33: Chs 6–7 — The Turn of the Screw

This week--Chapters 6-7! Okay, and you're not really strangers but y'all sure are kind! Some fun with YouTube and Dante, Julie's socks (whoo hoo!) and 1400 A.D. knit pic More Organic info from Dawn (worth a look-see)! Seventh Generation and Land Stewardship Project Janet's pomo fun And then--That Darn Governess and her latent class and boy issues!!!BTW: we didn't have time for these which I got off of a Knitter's Review forum. Did you know these superstitions?It's bad luck to leave a project unfinished. The intended recipient will get bad luck from the unfinished item.Stabbing your needles though your yarn balls brings bad luck to anyone who wears something made from that yarn.Don't knit a pair of socks for your boyfriend or he'll walk away from you.If you knit one of your own hairs into a garment, it will bind the recipient to you.Knitting for children you may have in the future, but before you are pregnant, is bad luck (it may prevent one from getting pregnant, or bring ill health to the baby).And Interesting Latvian beliefs about mittens!1. Mittens and socks should be knitted in summer, then they will be warm, soft and strong.2. One should not wash new mittens when there is an old moon, they will lose their color and let through the wind.3. One should not wipe their nose in a mitten. Whoever does that never gets rich.4. One should not give their hand to another with a mitten on, otherwise they will give away their luck.And, again, thanks to Nikolle Doolin for her SEXY reading of Henry James' Turn of the Screw.2026 Author Revision: Dead links removed.*CraftLit's Socials*• Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel• Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9• Podcast site: http://craftlit.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/• Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit• Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/• TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit• Email: [email protected]• Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023*SUPPORT THE SHOW!*• CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available)• PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below)——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties*All tiers and benefits are also available as*—*YouTube Channel Memberships*—*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit—*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/*IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.
