Knitting a Good Yarn Podcast - Bonus Ep (0.75?): Inspired by Ellen KAL, Nutiden Q&A + A Giveaway!

Welcome to the Knitting A Good Yarn Podcast!

This episode is a little different from the usual: We hop on Zoom to share a few projects, but mostly chatter about our Inspired by Ellen KAL plans, creativity, answer the top questions we’ve gotten about Nutiden + announce a Giveaway!

If you’re here for the usual content (FOs + WIPs in Nutiden and non-Nutiden yarn), we’ll be back together in-person (with better colour vision + all the projects) at the end of August.
