BTF Episode 28: Overcommitted

In which I try to avoid commitment paralysis, spin three novelty yarns and half of a fourth, spin for knitting and crochet in Level 2, get a bit further on the Pi shawl and the cardigan and cast on another shawl, and get the front half of the horse finished on the Tapestry. Thanks for listening!
