Audio from the YouTube Live podcast 5/25/17...
Join me LIVE to discuss preparing your woolies for their summer's nap. I'll share my moth-fighting story from the end of last summer (now that the trauma is ten months behind me), plus lots of painful lessons learned.
Apologies for the naughty word late in the podcast, but moths are the worst!
Today we are doing a little therapy session! Let's talk about perfection, mistakes, honesty, and practice.
Plus I have the Filament No. 2 trunk in-house, so how about a little show? You can order your print copy from http://www.knitfilament.com or the ebook at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/filament-no-2-spring-2017

In whatever way you came to this podcast episode (and the KAL), thank you so much for being here. Many of you joined us through the #strongertogether and #knitterspayitforward hashtags when I gave away thousands of patterns in November to put some good into the world. I hope that you are joining me in doing just that in whatever way you can. Each of us knows that piling up those stitches/deeds leads to wonderful things, so keep up the good work.
Happy knitting!
xoxo, Kathleen
