Episode 182 - This is how traditions are born!

The holiday season and the end of the year are incredibly busy times for most of us as we balance our lives with the additional activities that go along with the season. For that reason, we've decided to repeat last year's relaxing end-of-the-year chat with moderator Robbie. This is how traditions are born! We share our usual segments, chat a bit about the upcoming Self-indulgent knit-a-long, and Robbie shares a bit about her "Love your stash" threads and how it has changed and improved her stashing habits. Please check out this discussion as we "change the culture of stash!"

A big "thank-you" to everyone for sticking with us for another year, or joining us on our fiber journey  this year. We appreciate you, thank you for listening, and wish you all the happiest of holiday seasons! Happy knitting and Happy New Year everyone!

Episode 181 - Paws and charity knitting


When we recorded this episode I had a cold, and somehow imagined my voice to be much more froggy than in reality it sounds. I'm glad, though my overall stuffiness probably caused me to participate less than usual. Fortunately, we are joined by Monika from CompassioKnit for the final segment of the show. We talk about knitting for charities, and about Monika's CompassionKnit charity located in San Francisco. If you are looking for a way to give to charity for the holidays or at any time of year, knitting for charities is a great option. Monika's CompassionKnit Ravelry group can be found here.
