This 80th episode of The Yarniacs launches us into our 4th year of this podcasting adventure. What an adventure it has been! We have learned about wool, about yarn, about designing, about technique, and of course, about community. The community we have formed on Ravelry with our fellow yarniacs has been the most fulfilling and wonderful part of podcasting. We can't thank you all enough for listening, for participating in our knit-a-longs, for chatting, and for playing along with us in social media. Truly, you have enhanced our knitting lives. This episode we celebrate our podcast anniversary with a mash-up of some different party themes. Join us as we share some of our favorites from the last year and look forward to another yarn-filled year of podcasting. Enjoy! Party Hats! I Was a Tennaged Mutant by Alex Tinsley Gayle's Mutant hat Field of Wildflowers by Joji Locatelli Sharlene's Wildflowers hat Skiff by Jared Flood Gayle's Skiff hat Sharlene's stripey hats MVK - Most Valuable Knits of 2014 Svalbard by Bristol Ivy Sharlene's Svalbard Magnolia by Joji Locatelli Gayle's Magnolia Sharlene's Magnolia Ease by Alicia Plummer Gayle's Ease Sharlene's Ease Gayle is currently swatching Beaverslide 100% Merino Our supporting cast Gayle is enjoying knitting with the KnitPicks Harmony wood interchangeables. Daylight lamps are Sharlene's most valuable tool. Lamps such as Ott & Verilux are great. What is a Morris style chair? This is the style of Sharlene's usual knitting chair. The Clover stitch holders are one of Gayle's favorite tools. Favorite yarns we worked with in 2014 Sharlene enjoyed working with fingering yarns, specifically single-ply fingering from Western Sky Knits and Dragonfly Fibers. Sharlene used the single-ply fingering for her Headland and her Hitofude Cardigan. Gayle also used a lot of Western Sky Knits yarns including the silk/merino blend that she used for her Puck Shawl and her Obsidian Pullover. She also enjoyed new to her yarns Gilliat and Holst Garn Coast, which she sued for her Hitofude. Favorite designers Joji Locatelli Elizabeth Doherty Yelena M. Dasher

I mention Halloween because I happen to own the quintessential Halloween advertising animal, a black cat. When we adopted Boo, we were told by the shelter staff that black cats and dogs are the least adopted color at most animal shelters. Boo was the last adopted kitten from his litter, also the only all-black kitten in the litter. Folks want cats with some color or markings we were told. Previous to our Boo adoption, I had no clue about this color bias, but some internet sleuthing revealed that it is indeed a fact. So, if you are ever in the position to adopt a shelter animal, that is one tiny fact to keep in mind. Consider it a friendly PSA (public service announcement) for black cats and dogs. :)
If you have some ideas for quick holidays gifts, please click on through to our Ravelry group and share them there. Happy knitting! What are we wearing?

Sharlene's Scrappy Shawl #2 Literally Over the Top by Megan Williams Sharlene's Over the Top ZigZag Fingerless Gloves by Whole Earth Education I Was a Teenage Mutant by Alex Tinsley Easy Fingerless Mitts by Roxanne Richardson Annoucements Santa Cruz Knitting Guild presentation Tuesday Oct. 14, 6:30pm Thursday Oct. 16, 10am Lambtown Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 We are participating in the Northern California Knitting Retreat! We will have a Ravelry group soon with all the details. Knitting, for both Gayle and I, is far more than simply working with beautiful yarns and fibers. We both love the relationships we have built with old and new friends. This podcast has been so amazing in that respect, bringing us together with kindred spirits that we may not have otherwise met--folks from all over the country, and all over the world. I know that our small retreat will mean a disappointment to some who can't attend--I feel it myself when one of my online friends hosts an event or goes to an event that I can't attend. As we started the first few discussions when we realized we could make this retreat fantasy a reality, we just didn't know what to expect--will it be a handful of us knitting together, or a whole room full of like-minded crafters sharing ideas and yarn? I wish I could host these events all over the country and come and meet each one of you in person and thank-you for listening and participating in the Yarniacs community. Whether you can attend or no, if you have read this far into my sappy meanderings please know that you are a valued part of the Yarniacs community. Thanks so much for listening!

Similar to wool, Gayle and I have a lot to learn about garment design and how designers do the magic they do. Like our wool series, we'd like to start an occasional series with designers, the work they do, and how they do it. Our guest today is Wendy Bernard, author and designer of the popular Custom Knits series and the Knit and Tonic blog. Wendy also has a fabulous stitch dictionary Up, Down, All-Around Stitch Dictionary. This is a stitch dictionary with a twist--each stitch pattern includes instructions and charts to knit from the top or the bottom. If you have ever switched up a pattern to knit it top-down as I have, you know what a cool resource this is for a knitter! If you've ever wanted to add a little bit of bling to an edging, or change a ribbing to something other than k2 p2, then this resource should find a way onto your bookshelf. One of my favorite features of this book is the index that organizes stitch patterns by multiples, making it easy to swap out the stitch pattern on a hat or garment edge. Gayle and I have knit several of Wendy Bernard's designs including: Lion Neck Cardigan Sharlene's Lion Neck Cardigan Gayle's Lion Neck 1 Gayle's Lion Neck 2 Favorite Cardigan Sharlene's Favorite Gayle's Favorite Yogini Bolero Sharlene's Bolero Gayle's Bolero 1 Gayle's Bolero 2 Socks on a Plane by Laura Linneman OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams Flamingo Mittens by Spilly Jane What are we knitting?

Our surroundings, websites, color and fiber swatches and other knitters all provide fuel for the inspiration fire. We are both looking forward to the discussion about everyones' inspirations and hope you will join us over at our Ravelry group. Some links to our inspirations that can be found online can be found below.

We recorded episode 56 at the beach. Sometimes evening recording calls for inventive recording locations but we always enjoy the views. This time we were lucky again to spy some dolphins swimming in the bay. No matter how many times I see dolphins frolicking, they still bring a smile to my face. Gayle and I are attending a local fiber industry event called Stitches West this week. We will be there several days and it is the one big fiber event that we attend every year without fail. If you are in the west and attending, please don't hesitate to look for us and say "hi." If you attend other fiber events, you can understand our excitement! Thanks to everyone who answered our request for iTunes written and star reviews. We appreciate it! If you live outside the US please know you can still review the podcast, though your review shows up in the iTunes store of the country where you reside. We may not see them all (mainly because we won't know it is there!) but we are grateful for the support and kind words. So sit back, pick up your knitting, and enjoy the podcast! - Sharlene What are we wearing?

In our second episode of January, we remember and recognize that it is our second anniversary of producing this podcast. As we enter year 3 of podcasting, we have one small request. Would you give us an iTunes rating? You can do this in two ways, either by clicking to give us a "star" rating, or by writing a review. We hate to ask, really we do, but it would be nice to see our podcast appear in some of the lists and recommendations. If you feel so inclined, we would appreciate it. Gayle and I end the podcast this week with a fun discussion about buttons and how to use buttons to enhance our garments as knitters and crocheters. It is fun and hopefully will inspire you to search for the perfect button for your fiber creations. What are we wearing?

We have a brief chat about buttons, our button choices, and how we personally choose buttons. We mention a few things to be aware of when button shopping. We hope you have something to add to the button discussion. Join us over on Ravelry! The buttons pictured here are from my mom's button jar and particular favorites with which I loved to play as a child. I have memories of sorting by color, counting, and making up games with buttons. I had favorite buttons that I would search for again and again. The button jar was a favorite amusement of mine. - Sharlene

In this episode we welcome Brooke Sinnes, Fiber Artist & Proprietor of Sincere Sheep. Sincere Sheep specializes in "naturally beautiful yarns & fibers" including breed specific yarns and yarns that are farm specific. You can read about Brooke and Sincere Sheep here, and find her shop here. Brooke has an incredible amount of knowledge to share with us in the episode. I hope it is helpful and interesting. I've listened a couple of times and I still don't think I caught everything. This was recorded a couple of weeks ago, so if our projects seem a little out of order, that is why.

In this episode we welcome Brooke Sinnes, Fiber Artist & Proprietor of Sincere Sheep. Sincere Sheep specializes in "naturally beautiful yarns & fibers" including breed specific yarns and yarns that are farm specific. You can read about Brooke and Sincere Sheep here, and find her shop here. Brooke has an incredible amount of knowledge to share with us in the episode. I hope it is helpful and interesting. I've listened a couple of times and I still don't think I caught everything. This was recorded a couple of weeks ago, so if our projects seem a little out of order, that is why.

Oh, the holidays, they are a-coming! Here in the US, this week is busy. We are getting ready for our Thanksgiving holiday, there are school holidays to work around, and the general business of planning, family, and work. Gayle and I have been busy with all of the above and more. As I write this on Thanksgiving afternoon, Gayle and I have already chatted about how we are grateful and thankful for all of you, our wonderful friends, who have supported us and listened to us, and inspire us to keep knitting and keep recording. We really do appreciate you. :) This week we record our regular segments, with the addition of our newest segment "What are we swatching?" We pay homage to past podcast guests Clara Parkes and Deb Robson, and in our own way attempt to learn more about new breeds and new-to-us yarns and share what we have learned. For some of you, this may be review, and if you have more to add to the discussion, please join us over in our Ravelry group. We welcome your views and discussion. - Sharlene What are we wearing? 5200K by Suvi Simola Sharlene's 5200K Alewives Cowl by Elizabeth Doherty Gayle's Alewives Cowl What are we stalking?

We are a few days early with Episode 46. Gayle will be traveling for the next week and a half and the easiest thing to do was record and get the episode out there. Because we had recorded the interview with Deb Robson early, we both felt a need to chat about our current knits before another episode flew by. So we play a bit of the catch-up game, sharing what we have been knitting and stalking, and hope to be knitting and stalking. We must have been out of form, because post recording we both realized we left a couple items out. More knits for a future episode then. :) Gayle will be traveling and our next episode will feature Clara Parkes and more about wool. We are having lots of discussion in our Ravelry group.

We hope you will enjoy listening to this chat with Deb Robson as much as we enjoyed recording it. Gayle and I have been doing a lot of research, and we were still nervous to talk to Deb. This woman is a font of information! She has so much specialized knowledge and is so eager to share it and we have so much to learn. :) I've included a couple of links below to specific topics, projects or books that we discussed. But there is so much more! If you visit Deb's blog, poke around in the topics listed on the lower right side and read some of her older posts as well. The posts are tagged well so you can find specific information quickly. Deb's Dreaming of Shetland project is her current baby. The Ravelry link is here. You can see the patterns included in the book. If you are a knitter, crocheter, weaver, spinner, or crafter who uses and loves wool, consider learning more about the origins of the materials you use and love. I know, sometimes it is all I can handle to figure out my yarn substitution! But as crafters, this is part of our world too. We have the chance to learn, to teach, and widen our horizons a little bit. And yes, the sheep are cute. So I hope you will follow Gayle and I along on our Wool Series! - Sharlene Deb Robson's Craftsy class The Field Guide to Fleece The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook Deb's blog: The Independent Stitch Sweet Oak Hooded Cardigan by Megan Goodacre Jamieson and Smith Shetland Wool Jamieson's yarns Deb's Dreaming of Shetland project Ply Magazine - Deb's article that she references appears in the Summer 2013 issue Rare wools Sheep: Suffolk Sheep: Corriedale The Livestock Conservancy Rare Breeds Survival Trust sheep watchlist Deb recommends Pennyroyal and mint as moth repellents :)

Last episode crows, this episode dolphins. Welcome to Santa Cruz. We recorded this episode at the coast with the sound of the waves in the background. We hope this is as pleasant for you as it was for us. It had been a warm day and sitting at the beach recording was a wonderful way for our day to close. You will hear us sighting some of the following locals. :) Western gull Pacific white-sided dolphin California sea lion Pacific sardine No, we didn't actually see sardines from our vantage point, but found out later the presence of the sardines off the coast had attracted a lot of activity in the bay.

The original title of this episode was going to be "Road Trip" for reasons which will become apparent once you listen. But even the best of plans have a way of falling apart sometimes, don't they? Thwarted by the heat of the 100 degree day, our plans to record while visiting yarn stores went out the window, and the secondary plan to finish recording once we returned to the bay and its cooling breezes flew out the other window after Gayle got the "come rescue us!" phone call from her stranded husband. So. Best laid plans. We call it a wrap almost 48 hours later and give you a little recap. Hope it doesn't come across too disjointed! Gayle and I are excited to share two special things with you. First, we are going to be beta testers for Amy Herzog's new CustomFit software. (See links below.) Second, we have decided on a KAL based on the Pantone colors for Fall 2013. Details on the podcast and to follow in our Ravelry group. - Sharlene What are we wearing?
