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.
