What's on our Lesson Plan today:
We discuss our goals for podcasting. We are going to focus on LYS's and knitting festivals, groups, guilds and conventions where knitters gather for fun and fiber-y goodness. We will be visiting these venues and interviewing knitters and other exciting and talented people in the knitting world! Our blog will have a spreadsheet that lists all of our reviews for the local yarn shops that we visit. Come back often and have a look at our LYS list as you travel and are out and about on your field trips .Ravelry inventors: Casey & Jessica - For more info on how they started Ravelry click here.
