This week's WIPs include the Cotton Cowl by Purl Soho, the Fuse Sweater by Veronik Avery and the Brickless shawl by Martina Behm. We have no FOs this week because we recorded only 3 days after the last show! Book reviews this week include Dishcloth Divas and Hank and Gracie Save The Day from Cooperative Press.
Show Notes
