Episode 54: Video Challenge




Annoucements:

There will be 3 episodes as part of this series for The Plurk Podcasters Challenge.

FOs:


1. Carmen's Toddler Raglan Hoodie (rav pattern link) by Megan Goodacre: knit in the 12 month size using green Shuibuiknits Superwash Merino Worsted and left over bits of black Knitpicks Swish Worsted.  I misspoke in the video in that this was knit from the top down and then after I steeked I picked up stitches for the hood and completed the hood.  After hood was completed THEN I did button band.
