Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

0:12.1

This is episode number 264, which we are recording on Wednesday, February 23, 2022.

0:19.7

I'm Gail.

0:20.8

And I'm Charlene. And what are you wearing today? Well, what I have been

0:25.8

wearing is my Ellery sweater by Elizabeth Doherty. Ellery is a circular yoke pullover with slipstick
