EP99 - It's a Balancing Act

Friday, March 22, 2013

This is a long show filled with information. I show a finished object, a couple of WIPS, there is a tutorial for the short-row heel from my Basic Socks Pattern, and we have a winner for the Free Lo Lo Bar. I also talk about my plans for the week and the planning I have been doing for Knit-topia. Enjoy!
