Hello TWT Folks,
I’m having so much fun watching past “shopcasts.” Thank you for all of them! I have one request, please: Please put the yarns used, including colorways, in the written words (as you do the patterns and creators of the patterns). Sometimes it’s impossible to decipher from the chatting what yarns you’re using. Thank you.
Also, I’m a longtime Elizabeth Zimmermann and Schoolhouse Press fan. What EZ and Meg and now Cully have to offer seems a shoe-in with your yarns. I’ll bet a lot of your new and not-so-new knitters aren’t familiar with EZ and the history of what EZ means to us knitters who love her. Offering their books/patterns would be grand, imho. And I just happened to have had a book published by them in 2010, “Spinning Around – Spinning, Dyeing, and Knitting Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Classics.” Perhaps some of your customers would find it useful and interesting. Thank you.
Cheers, Jeannine (Jenny) Bakriges
