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.

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!)

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!

Last month, a group of Yarniacs listeners got together in Cincinnati. Though Gayle and Sharlene were not able to attend, a wonderful time was had by all and we are hoping to do it again next year. There is a survey available for a future Yarniacs retreat/event here. If you are interested in such a future event, take a look. Thank you for helping us out.
