On my podcast, Very Serious Crafts: On season 2, episode 10, the Very Serious Crafters get excited about Mollie’s antique spinning wheel, weigh in on pre-washing fabric, and tell you why you really should be blocking your finished knitting and crochet projects. We also go on a rather unexpected stripper cat tangent (which either will or won’t make much more sense when you actually hear the episode).
Recently on the blog: I’ve recently shared two posts in our new Handmade Wardrobe series, one about my experiences sewing Simplicity pattern 1803 and the ESP Dress from Decades of Style. I also dug in to the basics of using the app knitCompanion, one of my favorite new tools for working with charted patterns of all kinds.
