What we’re learning from our Knitting and Crochet
Catherine was looking for a quick project and settled on the Skinni Mini Scarf by Darla Fanton. She crocheted it in Purl Feza in a gold colorway.
Margaret whipped up two quick bracelet kits by Javori Designs. One was Arya, a crocheted wrap bracelet in the sapphire colorway and the other is the knitted Paloma in Starry Night colorway.

Teaching Your Brain to Knit 
Loved this podcast! This may be a repeat post–sorry if so. It’s my first here. Would love to be entered for the prize yarn! Have been learning to knit for about 28 months now and I can tell my brain has improved. Needed it! hahaha

Hi,
I’m glad you’re enjoying the podcast. One of my goals for the new year is to improve my understanding of WordPress. Then maybe I can make it easier to post a comment — because we love comments. I just have no idea how many people really check out the shownotes so it’s been a lower priority.
Knitting has really improved your brain in 28 months? How can you tell? That’s very cool.
Thanks for listening and posting even though it was difficult.
