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.  What are we wearing?

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...
