Shopcast 184: Maggie's Knitting Funk Plus New Wensleydale Longwool

By Caitlin Johnson

 

On this episode, Corinne is wearing her new design prototype in Biches et Buches le Gros Lambswool and shares about how the design is coming along. Maggie's been in a knitting funk, but still has lots of projects to show! Caitlin shares her progress on two projects, and we have a visit from Rachel in Fair Isle who's had a very hard and sad month of November. We have Alafosslopi and two other new yarns to show and more in the shop, plus we finish with a relaxed yoga session with Kim.

  • Maggie in a funk?????? OK – I want to know who cooks dinner in her house! Gorgeous knitting and spinning all around.
    O – and farewell sweet Blossom :( It has been so sweet to at least meet her. These glimpses into a far away life are priceless.
    Thank you for sharing…
