Episode 93: Advent




Yarns from the Plain show

Summary: Hello from the Cheshire Plain. This episode was recorded on 30th November but unfortunately editing took a back seat to real life, so only got finished now.<br> <br> On The Needles<br> <br> As well as my Dorothy for WIPCrackAway, I've been working on the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/2014-mystery-kal">Mystery Hat</a> from <a href="http://www.woollywormhead.com/">Woolly Wormhead</a>.
