Happy Fall everyone! Have you had a chance to wear something cozy and/or woolly yet? I am excited that I can throw a shawl around my neck or shoulders almost every day now.

Show notes

For your listening pleasure, we share some designs we fondly call Knitting Oddities. Patterns and projects meant to bring a little smile, a little laugh, or just make you wonder "Hmm." :) :) :) We both needed a little something to brighten our day when we met to record this episode, and oddly, we had already planned this segment. And it worked! We both felt a little better chatting about these laughter-inspiring projects and patterns. Whether or not you need a laugh to brighten your day we hope you will enjoy scrolling through these knitting oddities. - Sharlene What are we wearing?

The Yarniacs Episode 122: Knitting to the Last Light of Summer! Sep 02, 2016

Show notes

In episode 122 we recorded our last summer episode for the season out and about. The light is changing and it will be darker earlier, making evenings of recording in the car difficult. This time we were on the UC campus at the top of the hill. We didn't see a lot of the usual wildlife, but we did stop for a peek at this spectacular view as we were leaving. This is the view looking towards Monterey and it is probable that a lot of the bright red is caused by smoke due to the still burning Soberanes fire.

The Yarniacs Episode 121: Knitting All the Donners! Aug 19, 2016

Show notes

This week we are out and about again. I think this will be a new summer tradition--recording in fun locations. This week we visit the harbor, with some sea lions and you might hear some gulls in the background. We took photos of both of our Donner sweaters, which I just finished, and Gayle was binding off while we recorded. You will hear all about these sweaters on the podcast. Are you knitting something for our fall KAL? There is about a month to go. Time to finish what is on the needles or cast on something small. Remember, the styling is the fun part of this KAL. Please photograph your garment with a fall look. You can wear the outfit or just lay it out for the photograph. Just make sure your entry photo shows us the whole look. It is so inspirational to look through everyone's outfits and think about the coming season. - Sharlene What are we wearing?

The Yarniacs Episode 119: Knitting with the Turkeys Jul 22, 2016

Show notes

This week we record again up in the redwoods with appearances by just a few critters, the mule deer and the turkeys. Neither were much bothered by our appearance and it was fun to sit and watch them before we started recording. We hope you enjoy our occasional "Where are they now?" segment, revisiting knits from the past, including a few sweaters we've given away, a sweater win, and a hat fail. Happy knitting!
