Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 338, which we are recording on Wednesday, December 18th, 2024.

I'm Gail.

And I'm Charlene.

And we are in the forest today, and nobody is here because all the students have gone home

for the holidays and it is just beautiful out today.

It is so...

It's just delightful to be out here.

So we're recording outside.

Yay!

I couldn't stand the thought of being cooped up indoors in a hot, heated library.

So glad you decided to do this.

Yeah.

All right, so what are you wearing?

Well, I wore last weekend my sorrel pullover sweater by wool and pine.

Sorel is a top-down pullover or jumper featuring what they call dip stitches going down

the yoke of the sweater. Now what are dip stitches? Dip stitches look. I would have be giggling this

episode. I'm warning you. Dip stitches look like large stockinette stitches and these dip stitches are knit onto a background

of pearl stitches or reverse stockinette stitch if you will and so they stand out a little bit

both texturally and to look at them because it looks the stitch looks different but also because they're

larger than a regular stockinette stitch they texturally stand out as well it is really pretty

it is really pretty it's really unique and this was a sweater that I knit at the beginning of 2020.
