Strings'n Things...the Podcast
Knitting, blogging, and now podcasting from the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. Join me in my adventures (and sometimes, misadventures) with sticks and string.

In this week’s episode, let’s talk socks… or not. Actually, let’s talk colour knitting instead; included is a review of Alice Starmore’s “Book of Fair Isle Knitting”. As well, how do you motivate yourself to finish your works in progress (wips)?
We’ll also make our draw; if you commented on Episode #2, stay tuned because this is the episode! Good luck to all who entered the contest to win two skeins of laceweight baby alpaca yarn.

I really enjoyed this podcast. I'm looking forward to you thoughts on knitting to fit. It was especially fun to hear my name called out as being the winner of the laceweight yarn. Thank you.
Really enjoying your podcast, thanks!
