This time we bead beads with the Craftsy,com class Brilliant Knit Beads with Betsy Hershberg.  Lots of fun and you can create your own knitted and beaded Christmas ornaments.

Ariana loves the Craftsy Class Improve your Knitting with Patty Lyons.  She has been ramping up with many knitting techniques featured in this important Craftsy class in order to get ready for the many Sweater Knitting Craftsy Classes planned for 2015.  Mom has brought back luxurious baby Alpaca yarn to replenish the yarn coffers from her trek to Machu Picchu, Peru.  Way to go, MOM !

Ariana announces the winners for the two Giveways:  Yazzii.com and My First Socks by Lucy Neatby.  First time, a winner for the Yazzii.com Giveaway was selected from those who receive the podcast by email.  If this is you, please check your email.

The podcast ends with a demo for Stranded Knitting.  Ariana demonstrates her new favourite way to trap floats.  She takes this demo as the opportunity to re-visit how she does yarn tension management for continental knitting.

Wishing you holiday cheer for the festive season.  May you cherish the time you have to spend with family and friends.  Looking forward to the New Year 2015 with lots more crafty goodness. 

With heartfelt wishes from our family to yours, Ariana
