Episode 69: Button Bands, Bags, & Buh Bye 2019

Hello fiber folk! I am too excited about this episode!! Yes, we have a HUGE GIVEAWAY from Lorna Landcaster of The Cocoon Tree . . . but that’s not all! I have a SweetGeogia FO, the Meraki Cowl, plus a lesson about button bands and collars, and a set of German stitch dictionaries that should not be missed! Our Knits in Translation KAL will be in full swing until Feb 1st, so get those entries in! Prizes will be announced soon–yarn and project bags and maybe a pattern or two! And I want to know what’s on your 2020 To-Learn Lists! Share in the chatter over in our knittingthestash Ravelry group! I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings all of us! ~Melissa [Show Notes are down below!]
