| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast. |
| 0:11.9 | This is episode number 272, which we're recording on Wednesday, June 15th, 2022. |
| 0:19.3 | I'm Gail. |
| 0:20.0 | And I'm Charlene. And I had to double think the date before I said it because it doesn't feel like it can possibly be the middle of June. |
| 0:26.7 | I know. And we are once again at the lovely campus of the University of California at Santa Cruz. So we're under the redwoods. We've been having a heat wave and today is actually tolerable. There's a little |
| 0:39.2 | breeze wafting through the car. Yeah, it feels good. Yeah, it feels nice to be out here today. |
| 0:43.7 | And today's the, or right now is the first time all day that I've been able to sit and relax. |
| 0:48.6 | Oh, nice. This feels good. All right, so what are you wearing? I have been wearing my Annabelle Blouse, which is a pattern by Sis Freedens. |
| 1:00.8 | And this top that I made back in 2020 is a basic peasant-style top that is knit top down. |
| 1:10.0 | There's no shaping to it it you start at the neckline |
| 1:14.7 | which is done in garter stitch and it's a scoop neck yeah because it's it's not super tight on the |
| 1:22.9 | neck so it wouldn't be a crew neck it's not a deep, but it's just more of a scoop neck than a crew neck. |
| 1:29.4 | So it can go over your head easily in garter stitch. |
| 1:34.2 | And then right below the garter stitch, you increase rather quickly. |
| 1:40.3 | If I recall correctly, I think all the increases happen in two rows, which creates the really nice gathers at the top right below the neckline to create that peasant blouse look. |
| 1:54.0 | So you just knit straight down once you've done all those increases, lots of fabric that drapes really nicely, and it's basically |
| 2:03.6 | three tubes. It was super easy knitting, and if I recall correctly, I used it. It was my project |
| 2:11.9 | for something that I needed an easy, easy knit for, because like I said, it's just three tubes in |
| 2:21.6 | stockinette. Very easy. And the results are quite cute. Very cute. I've been wearing it this |
| 2:28.2 | week and I want to make another one. And I definitely want to make one. I've said that off and on, |
| 2:33.1 | but seeing me wear yours on Friday, I thought, oh yeah, I definitely want to knit one. I've said that off and on, but see if you wear yours on Friday, I thought, oh, yeah, I definitely |
| 2:36.2 | want to knit one of those. |
