This episode is somewhat of a unique experiment for the Savvy Girls: an entire podcast done in one sitting. Topics were chosen at random from a hat (plus a couple from Twitter) and the girls had to talk about the chosen topic until the timer runs out.
Hope you like this one — let us know what you think of it!
The holidays have come and gone, but the Savvy Girls are still feeling festive!
After a quick life and news update, Deborah gets a chance to talk about her knitting.
Savvy Dad answers some more listener questions, and Savvy Mom and Deborah review and critique the September 2011 issue of Creative Knitting Magazine.
The gerbils proudly return with some musical cheer; and Deborah reads some holiday-themed knit-lit: The Telltale Tile from Kristy’s Queer Christmas.
Our heroines finish off their latest South American adventure with this continuation of their trip to the Galapagos Islands.
Melanie and Deborah are still traveling!
Listen as they weave their way through the craziness of the Mama Negra festival in Latacunga, perform at the Canadian ambassador’s house, and attempt to find their sea legs on the way to the Galapagos Islands.
This is the first part of their Galapagos trip; the second half (which is also the last episode in this travel series) will be posted soon.
The Girls’ adventures from Ecuador continue, as they… get closer to nature…
In this episode, we pick up where the last one left off, as The Savvy Girls cover the second day of this year’s Rhinebeck festival.
Listener Cynthia asks Savvy Dad a question, then Deborah tries to interview Designer Stephen West… but gets interrupted by a very enthusiastic fan.
The Girls have an enlightening chat with David from Crimson Shamrock Alpacas; and they talk to Alasdair Post-Quinn, Shannon Okey, Anna Dalvi, Heather Ordover, Andi Smith, and Stephannie Tallent from Cooperative Press.
Finally, they review how they did on their Rhinebeck scavenger hunt.

In this episode, join Melanie and Deborah for their adventures on the first day of Rhinebeck, 2011.
The Girls met lots of great people, and had the pleasure of talking to several of them in this show, including:
Episode 61 will be out soon, with more Rhinebeck-y goodness.
In the mean time, you can listen to the shows from our first and second visits to the festival.
This weekend (October 14-16), the Savvy Girls are going to Rhinebeck! (AKA The New York Sheep & Wool Festival)
They’re super-excited, and they’ve got lots of related fun planned. If you’re in the area, come by one of the meetups (details below) and say hi.
Shockingly enough, though, there is life outside of Rhinebeck.
Deborah has been sewing.
Melanie and Savvy Mom interviewed a very creative knitter at the local farmer’s market.
The next Canadian Special Olympics are being held in the Savvy Girls’ home town. Support the games by knitting or crocheting a scarf for the participants!
