I'm Knitting on a Tight Budget | Runway Trends & Slow Fashion

Описание: Welcome to Sorcha and Lilac — the Island Knitter Podcast TV.
I’m Claire, and today I’m back on the sofa in my new little studio, sharing what I’ve been knitting, designing, and dreaming up as we ease into a new creative year.

In this episode, I talk about:
