    The Yarniacs Episode 330: Knitting Provisional Cast Ons

    This is the last summer episode to be recorded on campus in our "studio in the forest" as students return to campus later this month. Alas the parking patrol was already back in full force and we were forced to relocate in the middle of recording. (We were in the very back of a little-used area in order to have the quiet company of the redwoods. We weren't bothering anyone. Yet they made us leave... twice!) If you are interested in the trees and want to know what a fairy ring is, you can find more information here. Redwood trees give birth to new generations and speak to each other through their roots. They are amazing! But on to the knitting... What are we wearing?

    The Yarniacs Episode 324: Vacation Knitting

    Traveling this season? Sharlene's favorite tip is the reminder to pack your dental floss. That little cutter in the dental floss case works on yarn just as easily as the floss. (You're welcome! 😎) And a reminder that the annual Colors of Fall Knit-Along starts on or about June 20, the day of the June Solstice in your area! Gayle's vacation knitting includes: Loose Socks by Casual Fashion Queen Various hats Sweater knit in pieces Where are they now? Seduction Socks by Ann Budd Sharlene's Seduction Socks Julie's Wrap by Joji Locatelli Sharlene's Julie's Wrap Cloud Iridescence by Kathryn Bernard Sharlene's Cloud Iridescence Whisper Cardigan by Hannah Fettig Gayle's Whisper Cardigan 5200K by Suvi Simola Gayle's 5200K   Thank you to our sponsor Fluff & Nonsense Yarn!   And now, a blast from the past.

Enjoy!   Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone Music and lyrics from Vacation by Charlotte Coffey, Jane Wiedlin, and Kathy Valentine
