When I first started listening to the Knit 1, Geek 2 podcast I immediately felt as though I had found my people. This podcast is a wonderful blend of discussion regarding knitting, geek culture, gaming, movies and television. The hosts, Karen and Maggie, are both funny and also welcoming.

However, I must say that I’m a very modest wig designer. Minimal height and symmetrical decorations, please! This is what Dorothea … Continue reading Links: Wigs, Sharks, and Galentines! →

There’s a new Kickstarter causing a good amount of interest and excitement: Bea and Lea Koch are aiming to open the first romance exclusive bookstore in Los Angeles, California, and are looking for community support. The Kickstarter page has a lot of details, including how they envision the store layout: We’ve thought long and hard about how to lay out The Ripped Bodice.
