 SHOW NOTES
Shout Outs:

We draw winners of the final KAL/CAL at the end of the show.  We also draw a winner of the Double or Nothing eBook.  Sheila has already contacted the winner of the Blue Moon Fiber Arts KAL/CAL.  Sheila is sending out all of the random membership list drawing yarn prizes and we plan to use up the remaining money in the podcast account to purchase pattern prizes.  Thank you SO much to those who have donated recently!  It was very sweet and it will definitely help defray the overseas shipping costs.  That being said, we do need to spend down the podcast account, so from this point on we no longer need donations.  We want to make sure that every donated prize and every penny of donated money goes back to the podcast audience!!
