Episode 153 - Return of sweater weather

November has brought the beginning of our sweater weather season here in Santa Cruz. Every year, the changing of the clocks to standard time seems to coincide with the fall chill and Gayle and I have been happily looking through our sweater stashes and greeting our sweaters like old friends!

We hope the yarn label and substitutions discussion has been helpful. If you have questions, comments, or just want to pop in and say "hi," please join us in our Ravelry group. We'll be happy to see you there.
