NEW GIFTAWAY…CLOSED SEPT. 19, 2023
Manon @lavioletteknits has generously donated a skein of Fleece Artist Cottage Sock in the Greenwich Dunes colourway as a gift to one of you and I am going to add one of my sock patterns to this as well. Use the word Summer in your comment…any way that you like and I will draw a random comment when I podcast next in late September 2023 and announce it on my next episode. I will send this prize anywhere in the world! Beware of scammers…I will not contact you through comments and will only announce the winner on the next podcast Episode 24!!
