We chat a little bit about the explosion of mini-skein sets/kits (also sold as countdown sets, or Advent sets or leftover scraps!) and patterns to go along with them.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.
0:11.1	This is episode number 261, which we are recording on Friday, December 31st, 2021 last day of the year.
0:20.2	Woohoo. I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And we're once again in the mobile studio. We are parked
0:25.1	in a very beautiful location. One of our local golf courses, we're on the edge. So if you
0:30.9	hear the sound of someone yelling, four, it's because there might be a ball headed our way.
0:36.7	Hopefully we don't hear any cracking of balls against the car. I don't think we will because I think it's getting less crowded as we get later into the day. Yeah. And we finally have sun in Santa Cruz. It's been raining quite a bit. So everybody's out and about because they can be. Yes. All right. What are you wearing? Okay. Well, the first thing I wanted to say is that
0:57.5	I have not kept up with wearing a hand knit every day. Oh, I have actually. I have tried and then
1:04.7	I have had too many at-home days where I have just totally forgotten, just totally forgotten. And though I often wear a shawl
1:16.9	at home or grab a blanket, I'm pretty sure that I have missed days. And I certainly have days,

1:32.8	So I think I'm out of the running for perfect attendance in that one.
1:39.4	But I am wearing my Ellery sweater today.
1:43.2	This is a pattern by Elizabeth Doherty and I knit mine in one strand of a
1:52.7	smooth sock yarn and one strand of a silk mohair blend. So it's delightfully soft and squishy. It's also the
2:07.0	really low micron yarn from Western Skynitz. Marino 17 light. Yeah. Yes. So it's very,
2:16.6	very soft. And I just, I love this sweater so much. Yeah. Yes. So it's very, very soft.
2:20.7	And I just, I love this sweater so much. The Ellery sweater is a pullover with textured slip stitches around the yolk.
2:28.8	So they don't show up as well perhaps because of the mohair but they show up well enough they're really pretty
2:37.7	yeah and the yarn that I used very very lightly speckled so it doesn't overwhelm the pattern
2:44.8	and we are in an area where people are walking their dogs it's the weirdest thing people are
2:50.4	driving up and parking on a golf course to walk their dogs.
