Ok! So I am officially a dedicated fan….had to carve out time away from the fam as soon as I saw this posted! For a knitter who doesn’t have a LYS or knitting group with real peeps you ladies OVER compensate for that! Its like a tutorial, inspiration and the comedy club all rolled in to one! Thanks—and Aloha ya’ll!
Wow, great show- congratulations on the 3,000 mark, phenomenal number! Have a blast at Stitches south, be safe and thank you for the tips on leaving c.c. s at home, good honest advice. take care!
Love each one of your shows ladies and I look forward to it each week. I am in Georgia and wanted to be able to go to Stitches South this year but I just am not going to be able to make it. Have fun and enjoy!! I look forward to hearing all about it next week from you ladies!
I would love to learn to spin and I have been checking out Deerfield Creations for one of the tibetan spindles. I do hope you are able to do a tutorial Leslie. I enjoyed your tutorial of spinning on the Trindle from Trindleman Laura and you made it look so easy! I just may have to order one of each and give spinning a try! Yep…that’s all I need is another fiber and fiber craft addiction! LOL!
great show, love it.
Great show – as always!
Can’t wait to get my hands on the Georgia on My Mind pattern… hurry Leslie, hurry!
