Shopcast 233: Sweater Knit-Along Plans and Other Knitterly Chat
On this episode while Corinne is on vacation, Maggie and Jill are our hosts! We talk socks, vests, and Sweater KAL plans. They share lots of new sweater kits we've assembled for the occasion. We have segments from Thistler community member Mary who shows lots of her projects, and Caitlin takes us through the Indiana State Fair knitting exhibitions. We end with a Fair Isle postcard from Rachel!
