Tricks and Techniques for Choosing Multiple Colors in a Knitting Project // Casual Friday 4-43

Описание: In this week's podcast I have a couple of Tidbits, an update to my spinning breed study, plus I give my tricks for choosing yarn for a multi-color project. Also, a conversation with my daughters about growing up in a household with a knitting-obsessed mother, and how that influenced their creative lives.
