Episode 71: A Quick Hello

Welcome to Episode 71 of the YarnderWoman Podcast!




This episode is a little different from normal - filmed over a couple of days during the last month, and in a vlog-style rather than me talking to camera. Life has been very full lately, so I'm glad to have this format to use to share some knitting with you, and to tide you over until I can record a more 'usual' episode. :-)



You can see all my projects on my Ravely project page.



The app I mention is called Forest, and I love growing my little trees and shrubs as a way of halting excessive/mindless/distracting phone usage.



Happy crafting!
