Shopcast #273: Corinne and Maggie are back! New WIPs, Shop News, and a Knit-A-Long!
Watch this episode of the Shopcast on YouTube!
Our technical difficulties from the last episode are behind us! Maggie and Corinne are back this week to talk about what they're knitting, what's new in the shop, and the start of our Colorwork Accessories KAL! Joining them are our wonderful contributors Emma, who shows off her newest sweater and her plans for it, and Rachel from Fair Isle and her adorable flock of hardy island sheep. We also welcome special guest Michele, one of our regular viewers who bravely submitted us a video to inspire us and cheer us on for our Colorwork knitting projects!

I’ve only recently discovered The Woolly Thistle.
I enjoyed seeing the various knitted items, but the view from the sheep farm was also of interest. I grew up on a farm and ranch (cattle) and know how much weather can have an impact.
