Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast. This is episode 232, which we are recording on Thursday, November 19th, 2020. I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And we are flying through November. The month is going

0:24.7

much faster than I expected it to. It is. It's the month with wings, seriously. Yes, because

0:32.2

next week is U.S. Thanksgiving. That's crazy. So, yeah, the beginning of the serious holiday season here in the United

0:39.2

States. Crazy, crazy. It is. And happy Diwali to everybody who celebrated. That just passed, and that

1:56.0

So having made it myself, of course, I notice. The sleeves are also shaped a little differently

2:10.5

than I would normally shape a sleeve if I were just going off pattern and knitting my own sleeve.

2:19.4

But it works as well.

2:21.2

So I'm really happy with this sweater.
