I started publishing Technique Tuesday videos in early 2017. A year later, I added the Casual Friday podcast and uploaded one of each video every week for about three years. I then maintained my CF schedule, but reduced the frequency of TT. In the fall of 2023, I began a schedule of one video each week, alternating between TT and CF.

Because it's important to me to always maintain my interest (and the joy) of doing these videos, I need to listen to my brain and make a change when my video routine becomes a grind.

After nine years of producing more than 350 Technique Tuesday videos, I'm feeling that grind. Rather than continuing to publish a one-off technique video every other week (or quitting YouTube!), I have something different in mind that I hope will be of interest to my viewers, but I know is of great interest to me.

I will share more about what those videos will be and when they will start to appear on my channel in the coming weeks. In the meantime, Casual Friday will continue to be uploaded every other week.

Thanks for your understanding,
Roxanne

No Technique Tuesday today! I am planning for a bonus year-end Casual Friday episode, instead.

I am finally finished with my travels for this fall. This week's Technique Tuesday video will be uploaded tomorrow. I need a day to recover!

I am back from a week-long road trip, but I am pooped! I drove 600 miles (1000 km) solo yesterday, I have tons to talk about regarding my trip (fiber stuff at every stop), but my ability to think through what I want to say, and to be peppy about it on camera is not where I'd like it to be.

This week's scheduled Casual Friday will be uploaded next Friday. So next week, expect the regularly scheduled Technique Tuesday, plus this week's Casual Friday.

This schedule disruption might be a continuing theme for September and October. I have quite a bit of traveling in the next 8 weeks, and I'm working on getting things recorded ahead of time, but we'll see how things go! I might have to skip a video here and there.

I am lucky to live in an area with a vibrant textile community. In addition to dozens of places where new supplies and books can be purchased, there are several places where used craft supplies can be donated and/or purchased. This is not always the case. If you have ever had to clear out a stash of yarn and/or craft books, what sorts of places did you find that were happy to take them? (Answers might be different for the yarn than the books.)

This week's Casual Friday will be delayed until next Friday (so there will be a Tech Tues and Cas Fri in the same week).

I'm planning an Ask Me Anything episode soon. What knitting questions would you like me to answer?

Argh! After knitting up swatches and writing an outline of today's technique video, I had a sudden feeling of deja vu. Turns out I had already done a video on this topic! (With 300+ technique videos, and another 300+ Casual Friday videos, I don't always remember every video I've done.) So no TechTues video this week. Sorry about that. I'll see you next week for Casual Friday, and a new Technique Tuesday video two weeks from today.

UPDATE: The video has been posted! Thanks for your patience. (I'm feeling fine today!)

Today's video is going to be delayed. Started feeling ill while recording the final segment. Hoping to get it up tomorrow!
