Yarns and Tales

Well, howdy y'all! It's episode 62!  Red tape instead of red yarn is enough to make a yarnie scream and beg for yarn therapy! Oh, wait, I just didn't scream. Join me as I finish up a WIP and justify future hours of yarn therapy as well as share with y'all some fabulous news.  Get comfy, it's time for Yarns and Tales! The Thumb Hole Tutorial

This week's episode is a bit more energetic than last week's, and by "a bit more" I mean a lot.  Episode 61 carries us from the almost-forgotten amigurumi mouse-like critter to a glove pattern to naming patterns to agelessness and to snobs of the fiber kind and the experience kind.  Get settled in, folks, and welcome to Yarns and Tales!

After multiple attempts to cast on this 60th episode, the tangled thoughts finally began to come about less frayed.  In the end, I chatted about hiding project tails and how you decide what project or projects to start next as the weather promises to be less hostile outdoors.  Come on up and get settled.  It's time for Yarns and Tales!

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 and southern men.  Come on and have a listen, y'all, it's time for Yarns and Tales!!

Howdy y'all! It's episode 58, and it cast on without the first techno-gremlin in sight or ear-shot.  I catch y'all up on the latest south Georgia wacky weather, the magical evolving wine sleeve, my favorite word, and drinking rice wine, also known as Sake.  With all of this ahead, find your comfy spot and let's get started.  It's Yarns and Tales!!

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 Tales!

Episode 56 cast on easy peasy as I continue working on the patternless, crocheted cat sweater for Gracie and chat about the intense weather which leads into a bit of rant concerning bald or nearly bald babies and toddlers.  All in all, this podcast buzzes right along.  Come on and have a listen. Welcome to Yarns and Tales!!

Howdy y'all! Welcome to episode 55 of Yarns and Tales where we'll explore the gravitational pull of yarn on my cat, chat a bit about a couple of TV shows (Intelligence, Sherlock, and Revenge), and facepalm our way through the checkout line from my shopping. Let's get started!!

From elusive crochet projects to loaded cornbread and reflections in a mason jar, this 54th episode of YaT cast on somewhat without gremlins.  Howdy y'all! Welcome to the first Yarns and Tales of 2014!

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 finish up the ring, I talk a little about Red 2 (a movie) and the 2013 Doctor Who Christmas special.  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!!

It's my 52nd casting of Yarns and Tales, and I could do nothing more than a simple update.  Thank you, Flu!!  I make mention of my new needles, some FOs, a new WIP, and figured out why the flu is so exhausting. So, howdy y'all! Welcome to Yarns and Tales.

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 jingle bell closures. Howdy y'all! Welcome to Yarns and Tales!

After taking a few tries to get this podcast in motion, the 4th one was a success.  Just like many yarn projects, the first attempts just don't pan out.  In this 50th episode of YaT, I ramble on about crazy weather, miserable shopping, WIP completions, and surprising FOs.  I also pose two questions to y'all.  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!

This 49th episode of Yarns and Tales cast on without a hitch and a day ahead of normal.  Today, I chatted about adding beads to our knitting then moved on to tastier endeavors, like making home-made cornbread dressing, cheater's gravy, and my sweet brine marinade for meat (boneless chicken breast in this case).  Make yourself comfortable, y'all.  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!!

Episode 48 of Yarns and Tales casts on with chatter about roller derby comparisons and leads into the impromptu project involving a button.  From there, I share a great story about cats and treadmills.  It doesn't sound like much but don't be fooled.  Oh, did I mention the recycling ideas?  Hmm, sounds like you may need to settle in and have a listen!  Welcome to Yarns and Tales!
