CH 4 : Knitting Design and Making Soap




Curious Handmade with Helen Stewart show

Summary: Hello and welcome to Episode 4 of the Curious Handmade Podcast. Today I'm talking about a charity knitting project, my knitting design process, making soap and some other bits and bobs. Charity knitting project I was knitting for this campaign at work yesterday: The Big Issue are running a campaign called the big-knitathon to benefit homeless people in the UK. Whats in the WIP I share how I design my knitting patterns for you.
