On this episode, Corinne and Maggie have lots to share about their knitting and crafting journeys - Corinne's finished wrist warmers, sock WIPs, Maggie's year of socks progress, and more! Caitlin joins to talk about some recent projects and also offer advice for choosing a yarn other than the pattern calls for by looking at recommended gauge. Rachel on Fair Isle has an update from the croft and her adventures to Edinburgh. Corinne and Maggie also answer a few Thistler questions about the TWT team and how the shop got its start. Enjoy!

I so much look forward to each and every podcast. Sitting down to watch is like visiting with an old friend. And, I love Maggie’s input about her spinning, as I am also a spinner.
