| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast. This is episode number 323, which we are recording on Tuesday, May 28th, |
| 0:17.0 | 2024. I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And what are you wearing? Well, I've mentioned this |
| 0:25.1 | sweater so many times on the podcast that I sometimes think I should pick a |
| 0:30.4 | different sweater to wear the week of recording or the day of recording. But |
| 0:36.8 | honestly, you all deserve to know which are my |
| 0:40.4 | most worn sweaters. And this one certainly qualifies. It is Donner by Elizabeth Doherty. |
| 0:47.6 | The Donner pattern has recently been updated to 12 sizes. So that's really nice. 30 inches to 64 inches, 78 centimeters |
| 1:00.0 | to 162 centimeters, and it features a modified drop shoulder shaping so that it fits better |
| 1:09.0 | than just three tubes connected at the yolk. Highly recommend. Mine is made |
| 1:16.3 | out of a linen yarn. This is Antigone from Rurumdunura. Yes, thank you very much, Gail. |

| 1:46.2 | steaming it or ironing it because if you have had linen clothing in the past, you know that |
| 1:53.9 | linen can get wrinkles just from being worn. Well, and my sweaters can get wrinkles just from |
| 2:00.2 | being folded and put away. |
| 2:02.6 | So popping it in the dryer is perfect. |
| 2:06.2 | That also serves to soften the yarn every time I do it, and it's delightful. |
| 2:11.7 | Nice. |
| 2:12.8 | So Donner, by Elizabeth Doherty. |
| 2:15.1 | What are you wearing, Gail? |
| 2:16.2 | Well, it's going to be the Elizabeth Doherty episode because I recently wore my finished Squam sweater, |
