Shopcast #261: Corinne is back with Maggie with a new design!
Watch this episode on YouTube!
Corinne and Maggie are back together in this week’s Shopcast, and we couldn’t be happier! Corinne debuts her brand-new sweater design, Big Sister, in Rauma Fivel with mohair, and opens the call for test knitters. Maggie shares her latest WIPs (and a sweater mishap you’ll love). Ruth shares her crochet and the WYS Springtime Blanket, Rachel has lovely postcard from Fair Isle, Emma shares her WIP challenge and Sweater KAL sweater, and Kelsey shows her Shift Cowl and experiences with markets and fiber festivals.
It’s a fun, cozy episode full of laughs, wool, and community—just what we love most here at The Woolly Thistle. Don’t miss this reunion and the exciting debut of Corinne’s newest design!
