In this episode, I talk about how I treated myself to a class on knitting vintage sweaters and all that it brought up, including all kinds of inspiration (reminding me of my love for Elsa Schiaparelli's Cravat sweater) and a reminder that it's okay to treat myself. Music credit, Ketsa "Day Trips"Knitting patterns referenced: Yuccaknits, "naname" and "emma" socks and Please don't eat the daisies "Hitofude" sweater

My opinions are just that. Opinions. Which are a dime a dozen these days.I don't make any claims as to which vendors are better than others, I can just speak to my personal experience and interactions with these vendors. With that being said, I am happy with what I have received so far from the above vendor. I will be able to elaborate further on quality once I start spinning these fleeces. :0)
