Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 268, which we are recording on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022.

I'm Gail.

And I'm Charlene.

And we are at one of our favorite outdoor recording areas,

which is the local golf course. So hopefully there will be birds and maybe a frog or two.

Yes. I've been hearing woodpeckers. And we've seen a hawk already. And this is where we saw

turkeys last time we were here. So you just never know what you're going to hear. All right. What are you wearing? I am actually officially wearing a sweater

right now and I am wearing my Granito, which is a pattern by Hoheilo Keteli. And the pattern page for

Granito describes it as a basic sweater with a relaxed fit and big pockets on the sides.

It's the perfect garment for lounging and relaxing, which it really is.

I have determined that, yes, this is the perfect garment for lounging and relaxing.

The fact that I made mine in a marino-cashmir silk blend helps a bit as well,

because it is a luxurious yarn, very soft.

I have been wearing this sweater for the past little while a lot, wearing it just at home as the big sweatshirt sweater, wearing it out of the house, and it's comfy and perfect for the weather that we are having right now. In fact, I've noticed very recently that I need to depil it a bit. So that will be the next task, I think, to depil this. I think that's a

good sign. It shows that you're wearing it and loving it and appreciating it. Absolutely. I think we

should embrace the pill. Yeah. And at the Knockers retreat, which I attended this past weekend, in fact, one of our

friends' retreat attendee Sarah was wearing her granito. And it put me in the mind of knitting

another one.

So I have been discussing that with Gail by text

for the last 12 hours or so

about my possible yarn selections from my stash.
