Introducing our first Side Car rider: Curator of show sponsor – Mom’s Yarn Stash, my Mother! Audio-Man’s mother! I am very excited to make this episode and share it with you dear listeners. She is Radekb (ravelry link) on Ravelry.
Life on the road update – 02:48
Mom is riding in the sidecar with a back brace. Her back has given her trouble before and she is taking appropriate care to keep the issue from getting worse. She is, however, on the good medicine and some of that may be evident in some of the recording. She is using the time she has off from work to take care of herself and get some knitting done.
Fashionably Riding – 04:27
Mom is fashionably riding while recording the episode in her House Socks made from Red Heart Super Saver. She recently finished her own Chenille Vest (ravelry link) inspired by Audio-Man’s version, in Lion Brand Chenille in Royal Blue. The yarn is sadly discontinued. Lastly, she is wearing her Pave the Way Shawl (ravelry link) with an original crochet edging. The shawl is made in Red Heart Roll With It Tweed in the Potpourri colorway.
