Yarns and Tales

Howdy and welcome to episode 77 of Yarns and Tales!  I cast on with a bit about Friday the thirteenth then follow up with an explanation of part number three of our mystery project.  I wind the show down with a couple of tales from The Kitty Tribe.  Join in and get settled for a bit of YaT'n.

Well, howdy y'all! Welcome to the latest edition of YaT! With energy levels high, I chatter and ramble on about my day of teaching Knitting 101, selling a pair of fingerless gloves, passing along the instructions for mystery part 6, and how an act of being normal for me brought a woman to tears.  Get yourself settled and let's get started.  It's time for Yarns and Tales!

Howdy y'all.  Welcome to Yarns and Tales.  It's episode 75, and I'll cut to the chase.  Our mystery part is number 8 this week, plus a fuzzy clearing up about mystery part number 4 from last week.  After explaining the 8th piece in both knit and crochet, I chat a bit about our lunch today and eating habits.  Oh, and I also share the sound of my rain running off my roof here at my windows.  It's catnip, I tell ya, just divine catnip!

What do Cubics, the number four, and too much knitting have in common?  Well, today, it would be me, revLea, and what I talked about in this week's podcast of Yarns and Tales.  I introduce mystery part #4, talk about squared knitting needles, and share a bit of humor about excessive knitting (not that I believe that's possible!)

Howdy y'all, and welcome to YaT episode 73.  As you see by the title, we're working the mystery project part #2.  Then I'll follow those pieces up with the epic tale of Gracie the Badass, Defender of the Kitchen Door and All Realms Within.  Make yourself comfortable or at least get settled into whatever you're doing,  It's time for Yarns and Tales!

Howdy y'all!  Welcome to the 72nd show! In this fun episode, we begin the mystery project which consists of 14 parts, nothing complicated though.  We work piece #1 in both knit and crochet so either hobbyist can play along if they wish.  Then I tell a little tale of the sunroom opossum and his mistaken dinner-to-go.  Make yourself comfortable.  It's Yarns and Tales!

In this 71st episode of Yarns and Tales, I ramble on about "stick methods" and my utter disbelief in what my Redneck locals are defining them as.  I also share the details of my current on-air project.  Then there's my very wonky weather report from this week which involved a "people storm".  Get settled in, y'all, and welcome to Yarns and Tales!

Howdy y'all! Welcome to episode 70 of Yarns and Tales.  I jump right into the preemie hat variation that I mentioned in last week's show.  After getting everyone caught up on the project, I go on to the 'tale' portion of the show -- the creation of my cheese gravy for supper.  Curious about the burnt water?  You should have a listen for that one.  Like I said, "Welcome to Yarns and Tales!"

Well, howdy y'all! Welcome to episode 69 of Yarns and Tales!  Today, I'll work on the first variation of the Teeny Tiny Tube Sock pattern from episode 67 and the posted pattern about it.  I'll keep it simple and easy today with a Stockinette rendition. Remember, we want this to remain an everybody-can-do-this project as it was designed to cover preemie feet with a side benefit of also covering dolly feet.  Along the way, I'll share with y'all my first days of working the cutting counter at my new JoAnn Fabrics store.

Howdy y'all! Welcome to episode 68 of Yarns and Tales.  It's all about those tiny heads this week as our project is an old preemie hat pattern I created from more than a decade ago (with a tweak here and there).  This very basic hat works as a preemie hat, doll hat, or a teaching pattern for novices.  As with the preemie socks, we'll be revisiting this hat to modify it into a prettier version of itself.  Break out the yarns and needles!  It's time for Yarns and Tales!!

Well, howdy y'all!! Welcome to Yarns and Tales Episode 67.  This time around we cover a delicate matter -- itty bitty feet.  Yes, those toes which belong to premature babies.  Tiny feet require tiny socks, but tiny socks can be quick and easy for all skill levels except for the unlearned (and pronounce that with a proper southern twang "un-lurn-ned").  I also make a cool announcement as I work the tube sock project this week.  Just a bit curious?  Great!  Join me for another fun episode of Yarns and Tales!

Well, howdy y'all! It's episode 66 of YaT, and I finish up the Spring bonnet project we started a couple of shows back then share with y'all my recent "Christmas from Hell" tale (but it's not what ya think!).  This is a fun show, so find ya a spot, get situated, and let's get started!  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!!

It's episode 65 of Yarns and Tales, and I ran it a little backwards today by telling my tales before the bonnet.  Of course, this worked up an appetite because after the bonnet came the lasagna!  But the biggest curiosity was this question: How do you reignite your creativity after burnout?  Get settled.  It's time for another visit from revLea. Howdy y'all!!

Howdy y'all! Welcome to episode 64 of Yarns and Tales.  Today, we are hookers, as in crochet.  I know what you were thinking (wink, wink).  Anyway, in this show, I chat about the project for this week and next week.  It's a two-color Spring baby bonnet, and it's another revLea 'original'.  Yes, I'm making it up as I go along.  It's great fun.  I also chat about my crazy southern weather, identity thieving, and offer an answer to a donation question, that answer being spelled R-O-G-U-E-H-E-A-L-E-R at gmail dot com.

Well, howdy, y'all.  Welcome to episode 63 of YaT.  Today, I explain what Spring really is in the South, chat about not one but two projects, and close out the podcast with food thoughts and Silent Mouth Syndrome.  Curious?  Get yourself settled and have a listen!
