Summary

Traveling this season? Sharlene's favorite tip is the reminder to pack your dental floss. That little cutter in the dental floss case works on yarn just as easily as the floss. (You're welcome! 😎)

And a reminder that the annual Colors of Fall Knit-Along starts on or about June 20, the day of the June Solstice in your area!

Gayle's vacation knitting includes:

Loose Socks by Casual Fashion Queen

Various hats

Sweater knit in pieces

Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

0:11.0

This is episode number 324, which we are recording on Tuesday, May 28, 2024.

0:19.0

I'm Gail.

0:20.0

And this is really weird for us because we just finished

0:22.9

recording the last episode. So do you guys, it's been two weeks and for us it's been five minutes.

0:29.4

But I am going to be traveling for most of the month of June. So we are recording this early

0:36.6

and we're not following our normal format

0:39.6

because we just talked about what we've been knitting and stocking and all those things.

0:44.7

So what we're going to talk about a little bit is vacation and travel knitting. And conveniently,

1:01.4

And again, in episode number 169.

but on most dental floss cases to cut the floss, there's a little cutter.

2:02.2

And that cutter will cut your yarn just as easily as it cuts dental floss.
