Knitting A Good Yarn Podcast - Ep 1. (Seriously!!!!): It’s All A Work In Progress - Knits + KALs

Welcome to the Knitting A Good Yarn Podcast!

We made it back together for the OFFICIAL first episode including all the knits (WIPs and FOs and dreamknits) and the official details and the official details for the upcoming Inspired by Ellen Knit-A-Long.

First, an apology: The colours in this episode are a little blown out (especially the stunning Prism Suri Alpaca which needs to be seen: https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpVnBcu6rs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) as are our attempts to show patterns screen to screen. We're learning about lighting (it was thunderstorming outside) and are working on making improvements for the next episode.
