SHOW NOTES
This week's WIPs include Indigo Frost Poncho, Atomic Blender Socks, Toe-up ankle socks, and CBD Fudge Neckcessory. We had two PHD's: one Atomic Blender sock and one ankle sock. Baubles and bling this week included a bag and notions from Knittingsmybag, Sockotta gifted to Sheila by a viewer and a miniature LL Bean bag. We also announce an upcoming Craftsy class review and a contest being held by designer Stephannie Tallent to win the class for free!
Shout Outs:
Mar/Apr KAL/CAL will be to knit with variegated yarn! Trying digging something out from deep stash! We will draw two winners during the first episode in May.
Sheila is also hosting a Blue Moon Fiber Arts KAL/CAL that will continue throughout the year and includes any projects made from Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn. We will draw the next winner in May.
We will also be reviewing a new Craftsy class by designer Stephannie Tallent called "Custom Colorwork Techniques: Mitts" which will roll out around May 2. Stephannie is holding a contest HERE up until the class release date where you can win the class for free! Once the class is live, we will review it on the show and have a 50% coupon code for our viewers. So, if you haven't checked out Craftsy yet, this is a good opportunity to do it.
