Shopcast 185: Knitting Joy at the Holidays

By Caitlin Johnson

 

On this episode, Corinne and Maggie are here with quite a few pretty knits to show, both old and new. Corinne's third version of her new sweater design is coming along, and Maggie's planning her way out of her knitting funk. Kelsey shows us her Christmas stockings and some things she learned from swatching with new Wensleydale Longwool. And Emma has some ideas about enjoying the gift knitting process and knitting in the new year.
