Shopcast 172: It's My Sweater and I'll Swatch If I Want To!

By Caitlin Johnson

On this episode, Corinne and Maggie give us another glimpse at all the contents of this year's Sock Bag. Maggie has several pairs of socks going, and Corinne has her finished green Victory Cardigan to show us! We're also introducing you to a new-to-us yarn, Navia from the Faroe Islands! Emma talks about the socks she has knit from last year's Sock Bag, and Kelsey shows the swatches she's made for Vanilla Sweaters with other yarns. Finally, Kim is back from Turning Ground Yoga with another relaxing session for us.
