This podcast combines week 2 and 3 of the Woolly Notebook Knit-along. I take a look at the patterns Castiel and Half Theory from Woolly Wormhead, take a look at the difference in yarn overs (hint they are not all created equally) before moving on to the Tin Can Knits Strange Brew KAL and there is a special look at the Knitting and Stitching Show in Dublin this November. If all of that wasn’t enough there is also a look at what you can be doing in your garden this October/November.
