Commuter Knitter - WFH Edition - Episode 107 - Not Letting Perfection Get in the Way

Four years, four months and a week ago was the last time I recorded an episode of the podcast.  After all this time, my knitting spark has finally turned back into a (small) flame and I have been inspired to return to the podcast to share!

I'm BAAAACCCCKKKK in the Saddle!
