Episode 69 – Crafting through Grief and Loss [A Knitting and Handspinning Podcast/Vlog]

Hello again, friends! It’s been such a long time since I shared with you, and it’s really lovely to be back. This episode is quite a bit more personal than what I usually share and I do spend some time speaking openly about death, grief, and healing after loss. This episode also features some beautiful new FOs and WIPs that I’m really enjoying, as well as a truly lovely tea and, as usual, lots of stories peppered throughout. Thank you for choosing to spend some of your precious time here with me. I hope you enjoy the episode!
