Shopcast 242: Knitting for the Birds! Robins, Ducks, and More!

By Caitlin Johnson

 

On this episode, Corinne and Maggie are knitting along on their gifts and other projects. They have Studio Donegal blankets to unfold for you, plus Killen Sock Yarn from Black Isle Yarns coming very soon! Caitlin shows us her first Marie Wallin projects and some alternate colorways you could make, plus Renee joins us with lots of beautiful projects she's finished. We finish off with a yoga session with Kim to help boost our systems during cold and flu season. Enjoy!
