Episode 186: Mom, Your Sweater's On Backwards

This week my cohost is Thing2! WIPs include the Oxford Hooded Cowl and the Spring Cable socks knit from a frogged 2 year old project. My PHD is one sock. Featured baubles and bling are the new Knitter's Pride Platina cables and Della Q interchangeable needle pouch that I purchased from Hub Mills. We draw the winners of the Lake Effect and Lake Avenue patterns at the end of the show.
