[upbeat music] Hello and welcome to the Yarniacs Podcast. This is episode number 371, which we are recording on Tuesday, March 31st, 2026. I'm Gail.
Charlene· Co-host0:20
And I'm Charlene.

It's raining- [laughs] ... in Santa Cruz. Oh, my gosh, I'm so, so happy. We haven't seen rain much this winter.
Charlene· Co-host0:29
This winter at all.
Gail· Host0:29
But now it's spring, but- Now it's spring, and it, it's more of a spring storm. Yeah.
Charlene· Co-host0:34
It's definitely not a winter storm. It's very light, but it's enough to make my garden very happy.
Gail· Host0:40
Yes. I say raining as if there's a lot of water falling from the sky, and really there's not. But it's still wet outside- Yeah [laughs] ... which is just delightful. So enough of our weather update. [laughs] What are you wearing, Charlene?

Well, this week I wore my Cedar Pullover, which is a pattern by Joji Locatelli. I knit this back in the fall of 2019, and you asked me about it when I was wearing it because I couldn't remember the name. And then I was also telling you that, well, I changed it up a lot. So my version doesn't look quite like Joji's, because the original design has lace around the hem, which I omitted and changed just to a simple ribbing.
