Welcome to our Podcast! Join us on weekly episodes of crochet conversations with us, Inez and Mell, as we discuss all topics relating to crochet; from the commonplace to the controversial.
In this episode, we go more in dept about the world of art markets in Singapore. Last week we mentioned a little about what it was like applying for such markets and how the whole creative process was like for us. This week though, we'll talk more about what we like and don't like about it (aka Pros and Cons - although some Cons do end up becoming Pros, you know how that's like...) as well as share some of our most memorable events.

In this episode, we give you a list of aaaallll the things you can do with yarn scraps other than just throwing them away.

It may not seem like much, but if all of us could just implement a little bit of these Yarn Scrap Options, 50 generations from now we might just have a planet more beautiful than it is today.
