Episode 76 - Another FO Parade

Saturday, October 13, 2012

I have more finished objects and two new projects. I talk about getting back to my spinning. There are new updates on the October KAL and I remind everyone that you only have a day or two to use the coupon code for a discount on a Mitten pattern. I also talk about the upcoming New York Sheep and Wool Festival and where I will be if you want to get together.
