We have a running joke about our hats. Since we often knit a lot of hats to be donated, we aren't making them for a specific head size. "They will fit someone," is our common refrain.
Shocking confession… we don't swatch for hats! Therefore of course our hats often don't turn out the size we intended. But you know…they'll fit someone…
We share some tips on how to make that hat fit your wearer's head.

The Yarniacs Episode 313: Knitting Hazards - Moths & Hubris
Continuing our discussion about colorwork that we started with Cowichan sweaters, we talk about color and how folks use color-changing yarns and create stripes for fabulous effects. Patterns mentioned include:
After our episode about viral patterns, listeners commented with so many more patterns! It was a fun discussion so we decided to share some of the patterns that were mentioned in the discussion. It makes for a fun trip down memory lane. Enjoy!
Do you know what "rowing out" is and how to lessen it? It's common for knitters to occasionally battle stitches that appear uneven or rowed out. We talk some tips on how to solve the issue.
We introduce our Self-Indulgent Knit Along! Affectionally called the SIKAL, we encourage you to make something indulgent in some way. #SIKAL starts at the December solstice and runs through the March equinox (if you want to participate for prizes.) Otherwise, knit away at your leisure! Hashtags to use are: #SIKAL #SIKAL2023 #yarniacs #yarniacspodcast
We chat about the #yarniacsSIKAL2024, the Yarniacs Self-Indulgent Knit-along 2024. We'll start on the December solstice so it's time to start the chat and planning.

The Yarniacs Episode 289: Knitting Catch Up
00:53:42
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and well wishes for our 11th Anniversary episode. We truly appreciate it, and love having you along on this wonderful crafting adventure. It's been a month since a regular episode, so our segments are a bit more pattern-packed than usual. Fasten your seatbelts, and let's go!
Thank you for participating in the Self-indulgent knit-along! We chat about projects, patterns, participants, and prizes!

The Yarniacs Episode 300: Knitting 300!
00:47:40
Today's episode is something a little different! We celebrate the magic number 300. We have no idea how many podcasts make it to this measure of longevity, but here we are—still with no exit strategy. This is 300.
The Yarniacs Episode 302: Knitting & Winding Yarn!
01:08:56
We include a segment in the episode about winding yarn that we previously recorded. We were going to discuss this topic, but after listening to the previous episode, we decided it had all the points we wanted to discuss and so was worth listening again. We call it "School of Knit: Best of!" Enjoy!
What are we wearing? Sharlene has failed at wearing her hand-knit socks! Ranunculus by Midori Hirose Gayle's Ranunculus
Our School of Knit segment this episode talks about securing yarn ends. We start with a funny story of the two of us wondering why there are so many ends poking out of Gayle's sweater.
The Yarniacs Episode 341: Knitting Within Your Budget
01:02:52
Thank you for all the lovely comments and well wishes on our 13th anniversary! We want to thank YOU, our listeners, who have donated and sponsored our podcast. You help keep the lights on here at The Yarniacs Podcast. And now, back to our regular content.
Thank you for joining us for another year of podcasting!

The Yarniacs Episode 333: Knitting During Recovery
01:03:01
We recorded this one outside during Gayle's recovery week. There is a bit of ambient wind noise but it is over quickly! 😊 We share a little bit about our experiences attending a small California wool and fiber event and chat about why the best part is getting together with friends and the inspiration we get from seeing everyone's projects and samples.
We look back at episode 123, when we talked about what we termed Knitting Oddities. This led us to discover some knitted fiber art which we would like to share with you this episode.
The Yarniacs Episode 295: Knitting with Robbie - 2023 Edition!
00:43:45
This episode we welcome special guest, BoxySweaterGal Robbie! Robbie is our moderator in the Yarniacs group on Ravelry, knitter of fabulous Boxy sweaters, quilter of unique designs, and our wonderful friend. Robbie is in town to attend the Northern California Knitter's Retreat (NoCKRs). We hope you enjoy our chat!
Both of us have recently ripped out a previously knit sweater and reused the yarn. Why would be repurpose the yarn instead of giving away the sweater? We discuss this and a few other issues when reusing yarns.

The Yarniacs Episode 324: Vacation Knitting
00:41:39
Traveling this season? Sharlene's favorite tip is the reminder to pack your dental floss. That little cutter in the dental floss case works on yarn just as easily as the floss. (You're welcome! 😎)
And a reminder that the annual Colors of Fall Knit-Along starts on or about June 20, the day of the June Solstice in your area!
Specifically, our past! Some vacation tips from baby podcasters Gayle and Sharlene. Fortunately, these travel tips still hold up, and we thought we'd share again. Enjoy!
Vacation, all I ever wanted Vacation, had to get away Vacation, meant to be spent alone
Music and lyrics from Vacation by Charlotte Coffey, Jane Wiedlin, and Kathy Valentine
Do you know what types of garments and patterns you wear the most? Asking yourself a few simple questions can help you choose patterns that you will really wear. This is the basis of the Yarniacs Sweater Challenge, in which we take a critical look at the items we wear, and use that information to help us choose patterns that will fit our lifestyles, our bodies, and are comfortable to live in.

The Yarniacs Episode 276: Knitting Notions!
00:50:15
As Gayle and I see old episodes while we are migrating to a new podcast hosting service we will probably revisit some topics we've discussed in the past. Things change over a decade as we find when we discuss what is in our knitting notions bags/boxes/tins!
We chat about clearing out our unworn and older sweaters, and why we decide to give some away and unravel and reuse yarn from others.

The Yarniacs Episode 328: Knitting at the Olympics
00:53:20
No, we are not knitting at the Olympics. We are enjoying the athletic endeavors from the comfort of our homes. 😊 But hey... I did hear that there's a diver who knits in the stands. Anyone else hear about that?
The Yarniacs Episode 330: Knitting Provisional Cast Ons
00:45:22
This is the last summer episode to be recorded on campus in our "studio in the forest" as students return to campus later this month. Alas the parking patrol was already back in full force and we were forced to relocate in the middle of recording. (We were in the very back of a little-used area in order to have the quiet company of the redwoods. We weren't bothering anyone. Yet they made us leave... twice!)
If you are interested in the trees and want to know what a fairy ring is, you can find more information here. Redwood trees give birth to new generations and speak to each other through their roots. They are amazing! But on to the knitting...
This episode we talk about provisional cast ons, their uses, and our hilarious failures with the crochet provisional cast ons we have tried in the past.
Gayle and I attended a class by Carson Demers and had a great experience. Highly recommended! We have a discussion about some of his great tips and where to find more resources.
We chat a bit about how successful Gayle's vacation knitting projects were while on the trip, and some tips for cabling with charts.
Have you started your Colors of Fall KAL project? If you are posting updates on social media please use hashtags #cofkal or #cofkal2024. We can't wait to see what you are making!
Episode 100 is something a little different. Amongst the knitting chat, we've included some Q & A that you, our lovely listeners, submitted over the past few weeks on our Ravelry board. Thanks so much for that! We took the bait and shared a little bit about the origins of both our friendship and the podcast. While neither are at all mysterious, Gayle and I do normally stay on topic with the knitting, crochet, and crafting talk. So if this is your first time listening, be aware that in general, our regular episodes are on topic with the knitting and crafting. We hope you enjoy this unique episode and we'll have some finished projects to share next time!
The Yarniacs Episode 101: When It's Cold, It's Cold
00:50:07
The beginning of November has finally brought us the beginning of sweater weather, and as we delightfully exclaim this episode "When you're cold, you're cold." No apologies for putting on sweaters as the thermometer dips below 68º this episode! In fact, we are rather gleeful to pull our old friends out of storage and welcome them back into our wardrobe rotation. (In fact, though I didn't mention it on the podcast, this editor is planning on wearing her big oversized Traveling Sweater later on this evening at an event.) And can I just add how wonderful it is to have shawls to drape around myself when I feel a chill? It's our season knitters and crocheters and if I have one piece of advise to give, it is this. Wear those knits! Don't keep them tucked away for "someday," or wait for the perfect outfit, or keep them reserved "for good." You invested time and money, so if you've made something lovely for yourself, wear it with pride.
In episode 101 we return to our regular segments and catch up on what we have been wearing, stalking, knitting, and finishing. These are our comfort segments, and as we enter the busy holiday season, it is good to focus on simple things that bring us pleasure and delight. I hope this episode finds you wrapped in warmth, with hook or needles in hand, and listening to your friendly knitting podcast friends! - Sharlene
The Yarniacs Episode 103: Knitting Under the Holiday Lights
01:17:28
Our regular recording time is sometimes bumped by one of our work schedules, which was the case this week. So it was a surprise to me when Gayle texted me the afternoon of our regular recording day to find out if I could meet later that evening. Though it meant finding an impromptu spot to record in the car, we quickly decided to give it a try. It was dark, so we drove down to the harbor in hopes of finding better lighting. What we found was a holiday treat! The annual lighted boat parade had taken place this past weekend and the boats were still dressed in their holiday best! It was lovely to sit and watch the boats bobbing up and down giving us a little holiday light show.
In this episode we share a new collection from Joji Locatelli, share a new yarn we swatched, share our regular segments and start to think about the new year and our upcoming Self-Indulgent Knit-A-Long 2016. We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and taking time to slow down and carve a little bit of time for knitting, crafting, and spending time with your loved ones.

The Yarniacs Episode 104: Knitting with Rachael
01:03:06
In this episode, we welcome Rachael Herron, author of the Cypress Hollow series, several mainstream fiction books and a non-fiction collection of memoirs. Rachael and I met years ago when we were both involved in the knit-bloggers ring, and recently reconnected at a local guild meeting. On the morning we were recording it was unusually windy and we had even had some rain. You've heard Gayle and I talk about the California drought, so yay, rain! But the wind? Not so much. Our internet conferencing software kept dropping our conference call. We don't really know what caused it to be dropped, but we vented our frustration on the wind. So our apologies for the few places were the chat is choppy and for the general lower than usual audio quality. That was a surprise and we hope you will stick with us and listen to our chat with Rachael. Thank-you Rachael for being patient and working with us that morning! - Sharlene
A new year, like a new project, can be filled with hope, expectation, and always uncertainty. As in life, we never know if that mistake we made back on the foundation row will come back later to bite. Maybe it will be a small insignificant purl in a sea of knit stitches. Or we might find ourselves unraveling hours of work to start anew, with a better base, a stronger beginning.
Our annual Self-Indulgent Knit-a-long, #SIKAL2016 is about beginnings. Taking that special yarn, that special pattern, perhaps something new, perhaps something that has been in stash, and crafting and creating something that brings us happiness. Maybe it is the process, maybe it is the promise of the finished object, but we all craft because on some level, we enjoy the journey.
My challenge to you, is to knit that too-precious yarn, take a chance on that pattern you've been stalking, and especially to wear and use your knitted objects and garments. Don't hide your carefully crafted items away, afraid to let them out in the world. Wear them with pride! Use those crafted objects daily! I believe the joy we find in crafting only increases with the use or giving of the object.
Whatever the new year brings, we hope your stitches flow flawlessly together, creating the beautiful fabric of your life.
Our annual self-indulgent KAL is happening now! Please use hashtags #SIKAL2016 and #yarniacs for all your social media needs.

The Yarniacs Episode 106: Four Years of Knitting!
00:55:20
In addition to welcoming the new year, January brings our podcast anniversary. Four years of Gayle and I chatting about knits, our yarns, project fails and project wins. We've learned a lot about knitting, about podcasting, and about our listeners as we've recorded over the past four years. The heartfelt thanks I expressed last year to our wonderful Yarniacs community still holds true, and I repeat it here today.
"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."
The only thing I can think to add is that I hope Gayle and I have enhanced your knitting lives in some small way and that you will continue to follow along with our knitting adventures. We have so much more to share with you! - Sharlene
What have we finished? Both Gayle and Sharlene sent a project to the frog pond: Swirl Shawl by Lijuan Jing Sharlene's Swirl Times Square by Norah Gaughn Adama by Hilary Smith Callis Fletcher by Elizabeth Doherty
Do you knit when you are sick? Whether or not I can knit when I am feeling under the weather is my usual "heat check" to tell exactly how sick I am. If I don't, can't, or aren't feeling well enough to knit, then I and everyone around me knows I am probably feeling quite poorly. When we recorded episode 106, I knew I wasn't feeling 100%, but it was a few days later that this cold really took me down. I've tried to stick to my usual routine as much as possible, but there has been less knitting, more reading, and more tea drinking than usual. Though I am still coughing, and sound a bit froggy, I am much better than I was last week. It is small progress, and we are moving in the healing direction. I'll take it!
Speaking of moving in the right direction, have you noticed the days are getting longer? We are also moving towards the spring equinox on March 20, 2016. Are you being self-indulgent yet? Have you pulled out that special something and knit a few stitches? If you haven't, stop by our Ravelry group here to find out who else is doing some self-indulgent knitting. Or perhaps pop in here to see all the finished self-indulgent projects. It's a fun thread to scroll through and so far, 44 of you are playing along. Yay us! :) The Self-indulgent KAL #sikal2016 will come to an end at the equinox, so there is still a few weeks to join the fun.
Gayle and I will be at StitchesWest in a few weeks. We'll be having an informal get-together on Saturday afternoon in the bar area of the hotel/convention center, as well as making the rounds in booths including Western Sky Knits and Dragonfly Fibers. If you see us there, don't hesitate to say hi! - Sharlene

The Yarniacs Episode 11
00:57:49
The audio for this episode may sound a little different--though actually it might be argued it sounds better!--because we didn't record in one of our houses as Gayle explains at the beginning of the podcast. We recorded in her car while parked in my neighborhood. Not ideal, but a good test for us as it is always good to have options!
In the podcast we mentioned the Camellia shawl by Meg Myers. We also mentioned the Stitch Red campaign. After recording, we realized the Camellia shawl is a free pattern from Classic Elite to promote their yarns for the Stitch Red campaign. If you purchase one of their designated Stitch Red yarns, 5% of the proceeds are donated to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in support of The Heart Truth.

Gayle and I share some of our favorite things to do when we are on Ravelry, such as searching within our own libraries and searching for specific projects made in specific yarns. We both like to search for ways to use our own pattern libraries, and yarn stashes--finding ways to use our own little hidden pattern and yarn gems is one of our favorite ways to use Ravelry. There are some search filters that are fun to use too. We hope you learn something! We will try to schedule this discussion several times a year as it always proves to be quite popular!

The Yarniacs Episode 113: Knitting at NoCKRs!
00:57:18
We're back! Well, we never really left, but we attended our NoCKRs retreat, I was away at YarnFest, and then came home sick, and for some reason we both felt like it had been a long time since we recorded. We've got a lot to fit into this episode--some fun garments we spotted at the retreat, we both finished a couple of items, and a fun new book from Dragonfly Fibers. Enjoy! -Sharlene
It's that time of year again. What time of year is that you ask? It is when the folks at Pantone release their fall colors list. These are the colors that influence fashion, what will be appearing in the stores this summer for fall wear, and what colors we'll see on the new yarns coming to the local yarn stores. Most knitters love color! And yes, I am including knitters such as myself who happen to love the greys! (Check out that Sharkskin color chip on the palette and how well is goes with every other color. What's not to love about a beautiful grey?) So take a look at the palette, check if you have any of those colors represented in your stash and play along! We'd love to have you join in. #yarniacscolors2016
We also have a short discussion about the importance of bringing new knitters and crafters into our community. As the number of small vendors increase (we see new bag makers and dyers all the time), one of the things you can do to support small business is to bring in new consumers. Teach, enable, and bring someone new into the community. #knit1teach1

The Yarniacs Episode 119: Knitting with the Turkeys
01:04:46
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!
What are we knitting? Sharlene is knitting a yet-to-be-published Joji pattern Starshower by Hilary Smith Callis Pavement by Veera Valimaki Minimum by Veera Valimaki Spindrift by Helen Stewart
Wow, links galore. We packed a lot into this hour. We are back to recording in the house but a few ambient noises make it onto the recording. The neighbor's gasoline gardeners; (I call them the gasoline gardeners because the main thing they do seems to be running gasoline-powered blowers. They are very effective in blowing things around and creating lots of smelly gasoline exhaust. I can't speak to any actual gardening being accomplished however) bird sounds from the open windows; (it was a warm day!) and if you hear a metallic tinkling, it is my cat wandering through the room and the bell on his collar tinkling.
As always, questions or comments may be left here or visit our group on Ravelry. Enjoy!
The Yarniacs Episode 121: Knitting All the Donners!
00:56:49
This week we are out and about again. I think this will be a new summer tradition--recording in fun locations. This week we visit the harbor, with some sea lions and you might hear some gulls in the background. We took photos of both of our Donner sweaters, which I just finished, and Gayle was binding off while we recorded. You will hear all about these sweaters on the podcast.
Are you knitting something for our fall KAL? There is about a month to go. Time to finish what is on the needles or cast on something small. Remember, the styling is the fun part of this KAL. Please photograph your garment with a fall look. You can wear the outfit or just lay it out for the photograph. Just make sure your entry photo shows us the whole look. It is so inspirational to look through everyone's outfits and think about the coming season. - Sharlene
The Yarniacs Episode 122: Knitting to the Last Light of Summer!
01:10:01
In episode 122 we recorded our last summer episode for the season out and about. The light is changing and it will be darker earlier, making evenings of recording in the car difficult. This time we were on the UC campus at the top of the hill. We didn't see a lot of the usual wildlife, but we did stop for a peek at this spectacular view as we were leaving. This is the view looking towards Monterey and it is probable that a lot of the bright red is caused by smoke due to the still burning Soberanes fire.
For your listening pleasure, we share some designs we fondly call Knitting Oddities. Patterns and projects meant to bring a little smile, a little laugh, or just make you wonder "Hmm." :) :) :) We both needed a little something to brighten our day when we met to record this episode, and oddly, we had already planned this segment. And it worked! We both felt a little better chatting about these laughter-inspiring projects and patterns. Whether or not you need a laugh to brighten your day we hope you will enjoy scrolling through these knitting oddities. - Sharlene

The Yarniacs Episode 124: Knitting the Colors of Fall!
Happy Fall everyone! Have you had a chance to wear something cozy and/or woolly yet? I am excited that I can throw a shawl around my neck or shoulders almost every day now. It may be a few weeks before true sweater weather hits but in the meantime, I am enjoying those shawls!
This week we are back to our regular format and segments. We hope you will enjoy!
