| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast. This is episode number 362, which we are recording on Tuesday, November 25th, 2025. I'm Gail. And I'm Charlene. And we're at the Yacht Harbor today. It's a beautiful |
| 0:23.2 | day in Santa Cruz and we did not want to be cooped up. So we just could not stand the thought of |
| 0:28.9 | being indoors because it's absolutely glorious out today. Blue skies, a little bit of a breeze. It's |
| 0:36.5 | still chilly enough that we're both in hand-knits. |
| 0:39.8 | You're going to hear seagulls and who knows what else we might do today. So hopefully you enjoy the ambient soundness. |
| 0:47.0 | All right. What are you wearing? Well, I have been wearing all the shawls. I was trying to pick one. I was trying to pick one that I have been wearing all the shawls I was trying to pick one I was trying to pick one that I have |

| 1:42.3 | I'll bet, yeah. |
| 1:43.3 | It's like a chip in the wayback machine. |
| 1:46.7 | Yes. That's what it called, right? Yeah. So that is what I have been wearing. Not very exciting |
| 1:52.4 | since I can't pick one specific one, but it's just really fun to be able to do that. |
| 1:57.7 | I think that is fun, and it is kind of inspiring of inspiring me once again to pull out the shawls because |
| 2:03.6 | it's definitely shawl weather around here just chilly enough. I encourage it. And what are you |
| 2:09.8 | wearing, Gail? Well today I am wearing my forever 16 sweater which is a pattern by Minami knit |
