On this episode, Corinne and Maggie have lots of knitting to share - they've been working on their shawls as part of our Shawl Knit-Along, plus other good things! Renee shows us her recent FOs and WIPs along with a few test knits! Caitlin has a Manchelopis sweater and some tips for working three colors. And Rachel tells us how her March has been on Fair Isle in Shetland.
