Summary

This episode finds us back in our usual recording spot (my dining table) after recording "in the field" for the past two episodes. We are definitely back in our groove, post-analysis paralysis. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing since for both of us, analysis paralysis seems to yield lots of knit hats for charity! In my case, being trapped in a yarn store adds to the donation pile as well!

Lots of project talk, color talk, and new patterns to check out. Fall--not winter--is coming, and we want to be prepared with the colors and styles of Fall!

Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast.

0:10.4

This is episode 42, which we are recording on Friday, August night.

0:15.2

I can't believe it's already August.

0:16.5

August, almost middle of August.

0:18.1

I know already.

0:19.2

I'm Gail.

0:19.8

And I'm Charlene. And what are you wearing?

0:22.5

I am wearing an oldie but a goodie that I have talked about many times before. It is called the

0:28.0

February lady sweater by Pamela Wynn. And because I've worn it, because I wear it a lot and I've

0:34.5

talked about it before, I probably don't need to say too much about it other than the fact that there are 12,000 plus projects listed for this sweater on Ravelry.

0:46.3

Yes, 12,000. I believe it is one of the patterns with most projects on Ravelry. I can't confirm that, but I believe it is one of the patterns with most projects on Ravelry.

I can't confirm that, but I believe it is one of the top sweaters, one of the top

shelf floor but it's an old like I said an oldie but a goodie I wear it a lot and I really

1:23.5

am to the point where I should probably make a replacement sweater because she's looking

1:32.1

down at hers and analyzing it. Mostly I should make a replacement sweater because I don't

1:39.1

particularly care for this color anymore. I made it, well, I got the yarn when I first started knitting and I was

1:47.6

knitting a lot of blues because I thought it was kind of a neutral color and I wanted sweaters
