LET'S TALK SOCKS! Knits n Pieces Episode 43

Join Kelly and Noelle for a multi-crafting, mostly knitting podcast. This episode is all about socks...from choosing yarn to the final finishing stitches. If you've never knit socks we hope to inspire you with the confidence to try and if you're a sock knitting pro there may still be a few tips you can pick up along the way. We're also showing off lots of socks we've made too so maybe you'll see a pattern you'd like to try. There is a Year Long Sock-a-Long for you to join in our Ravelry Group. Stick around to the end for a chance to win a great #giveaway .
