Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 315, which we are recording on Wednesday, February 7th,

2024. I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And we are recording remotely today for the first time

since the COVID lockdowns. So this is going to be interesting. Hopefully it is a raging success.

Hopefully it's a success and hopefully I've done it properly. Yes, we were laughing at ourselves because it's crazy how quickly we forgot how to do remote recordings.

Yes, we really have.

All right, so what are you wearing?

Well, though I'm not wearing it right now, what I pulled out this week from the sweater

bags was my confetti. Confetti is a pullover sweater written by Vera Vallimaki, and I have made

two of these sweaters, and I wore my faded version of this garment that I made in

2017. The pattern is from March of 2017 and I guess I know we both really liked it a lot because

apparently I made two right away in 2017.

So did I.

Yep.

Confetti is a basic raglan with a line shaping.

And I would call this one a bit of extreme a line shaping because it really, really adds

a lot of stitches from under the bust all the way down

to the hem of the sweater. It adds, I want to say, as written, it probably adds stitches every four

rows or something dramatic, yeah. Something very dramatic, so it's extremely's extremely a line and when i did my versions

i did not add quite as many increases as were written into the original pattern but i do like

that a line shaping of it so this one was a big win for me. I really liked it and still wearing. It's also a simple

sweater. So for people who are looking for a first time sweater, it's a pretty good option, I think.
