We dedicate this episode to the victims of the Marathon Bombing and its aftermath. Wendy and Sheila show their current WIPs including Sheila's Wonderful Wallaby sweater and Wendy's Chicken Viking hat and Trillian shawl. FOs this week include Sheila's Iris Goddess of the Rainbow shawl and Wendy's Christmas Tree hat. We also show the In The Pink shawl from last week after blocking. We draw two winners of the Hugs and Kisses Socks at the end of the show.
