Episode 26: Warm Up Your Knits

F This Knit

We recorded this fresh out of the Polar Vortex so our topic this month is, Warm Up Your Knits! We discuss different ways to make your knitting projects warmer via stitch options, fiber content, and garment types. Also big news: We're going to release TWO EPISODES this month! We hit our goal on Patreon for the month of February so that means you get to hear from us twice. (we did have a few people lower their donations after we hit that goal though so now we're back down, tell your friends about our Patreon!)

Also we had two questions from fans that we answer on the show!

• What style knitter are the three of us?
• What swifts/ballwinders do we recommend?

*Note: Amber had Technical Difficulties with updating the show notes so those will get fully updated later in the day. The below links/notes aren't going to be everything we talked about!
