would I ever go on a yarn ban, what knitting does for me, thoughts on gift knitting / knit & chat

Hello, I'm Vanissia, welcome to this special episode of The Woolly Worker Knitting Podcast where I chat through a few things that have been on my mind lately or that you've asked me to discuss. This podcast is a place for me to chat away about my knitting, plans for the future, yarn acquisitions, etc. I keep a very detailed description box, but if you have any questions, drop me a message :)
