Episode 114: Unravel

In this episode, Anne falls down a rabbit hole regarding the etymology of the word steek and how the use of the term in knitting has evolved through the years.   Please note that the episode uses the words fagot and fagoting, which are crafting terms that, despite having different spelling than a perjoritive term, are pronounced the same way. If hearing the terms may cause you discomfort, please skip this episode or fast-forward from the end of the first song to the start of the second song.
