Episode 77: Sailing through Life

In which I talk about how life sometimes tells you where you need to go, talk about some upcoming teaching and the yarn I’ve completed spinning recently, go over “cellulose fibres” for Level 5, finish two projects and try to figure out what to do next, review two books that have a fibre arts connection, and move the frame on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!
