Knitter's Life, Season 2, Episode 1

Happy New Year!! I have lots of new subscribers here. Welcome!! This one is extra long because I decided to reintroduce myself at the beginning. I also spend time looking forward and looking back. I did an assessment of what I knit and the yarn I spun to look back. Looking forward, I show you how I create a list of my intended projects. Like so many of you, I want to try to knit from my stash in 2022. Best intentions!! I talk about how/why I came to this conclusion. I listed yarns I have so as to activate these in my mind as I plan new projects. Last, I talk about my plans for allyship chats. I hope to interweave these into most of the episodes for season 2. I love reading your comments!! I am so grateful you are here! Any questions? Post below, or DM me on Insta or Rav.
