Yarns and Tales

Howdy y’all!! Welcome to the 100th episode of Yarns and Tales! This has been a great adventure so far and I look forward to the adventures left to come.  For this show I recap the previous 99 shows but not how you might expect.  Please join me for a fun little episode before we follow […]

Howdy y’all!  Welcome to the 99th edition of Yarns and Tales!  This show is simply “outta this world”.  Well, not really but close.  Our project came from a newsletter in my inbox. After a couple of link hops, I made it to this lovely knitted head band that could be whipped up into one or […]

In this 98th episode of Yarns and Tales, I chat about the “go to” yarn-based gift when you’re invited to give a baby shower gift. I also make mention of “Now-n-Later” gifts for baby, “New Mommy/Daddy Coupons”, and ask y’all about teaching others your yarning skill and whether you have or would do it again.  […]

Howdy y’all! Welcome to the 97th episode of Yarns and Tales!!  This show is about the adventure of trying to do the project of a snowman head jar cozy found over at Red Heart Yarns then a review of trying out Red Heart’s Sashay Fabric for making a quick neck scarf or boa. There’s no […]

Well, howdy y’all! Welcome to Yarns and Tales episode number 96!  Today I chat about a new yarn, seasonal hells, gifting, and cheesecake.  Not a bad conversation, huh?  Make yourself comfy, grab your yarns, and let’s get started!

Howdy y’all, and welcome to YaT episode 94!!  This week is a quickie show as it’s simply been “one of those weeks”.  Today, I chat about a knitted jute cord project for the eating holidays or just for home decor if you’re into the current burlap themes, although simply calling it ‘rustic’ works well too.  […]

Howdy y’all!  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!  It’s episode 93, and it’s my birthday today, the anniversary of my successful escape from my mother’s womb!  (Yay to the both of us really.)  This show took a bit of effort to get through but I succeeded, mostly.  In this YaT, I chat about my birthday, cough […]

Well, howdy y’all and welcome to episode 92 of Yarns and Tales.  Today I chat with y’all about my adventure of crocheting with 3-ply jute cording using a size “P”/11.5mm hook.  Afterwards, I share a bit about a complaint a couple of my seasoned students have about patterns and how they are written.  Feeling curious?  […]

Welcome back to Yarns and Tales!  It’s episode 91, and I share my adventures of my past week which was most of the distraction part of the title plus review this awesome little book I bought recently for knitters called “Cast On, Bind Off” by Leslie Ann Bestor.  I also may have mentioned a bit […]
