Episode 94 - Lots of Spinning

Friday, February 15, 2012

The Knit Swirl is finally finished, even with a few bumps at the very end. The Evenstar is finally making some progress again, and should be completed in the next few weeks. I also share a new toy that I have been wanting for quite some time. This week's tutorial is Spinning on a Wheel. It is quite long so I only share with you the first half this week and will share the second half next week. I also talk a bit about Knit-topia 2013 and 2014. Enjoy!
