Melody Crochet Podcast 56 - Socks and Sweaters for February


Hi! This is my crochet podcast where I discuss my knitting and crochet projects. This week I am talking about everything I have been up to since Christmas Crochet. I am working on a robe, a sweater, some sock and I collected some fun yarny notions! 


A little about me? My favorite things to make are hats, shawls, socks and slippers. I love yarn, tea, coffee and making. I hope to share that love with you.
