Episode 89: I Weave You Weave

cover89aThis episode features the following segments: The Back Porch, Ever-expanding Skill Set, and Double Happiness. I’ve been working away on Christmas gifts, and completed two hats using the Rhode Island Red pattern. This summer, the art teachers worked on cleaning out the supply cabinet; they called on me to rescue a table loom that had been languishing on the top shelf for years. In doing some research, I found out about a fascinating Canadian woman and a grain company’s initiative to improve the welfare of its customers. When the Yarns at Yin Hoo group on Ravelry reaches 500 members, one listener will receive a $25 Etsy gift certificate.  Have you joined the group? Introduce yourself for a chance to win!

Ever-expanding Skill Set

This Leclerc loom hasn't been used for decades. It needs some restorative attention, but I'm eager to put it back to use.
