Episode 312: I Should Be Knocking Out Some Knockers

  Recorded Thursday, April 16, 2026 Book talk starts at 28:00 Our spring KAL is the One-Skein KAL!  Find that beautiful skein of yarn you've been saving for someday and knit it up into whatever you want - a hat, a cowl, mitts or socks.  The only rules are that your project must use at least 100 yards of yarn and be all from a single skein of yarn.  We cast on for this KAL starting February 1 and go through May 15.
