Welcome to second Stash Enhancer Minisode!

These fun-sized episodes will pop up in between our regularly schedule episodes. Consider them a quick chat with your knitting friends (aka the Stash Enhancers), the group of talented fiber artists who work at Stash.

In this Episode

As the holidays approach, we can’t help but wonder: do you make gifts for others?  What makes a handmade gift recipient “knit-worthy”?  We chat about why we do- or do not- knit for others in general, and especially at Christmastime.

Sydney reveals just how many gifts she’s planning on knitting before Christmas this year.  Hint: it’s A LOT.

Sonia and Kathy also weigh in on their gift knitting philosophies.
