right in the episode — with links.
This episode of Teaching your Brain to Knit is a little bit different than our usual ones.   It is episode 75, and as Catherine points out, our diamond jubilee and we review some of our favorite knitting, brain information and Behind the Redwood Curtain segments.  We’ll return to our regular format in the next episode.

Redflags in scientific research, Knit in place sock patches; Tips for re-knitting a pattern; The world’s last old growth redwood forrest; Give-aways for membership incentives and books.
