Creativity in the midst of a Pandemic
Yarnspinners Tales's Podcast
Back in January 2021, I was doing the New Year thing, thinking about podcasting again, and putting a discussion about the New Year in that podcast. Somehow, the podcast never happened, and this bit of writing I did, was never published. Is it still relevant? I think so, but in a softer way, in that we are really not totally motionless anymore by the Pandemic. I started the musing with the question 'why during 2020 and especially forced to stay at home, did I not burst into a shower of creative work?'

YST A Brief Hello
Yarnspinners Tales's Podcast
Podcasting for me is on the back burner at this time. I plan to return with the Tour de Fleece in July 2021.
info_outlineThe podcasts will have a new format starting with this one. The good news is they will be more frequent, and the maybe or maybe not bad news is they will be shorter.
For years I have been using this podcast to teach many things about the spinning of yarn. Those are available on the website by checking under archives. There is even listings of the episode topics to find specific podcasts. With the future podcasts, I will be sharing my experiences and stories of working with fiber everyday. These will be dated with the episode number but not about specific topics.
I am still streaming three days a week on Twitch.tv
on Wednesday, Friday and Sundays. I just completed streaming all 21 days of the Tour de Fleece and these can be found on my Twitch page under Yarnspinnerstales. There is a lot of spinning there, and it is a good way to catch up on what I have been doing lately.
Thank you for all the years you have joined me on this Journey!
And as always, happy spinning.
