I love watching your Shopcast. I get great information about the yarns you carry and you always inspire me with everyone’s different projects. I too have Gudrun and Mary Jane’s Grand Shetland Adventure Knits book and want to knit many of the designs in there. I am attempting to knit Mary Jane’s Ling V-Neck for the colorwork KAL. Not a lot of colorwork but I love the design! But what was I thinking???? Size 3 needles and fingering weight yarn!🧶 😉 🤦🏼♀️ It is coming along though.
Keep the Shopcast coming, always fun!
