Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

This is episode number 353, which we are recording on Sunday, July 27, 2025.

I'm Gail.

And I'm Charlene. And as you can tell by my voice, I am ill. I actually got COVID for the first time ever. It was kind of insulting, if I'm honest. So we are recording

a little bit later than normal. And what else is new? And we are recording a little bit later than normal.

And what else is new? And we are recording remotely.

Yeah.

Which means Gail is in her location.

I am in my location.

And it took a little figuring out to remember how to do this again.

Yes, I of course did not want to infect anyone, especially not my best knitting friend ever.

So we are not anywhere near each other at the moment.

I'm isolated, of course.

And yeah, it took us a little bit of finesse to figure out what buttons to click and what microphones to use and which had phones to be on.

Definitely did. Yeah, definitely did. But finally, here we are. Here we are. So what are you wearing?

Well, I wore my calyx this week. Calix is a pattern by Elizabeth Doherty. I have made two versions,

and the one that I wore was my linen version. Calyx is a pullover with a panel of lace stitches

or open work stitches down the front. It fits very nicely as most of the

Elizabeth Doherty sweaters do, and I really enjoy wearing that one. What are you wearing,

Gail? Well, I'm wearing my Yarnix t-shirt right now because it's not really

knitwear weather out at the moment and the thing i did bring over i'm if i didn't mention i'm

recording at my neighbor's house where i'm isolated from everybody because they're out of town
