Thank you for another great shopcast! Time spent with you all brightens my day and inspires me so much! I rematch many episodes and love every single one. The Scandinavian sweater book is calling my name! I look forward to trying Finullgarn and perhaps the Annajakke sweater kit! Thank you again, your work doing these shop sets is so appreciated!
