EP95 - My Fitness Pal

Saturday, February 23, 2012

In this episode, I talk about my use of My Fitness Pal, as well as FitBit. I share my progress on the Evenstar, and show the finish plyed Alpaca that I have been working on. Then there is the second half of the spinning on a wheel tutorial, and finally I wrap up with a few sponsors for Knit-topia 2013.
