Episode description
BTF 009: Connections to the Past
In which I talk about how fibre arts connect us to the past, discuss the plethora of resources I’ve been finding for Level 2, contemplate the importance of a common set of terms in fibre arts, talk about how project monogamy didn’t work for me this week, read two of the spinning poems/songs I found, and bring you up to date on the Bayeux tapestry project. Thanks for listening!
