Episode 65: Sleeve Island

Well hello there! I missed you all last week . . . we went to Del Rio, TX to visit our grandbaby and had to skip out of town for the weekend, so no podcasting for me! This week, I’m back with some stories from sleeve island, details about Norwegian yarn, and a fun shawl WIP in progress designed by Melanie Berg. Plus, the winners of the Audrey Borrego patterns and some farm life chatter. Come hang a while? ~Melissa
