Look what I found on the Lion Brand Yarn Craft blog today! It’s from their podcast, but I don’t do podcasts. If the truth is told – I’m not very clear on just what a podcast is. Happily for me, they put links from their podcast on the blog.
Ah -
blogs are something a vintage grandmother can understand!
