Episode 14 - Semi-Serial Monogamist

Listen Later

Off The Needles

      Finds:

      • Paula mentioned an ebay item called Jin Que that are essentially Chiao Goos without the red cable. $5.69 for 11 circs 32". Bought one. Also have pink crochet hooks that look like Tulip Etimo hooks (Japanese brand, very well known).
