Episode 17 - The Reunion

After weeks if summer travel,  Gayle and I record our reunion episode! We are catching up on each others projects so there is a lot of knitting content packed into this hour, along with some ambient sound effects from our local surfboard shaper. All will be explained in the episode.

We are almost done with our summer KAL so there is an update at the very end. It was great to record together again, and we are already planning the next episode!

Episode 16 - Across the pond

The week we are recording via Skype, Sharlene in California, Gayle in France. This presents its own set of unusual challenges as we try this for the first time. At times the audio may sound a little tinny, probably due to this recording set up. We didn't chat much before we recorded since the time, with the difference, and Gayle's internet access is limited.

After our usual segments, we appended two pre-recorded segments that we had at the ready. One is about the Citron shawlette, and the second is about some Ravelry knitters whose projects we look to for ideas and inspiration. Enjoy!
