The Yarniacs Episode 330: Knitting Provisional Cast Ons

This is the last summer episode to be recorded on campus in our "studio in the forest" as students return to campus later this month. Alas the parking patrol was already back in full force and we were forced to relocate in the middle of recording. (We were in the very back of a little-used area in order to have the quiet company of the redwoods. We weren't bothering anyone. Yet they made us leave... twice!) If you are interested in the trees and want to know what a fairy ring is, you can find more information here. Redwood trees give birth to new generations and speak to each other through their roots. They are amazing! But on to the knitting... What are we wearing?
