  • Episode 39: Yarns and Tales: Sweaters, Hats, and Candy

    Today we cast on the 39th episode of Yarns and Tales in a single unblemished take.  I amazed myself with this feat of tech prowess.  With a touch of Autumn in the air, I quickly covered topics about cup sweaters, wine bottle hats, the un-zebra gloves, the funky green scarf, building my new camera rig, […]

  • Episode 38: Yarns and Tales: Dating WIPs and Swatching

    In this second version of episode 38, I talk about dating your WIPs, swatching, Friday the 13th (the calendar date not the movies), and updating y’all on the “zebra” saga.  I mention Knitter’s Brewing and Etsy concerning finding ‘real’ zebra yarn.  I talk about finishing one WIP only to find another one.  It’s good times […]

  • Episode 37: Yarns and Tales: Plaid Zebras and Irish Cream

    With episode 37, I have a bit of a hissy-fit about “zebras” being not so stripe-like but, instead, sporting a plaid design.  The last time I checked “zebra” meant black and white stripes, or did someone change the definition while I wasn’t looking?  Then to mellow out the tirade, I chat a bit about O’Reilly’s […]

  • Episode 35: Yarns and Tales: No More Excuses

    The 35th episode of YaT is a bit sombre with a touch of kick-in-the-tail, stop-wasting-time attitude.  Pick up those WIPs, get out the good dishes, and no more putting things off.  Have no idea what I’m talking about?  Then you need to listen in to this episode of Yarns and Tales.

    Episode 33 of Yarns and Tales just seem to cast itself as I rambled on about a super easy crocheted fingerless glove pattern I found on the internet and my activities this week which included painting a treadle base and answering my jury pool summons. It’s been busy, and it isn’t over yet. Welcome to […]

  • Episode 32: Yarns and Tales: Planes, Chains, and WIPs

    This 32nd episode of YaT found difficulty in taking off on Thursday due to caster error.  It was grounded until Friday morning.  The rescheduled casting had technical troubles in its 2nd attempt but was successful in its 3rd attempt.  It seemed to be an uneventful casting until a surprise guest kept interrupting the episode, coming […]
