Episode 105: Ghost Stories at Christmas Time

News:
We will be taking time off for the year end/New Years, so podcasts will be roughly every other week for a little while.
The Source of Evil MKAL is afoot! It’s a mosaic knit shawl inspired by the architecture of Barad-Dur and Orthanc, using two skeins of fingering weight yarn that have a high degree of contrast.  Deadline to enter projects for prizes is mid/late January!  But if you finish by the end of the year you can double dip in Lauren’s There and Back Again KAL…
Upcoming markets that Emily will be at are the Flea Off Holiday Bazaar on 12/17 and 12/18, and the Goblin Market in Marietta, GA on 4/22
Lauren is getting together Team Temperature 2023, if you’ve ever wanted to do a temperature project like a scarf or blanket, start planning to join in on the fun!
