Howl-O-Ween, Dire Wolves, Bury Me With My Stash!

from Rumpel and the Frog · host Rumpel and the Frog

The second in a three-part mini-series about real-life giants, in this episode we take a trip back in time to explore dire wolves. Where and when did these super-sized wolves live? How did they meet their extinction? How are they featured in pop culture (Game of Thrones, anyone?) today? Rumpel shares all the fascinating tidbits she’s learned about the remains of dire wolves found in the La Brae tar pits, and Frog has gone foraging for some excellent wolfish projects to stitch. One amazing project just might be designed by the amazing Rumpel herself! Tune in to hear about the Capitoline Wolf, too, and the legendary she-wolf who helped to raise Romulus, the founder and namesake of ancient Rome. Rumpel also has some glorious hand-spun victories to share, meanwhile Frog is obsessed with her Cowl-O-Ween knit-along. Dire Wolves may have have been buried in tar pits, but at least they were enjoying their prey. To this we say, “Bury me with my stash!”
