Episode description
Today is a bumper episode, as the British would say. I’ll update you on what I’ve been knitting - and it’s been quite a lot. I’ll also play a handful of seasonal songs both silly and sweet, for your enjoyment. There has been a lot brewing, bubbling and baking in my kitchen lately - so I’ll share what I’ve been making. And it is the Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year...
A bumper crop of show notes: (Sorry for the delay, folks!)
Housekeeping:
