  • Episode 59: Yarns and Tales: Spring Sweaters and Sprung Waters

    With a shiver in my bones, I cast on episode 59 full of energy and spunk this week.  After the usual weird-southern-weather report, I update everyone on the Spring feline sweater project which is then followed by my jazzed news from earlier in my week.  This, of course, tangented into the tale of broken waters […]

  • Episode 57: Yarns and Tales: She Threatened My Needles and Hooks!

    Episode 57 cast on without any trouble, although keying in the show notes didn’t prove quite so smooth.  I chatted about how the crocheted cat sweater finished out, quite adorably I might add, as well as my unavoidable froggin’ that took place the morning before. Come on and get settled!  It’s time for Yarns and […]

  • Episode 53: Yarns and Tales: Put A Ring On It

    It only took three tries to get this 53rd episode cast on, but once it started, it went well.  With an always growing left-overs basket, I looked for a quick and easy project.  I found one in the idea of knitted rings.  I’ve already done knitted chokers, so why not knitted rings too?  As I […]

  • Episode 51: Yarns and Tales: Amigurumis and the Ear Voodoo

    Another fun episode of Yarns and Tales cast on without a hitch, unless you count the being-a-whole-day-behind a “hitch.”  In this 51st podcast, I talk about my project of making an original amigurumi as well as make commentary about “inner ear voodoo”.  I throw in a little project talk about a knitted choker pattern and […]
