The Yarniacs: A Knitting Podcast

Gayle and Sharlene search for the ever-elusive perfect yarn for the perfect project. The Yarniacs Podcast is an audio podcast coming to you from the coast of California. Join us!

The perfect yarn.

Does such a thing exist? Every knitter has a favorite yarn. But every knitter knows that their perfect yarn is not perfect for every project. So we knitters tend to hold dear several favorite yarns. We have a perfect sock yarn. Or a perfect wool blend. A perfect yarn for outerwear. Sometimes even one skein of too-precious-to-use perfectly dyed yarn. (You know you have one!)

Once you have the perfect yarn though, you need an accompanying perfect project. But the perfect project is a dynamic concept--always changing and occasionally slipping away. Varying styles, colors, and seasons come into play. So the search is always on.

But we are willing to accept the challenge. The constant search for the perfect yarn, matched with the perfect project. Who are we? Two knitting besties in search of the perfect yarn. Bring it!

The Yarniacs Episode 119: Knitting with the Turkeys

Jul 22, 2016

 


This week we record again up in the redwoods with appearances by just a few critters, the mule deer and the turkeys. Neither were much bothered by our appearance and it was fun to sit and watch them before we started recording. We hope you enjoy our occasional "Where are they now?" segment, revisiting knits from the past, including a few sweaters we've given away, a sweater win, and a hat fail. Happy knitting!
