The Yarniacs: A Knitting Podcast Gayle & Sharlene

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

And now, a blast from the past.
Specifically, our past! Some vacation tips from baby podcasters Gayle and Sharlene. Fortunately, these travel tips still hold up, and we thought we'd share again. 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

Just 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!

Pilling. We've all had a sweater, shirt, or even exercise-wear fabric that pills. What can be done about those frustrating pills and how do you remove them?

Last month, a group of Yarniacs listeners got together in Cincinnati. Though Gayle and Sharlene were not able to attend, a wonderful time was had by all and we are hoping to do it again next year. There is a survey available for a future Yarniacs retreat/event here. If you are interested in such a future event, take a look. Thank you for helping us out.
