 Take # 371 of this episode after technical difficulties.  It reminded me of the episode of The West Wing where President Bartlett could not successfully pre-record his weekly radio address.  In the end, he finally got through it live.  Turns out, the same strategy worked for me today and I was able to record the rest of the episode in one take and did not need to edit much! Join me as a project reaches a roadblock, a long languishing project sees the light of day again, and I swatch for upcoming projects.  My co-hosts make a return appearance on the show at the very end. Thank you! Thank you to Jasmin and Gigi of the Knitmore Girls Podcast for the recent shoutout And many thanks to Jen of the Down Cellar Studio Podcast and YouTube channel for inviting me to join her for a Crafty Chat on her channel!
