Fraoch Knits Ep. 8; Billie Pullover and a History of Aran Knitting

Hi everyone and welcome to episode 8 of the Fraoch Knits podcast! It's lovely to be back with you after nearly six weeks of a break. I hope you have all had a good rest over the Christmas period and are well back into the swing of things in the New Year. In today's video I take a look at my latest finished object, the Billie Pullover and look at a history of Aran Knitting.
The video includes footage of a trip I made to the Museum of Country Life in Turlough Parke, Co. Mayo last November.
I hope you enjoy the video! If you do please give it a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't already. Many thanks and happy knitting!
