Episode 81: The Smudge Show

Welcome to Episode 81 of the YarnderWoman Podcast.

This episode takes a different format to usual and is more vlog-style, showing things I've been doing over the past couple of weeks. 

So, if you're new to the podcast, this is not how we usually do things. Either way, though, I hope you enjoy! (There is a lot of footage of Smudge the YarnderDog, so you should be more than fine.) ;-)



Join the conversation on the Ravelry thread.

You can view all my projects on my Ravelry page.

Happy crafting!

I saw the Fringe Festival show “My Greatest Period Ever” – I was crowned PMS Queen.
An abridged version of the show can be viewed here:

I finished listening to the long, slow-burning crime fiction book “The Wych Elm” by Tana French. 
The audio version was fantastic, with lots of regional Irish accents narrated so well.

I'm going to be reading Say Hello by Carly Findlay

Episode 78: 2019 Plans

Welcome to episode 78 of the YarnderWoman Podcast. This episode was filmed on 3 February 2019 in Perth, Western Australia.



This episode does not have the usual segments, as I am discussing both my 2018 wrap-up and my 2019 goals.

The sections of the episode are at the following time stamps:
03:04:14 - 2018 wrap-up
06:00:14 - 2019 goals
12:22:08 - Make Nine
17:34:04 - Charity & Gift Make Nine
18:34:14 - Knit-alongs/Make-alongs

=================================

Goals Make-along:

Your project doesn't have to be from a formal "Make Nine" or other list – great if you’ve got such a list, but if not, just cast on something you’d like to make.
Details are on this thread in the Ravelry group:
https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/yarnderwoman-podcast/3880671/1-25


This KAL will fit in well with some other KALs, and we all allow double-dipping:
