Episode 6: Lace Interval

Episode 6

Originally released on 6/21/10

Now that warm sunny days are round the corner… we hope, we hope, we’re starting to look at lace projects. Lofty airy, perfect for knitting on a sultry summer day. If only the darned rain would stop, but we do live in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks again to the Naked Sheep for letting us ‘cast in the back.’  And, yes, we are going to start podcasting more frequently between our larger podcasts. Rachel and I will be doing smaller episodelettes on individual features.
