Intro
Hello and welcome to a decidedly low sugar version of the podcast. I hope you are all getting over your Easter chocolate hangovers. Thanks to everyone who has been in touch with feedback following Episode 40, which was an interview with Stephen West.
Edinburgh Yarn Festival has been announced for 2016 and the programme will start on 17th March with the teaching, and the show itself on the 18th and 19th of March (Friday and Saturday).
Enablers’ Corner
Tin Can Knits are back with a killer new collection of supremely cute baby wear, with some matchy matchy patterns for the grown ups too. Max and Bodhi’s Wardrobe consists of six patterns, three of which go up to adult size. The first pattern, Playdate, has already been released, with the rest on a two-weekly schedule.
The collection is available now, at $14 for the e-book and $18 + shipping for the print copy plus ebook.
