Stitch by Stitch Videocast

Chitty chatty as always, a shout out to 2014 World Series winners the San Francisco Giants (Go Giants!), NaKnitSweMo insanity, and fleece processing. It's a longer episode which means there are some captions (remember my 45 minute rule), so be sure to periodically look at the bottom of the screen for revisions/clarifications/edits. Enjoy!

Check out the Raverly Group for current KAL's and SAL's, contests, and giveaways!

As always DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. 

My opinions are just that. Opinions. Which are a dime a dozen these days.

I don't make any claims as to which vendors are better than others, I can just speak to my personal experience and interactions with these vendors. With that being said, I am happy with what I have received so far from the above vendor. I will be able to elaborate further on quality once I start spinning these fleeces. :0)

Some extra bits from episode 23 that I forgot to add in. Short and sweet, but this is what the 'Friends to Knit/Spin With' segment is supposed to look like. Enjoy this little tidbit.

The idea is that I'll compile a list of my top picks of the month and share them on the videocast. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's contributions in the FTKW Giveaway thread.
