You wouldn't know it from ALL the projects Vivian has been beavering away on, but she does have one cabled project to show off: her Folklore cardi! Plus a bit of color work in the form of both a WIP and an FO. Alyson meanwhile is trundling along with her not so sage Sage shrug.

Episode 132: The magic of blocking

It's cables and brioche for Vivian today! She's working on a cabled cardigan, a brioche hat and finished a cabled hat and a brioche shawl. Phew! And Alyson's all cardigans: her nearly finished South Shore cardigan, and Vivian's cabled cardi is actually for Alyson. Plus it's time to start planning your Archive KCAL projects.

Episode 131: A cat podcast

Congrats to the Moorit Makealong prize winner, Jbryanttoo! In other MAL news, Alyson finished her Kishie vest... ok so maybe it was a wee bit past the MAL end date. But at least that's an FO in the 2024 bank for Alyson to make up for the fact that she only finished 4 projects in 2023. Vivian on the other hand completed a whopping 24 projects last year!

Episode 130: Winning 2024

It's the last month of the Moorit MAL! Alyson is nearly done with her Kishie vest... she might actually finish a project before the end of a craft-along! And Vivian has finished two projects, her Zanni top from Issue 4 and a pair of Whisky Society mittens from Issue 5.
