This podcast brings joy to my day. Brenda’s calming voice, intelligence, wit and honesty are so delightful. It is about knitting, but also crafting in general, life, challenges and more. Thank you Brenda for allowing us to be part of your life and giving sharing your thoughts on life and yes of course, knitting!
