Summary

Photo credit: Knitter's Review

In this episode we chat with Clara Parkes, who shares a little bit about the Knitter's Review, her books, and her Great White Bale project. There was a lot of info to fit into our usual time, Clara is an amazing source of wooly information. I am sure we didn't touch on everything everyone is interested in and some of our discussion may leave you with more questions. If so, join into the discussion on our Ravelry group. Maybe someone else can help or point you towards more resources!

Thank-you for listening and we hope you enjoy the chat!
