Shopcast 190: Knitting in the Colorwork Accessories KAL and more!

By Caitlin Johnson

On this episode, we're a week in to our Colorwork Accessories Knit-Along. Corinne and Maggie have their projects to show, plus Black Isle Yarns that are coming to the shop on Shopcast day! Kelsey and Emma are with us to show their current projects (including fabulous colorwork of course!). Kelsey also compares Plotülopi and Manchelopis unspun yarns. Finally we have Yoga with Kim to help stretch those legs and hips.
