On this episode, Corinne and Maggie have lots of fun knitting updates, shop news, and we have guest segments from Renee, Caitlin, and Rachel on Fair Isle. We're knitting away on colorwork accessories as part of our current Knit-Along. Corinne also has a new toy knit to show us! Renee has lots of sweet and woolly projects going, and Caitlin shares some insight into icelandic wool and lopi yarns. We're also hosting a Lopi trunk show in the shop so Jill gives a little tour of that. And last, we catch up with Rachel and hear how her year has started on Fair Isle, Shetland!
