Back to our usual transatlantic format, I'm afraid! But there's lots of crafty content to be had. Alyson has revived a colorful old WIP and even has a finished objects. It's actually a hat heavy episode because Vivian has finished two hats as well!

It's an extra extra extra special episode. Not only are we together again (twice in two months!), but we're together in Rhinebeck, home of the yarn famous New York State Sheep & Wool Festival! We had an amazing time together, and with our Rhinebeck housemates. The Sheep & Wool Festival, as well as Folk & Folk (a yarn and music festival) were incredible. We've struggled to capture in words how truly wonderful it all was, and we were super tired after a weekend of wool and friends!

It's a special together in Scotland episode! Vivian has been helping out Alyson with Moorit and vending at the Perth Festival of Yarn. We both had so many good chats with folks at the show, and of course, we both did a bit of shopping! In actual crafting news, Vivian has finished her Sailaway cardigan in record time.

Oopsie! We've been sitting on this episode for a few weeks, so some of our Stranger Things comments is a little out of date. Also apologies for anyone who doesn't watch Stranger Things... this is one Buzzfeed quiz that might not make much sense to you! But we've got crafty content for you, including both Alyson and Vivian's assigned color pooling shawls.
