Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 201, which we're recording on Saturday, September 7th, 2019.

I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And we're again at the University of

California at Santa Cruz, probably our last one this summer because school will be back in session

soon. They're on the quarter system, so they don't start until mid to late September.

So move in will be pretty soon. In a couple weeks.

Which means we won't be here anymore.

And that's sad because just as we pulled up, we saw a mommy deer and her baby go wandering through.

That was very nice and peaceful. And we're under a tree right now that's dropping stuff straight into our laps.

So if you hear little clinks and stuff, we apologize, but the tree is like trying

to tell us we're not welcome here or something. It's like Wizard of Falls. All right, so

what are you wearing? I was wearing my love note sweater, which is a pattern by Tin Can Nits.

I was wearing the first love note that I made, which I made in a Madeline Tosh yarn that they

don't make anymore. It's a linen wool blend that turned out really nice. I was just telling

somebody that the reason I used that yarn is because it was that odd amount.

It was two skeins and I had had it in my stash for so long and didn't quite know what to make with it.

So I was very happy to have found a pattern to use it for.

Yes, you were telling Tamara.

Our friend Tamara came up to Santa Cruz and we just

got to spend a little while with her at the yarn store, which is very delightful. I don't know

what kind of word that is. Is it a squirrel? I think it's a squirrel. I don't know if the microphone's

picking it up, but it's pretty funny. Yeah, it's up in the crook of that tree, right?
