Episode 97: 40,000 Steps

Friday, March 8, 2012

This is a short episode, with the bulk of it being the tutorial. I talk about my knitting progress on both the Evenstar and some basic socks, but I don't show any knitting. I have been very busy this week walking. The tutorial this week is the start of the Basic Socks - Toe-up.
