Gail· Host0:00

[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to the Yarniacs Podcast. This is episode number 370, which we are recording on Wednesday, March 18th, 2026. I'm Gail.

Charlene· Co-host0:19

And I'm Charlene.

Gail· Host0:20

What are you wearing?

Charlene· Co-host0:22

Well, because of the heat wave we are experiencing- Yes, heat wave in March [laughs] I have been looking at all of my short-sleeve tops that I have made, and I have been wearing my Derecho. I wore this one on Monday. Derecho is a pattern by Alison Green. Th- the version I wore is the second version that I have made, and this one is made in a silk wool blend from Holst Garn called Tides, and it wears surprisingly well in hot weather. I made this one in the summer of 2019, and it's still in rotation, so that's a good sign.

Gail· Host1:07

[laughs] Nice. Yeah.

Charlene· Co-host1:08

Probably still in rotation partially because I don't think I wore it at all in 2020, and maybe not at all in 2021 because not going anywhere.

Gail· Host1:19

Charlene· Co-host1:22

Gail· Host1:23

It just- I know ... does, it almost feels like a waste at home- But that, that's the way it worked out ... with some of our sweaters.

Charlene· Co-host1:27

Yeah, that's the way it worked out.

Gail· Host1:29

Yeah.

Charlene· Co-host1:29
