Episode 158: Post-Maryland Depression



So many Baubles and Bling this week after Wendy visits the Maryland Sheep and Wool. WIPs include Sheila's Trillian and Wendy's Mystik Spiral Socks and Brush Creek Cowlette. FOs include a Project of Shame: Wendy's mostly Aquaphobia socks! We draw winners of the monthly stash busting KAL/CAL and the Annika/Chevron Chapeu KAL.
SHOW NOTES

KAL/CAL:  We are hosting a Stash Busting KAL/CAL for the month of May Post a pic of your finished project made from yarn purchased at least 6 months ago in the May Stash Busters Thread and get that stash under control!  A winner will be drawn at the end of the month.

We are also hosting a Sock KAL/CAL.  You choose the pattern.  If you use yarn purchased at least 6 months ago, you can enter your sock in both contests!  A winner will be drawn at the end of May.
