Show notes

We share a little nostalgia for an annual fiber event, cancelled due to the global pandemic.

Our lives have been made richer by these experiences and we hope to be able to share time together in the future!

The Yarniacs Episode 236: Happy 9th Anniversary! Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

Thanks so much for being a listener of The Yarniacs Podcast! If you've listened for a length of time you may know that a few years ago Gayle and I started celebrating our podcast anniversary with a special episode. Largely because if we didn't put it on our calendar and plan something, we'd forget and the date would pass unnoticed as it did for the first few years.
