Shopcast 193: Shawl Along with Us!

By Caitlin Johnson

On this episode, Corinne and Maggie have some knitting tales and projects to tell us about! Swatching, previous mishaps, and some successes too! They share the Studio Donegal blankets that arrive in the shop on air-date, plus new Retrosaria Brusca colors and Kate Davies' new Allover book! Emma shows a fabulous sweater and other projects in the works, and Kelsey shares a sweater in Mungo she's working on, plus she takes us through her sock darning steps! Finally, we have Yoga with Kim who helps us with some spine health.

  • Lovely episode as always ladies, you have added to my To-Do List yet again! Kelsie’s Mungo Sweater for warmer climates is EXCITING to this Texan! That will be a perfect project for indoors with air conditioning down here! The Brusca colors are gorgeous and B581 IS a great color, Maggie! There is definitely a color work sweater using Brusca in my future!I hope you will continue to offer the Donegal Blankets, it’s going to take time to get all the colors I want! Thanks to the entire TWT family, and can’t wait for Shopcast #194!
