BTF Episode 71: Lifeline
In which I talk about lifelines in knitting and life, make some cool batts and decide to get my own drum carder, go over the three novelty yarns I spun for Level 4, make some progress on my knitting projects, have some setbacks learning to use the Autoknitter, and make a bit more progress on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!
