On this episode, Maggie is joined by Graidi as Corinne is out sick - welcome Graidi and feel better Corinne! Today is our Shawl Knit-Along Cast-on day, so join us as we begin our shawls and haps! In the shop today we have Marie Wallin kits from her Westmorland book. We're also bringing in the bright colors of Jamieson & Smith Shetland Aran! Kelsey joins us to share some shawl ideas and her Very V Sweater in Mungo. We welcome Erika (our video editor!) who's sharing her sock knitting experiences. Emma's here to show her Setesdal sweater project and talk about haps and shawls too. And we have some meditation practice with Kim from Yoga with Kim!
