Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 318, which we are recording on Thursday, March 21st, 2024.

I'm Gail.

And I'm Charlene.

We've had like five takes trying to get this started,

so we're just going to go. Charlene, what do you wear? I have been wearing my calic sweater.

It is a pullover or jumper by Elizabeth Doherty. I made mine back in March of 2018, I believe right after the pattern came out,

I believe the pattern came out earlier that year, and I made mine with one strand of the

holst yarn coast and one strand of the holst yarn tides. So one strand of each of those held together.

The coast is a wool cotton and the tides is a wool silk. And the combination of the two remains one of my favorite yarn combos to this day because I just love the weight of that sweater

and I wear it all the time when it's appropriate for the weather. The calyx pullover has a lace pattern on the front of the sweater and then up on the shoulder

that continues down the sleeve and it's modified drop shoulder.

Modified meaning so that you don't feel like there's tons of extra fabric under the yarn.

It's really nice.

And like I said, it's remained one of my favorite

sweaters to this day, both for the pattern and the yarns that I used. Calix. Yeah. And that's spelled

C-A-L-Y-X by Elizabeth Doherty. What are you wearing, Gail? Well, I have been wearing the last two days my

solosta pullover, which is a sweater pattern by Kindred Red, and it's a very unique sweater.

It's knit entirely in mohair, yet you hold doubled little scraps of yarn randomly

throughout the sweater.

So at the top, it's a top-down circular yolk.

You hold little scraps more often at the top.
