Pardon My Stash

Meg & Drea Might Buy An Alpaca Farm Mar 06, 2025

Tina says they have a lot to cover! First things first, a moment of silence for Joann's closing down - a U.S. based craft store retailer that has been in business for over 80 years. Don't worry, Meg's mom is buying her quilting fabric online now, so she's all good! Tina discusses the fake funny story how Michaels and Joann's were once a married couple, fought about what a craft store should be, and they got divorced and made their own stores. Jess reminisces about "cosplay" days to grab fabrics for different costumes. Drea mentions she is making out well with the yarn sales from the liquidation. Meg offers the idea of giving turtles to random people to help with Drea's excessive crochet turtle problem.

Tina asks our listeners to send in questions they may have about our different projects we work on such as yarn dyeing, pattern designing, and podcasting to help us create mini bonus episodes to sprinkle into our regular episode releases. You can send these questions in through our website using on contact form found at the bottom of all pages.

Next, Tina brings up questions and topic suggestions the cast has received from Discord and email submissions. They go through lots of different questions and ideas, and also pick some to save for a full episode later on!

This or That Feb 06, 2025

Welcome to Season 5! For 2025, Drea asks our fiber loving crew for updates from when we were gone during our annual break in January. Drea announces she has a "banger" for an episode, and starts a game of This or That. After being confused about the only rule of the game for a moment, Drea starts with easy questions like knit or purl, and progressively gets harder and harder for everyone to answer. Jess keeps their answers to what they don't hate just yet - keyword, yet! Tina goes brioche "all day every day". Drea considers enterlac for a hat project. Meg likes to use feather and fan for the edges of projects over herringbone, and dislikes lacework because a mistake is catastrophic and not easy to fix. There are much more choices made! See if your choice aligns with some of the cast members! Stay until the end to hear a fun Frank-provided "this or that".

Holiday Special Dec 27, 2024

It's that time of year again! Pardon My Stash likes to feature our bloopers from the past year as our final episode of the season. This year features the sound board misbehaving, perfectly timed accidental noises, distractions, as well as segments that didn't make it off the cutting floor. Tina takes you through each of the clips that she has saved throughout the year while editing the main podcast episodes.

As a reminder, we take a break in January from recording. Our next episode will post in February. We will see you after the break!
