Knitcircus Podcast

In this episode, Jaala and Amy discuss their holiday traditions, both unusual and useful. And if you are down to the wire, they mention a few projects you could bust out in an afternoon or evening.  There's a rundown of upcoming and past events, and then the gals discuss bread-and-butter yarns.
