Episode 2 is a 2-parter!

Hello there, fiends! We got a new microphone and a new-ish camera (it's actually a really old webcam Caiti forgot about and didn't think would be much of an improvement, but live and learn!), so hopefully Episode 2 is easier on your ears and you can see our lovely WIPs better.

Our intentions are to continue with the double-feature format, playing a classic horror movie and a more obscure (at least to us) horror movie. Because we are knerds* we are going to try and keep these in theme. The first movie has a good chance of at least one of us having seen it if not both, but the second movie will be new to us!

Despite this plan, we totally went rogue for episode 2, which is a triple-feature split into 2 parts for your viewing pleasure. The middle movie neither of us had seen, but it broke our theme, and then we hated it and thought there would be no good commentary. We were wrong, so surprise extra features!

Without further ado, here is Episode 2!





Show Notes:
Movie(s): Last House on the Left (1972), Gut (2012), Open House (2010)
Drinks: Bourbon Slush (recipe courtesy of Whiskey Acres, DeKalb, IL)
Projects: Worsted Socks, Gordian Shrug (using Twisted Fiber Art's Yummy Evolution in Bookworm)
Dyed Yarn Ideas: Coming soon--I have to rewatch to figure out our final decisions!

Next Episode:
We will be watching The Omen. Let us know if you have any creepy children movie suggestions (obscure ones welcome!). We may also try our hand at some yarn dying tests in place of or along side our knitting projects. See you next month!
