On this week’s Shopcast, Maggie flies solo sharing her sweater WIPs, inspiration, and even a bit of sweater drama! Corinne is joined by the wonderful Denise DeSantis (Earthtones Girl) to chat about her brand-new book No Fear Sock Knitting and her journey from sweater knitter to sock expert. Plus, Kim from Turning Ground Yoga leads us in a special Yoga for Knitters segment to help us keep our bodies moving and our knitting flowing.
