Episode 106: He's DEAD!

The ladies bring you the usual project chat, including Sheila's ongoing Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow shawl, and Wendy's In The Pink spiral shawl. Wendy shows her completed Breakwater sweater. Baubles and Bling this week include the latest pattern by designer Angeleah McGarrah, along with a coupon code! We also discuss the upcoming festivals in New England.
