Episode 344

I’m still knitting on the same projects as last episode, so I indulge in some dream knitting and talk about three patterns that have my attention for spring / summer knitting.

I include a recipe for black sesame cornbread and two poems by Poet Laureate Ada Limǒn. Plus, the winner of the Q1 prize is announced!

Plus, a poem by Wendell Berry.
