Episode 72: A Different Cold

In which I talk about cold in context, got my drum carder and taught a great felting class, talk homogeneous blending for Level 4, finish a Christmas present and almost finish another knitting project, plan to use the Autoknitter this weekend, and make a bit more progress on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!
