  • Perfect if you like wine, chat and yarn!

    Big fan of this podcast, we have a lot of knitting podcast options on YouTube but much fewer available to listen to. I listen and afterwards jump through the YouTube video to see the yarn which works well for me since I like the wine and miscellaneous chat!! Hope you keep this going 👍🏻
