We had a bit of a technical issue - Polly's microphone decided to act up, then stop working altogether. We got it worked out, but you can hear when her mic is starting to go.

First 90 secondsStaci Perry· Host0:00
[jazzy music] Welcome to the Very Pink Knits podcast, the companion podcast to the Very Pink Knits YouTube channel. I'm Stacy, and I'm here with Polly.
Polly Baker· Host0:09
Hi, friends.
Staci Perry· Host0:10
If you would like to get your knitting question on the show, you can email it to podcast@verypink.com, and please tell us where you're from. And if you're enjoying the ad-free show, no ads, no skip- Yes ... in pass, you can [laughs] uh, support the show by going to podca- uh, patreon.com/verypinkknits. There'll be a link in the show notes. And the... Not only do you get the ad-free show, you get early access to episodes, you get a big, long bonus episode every month.
Polly Baker· Host0:37
Oh, yeah.
Staci Perry· Host0:37
And you have the community there on Patreon, which is very nice, and all your knitting friends are there. It's not 100% about knitting. It veers off into other things. Books- That's true ... pets. What else?
Polly Baker· Host0:52
All the good stuff. You can, you can ask questions on the bonus episode, and they will answer those questions for you in the f- in the feed.
Staci Perry· Host1:01
[laughs] It's good to get, um, people enjoy getting feedback, like, "What, what yarn would you use for this, this?" Or even- Yes ... on the last bonus episode, you asked a question- Exactly ... about- And everyone weighed in ... a certain yarn. Yeah.
Polly Baker· Host1:12
Yep.
Staci Perry· Host1:12
So you got a lot of good opinions on that. Anyway- Really helpful ... there'll be a link for that in the show notes. And our yarn patron, as always, is Turtle Pearl. Turtle Pearl makes identical twin self-striping sock yarns. Uh, if you want a pair of socks that look exactly like each other and not just sort of like each other- [laughs]
