The ghost of knitting past is back to haunt Alyson, but she's totally a pro now. Just kidding, she drops a stitch while recording this episode (lol). But in better news, her Jade dress is looking less like a bolero and more like a crop top. And Vivian even has a new project to talk about... at least someone is managing to present FOs around here!

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.
