Episode 4 - Still Improving

Welcome Everyone,

I forgot to mention two things:
First and foremost thank you so much Leslie aka Pixie Knits for gifting me the Stripe Study shawl, it really cheered me up and made my day.
Second I always forget to say: If you are a returning viewer thank you for coming back and if you are a new viewer thank you for giving me a shot. I even wrote this on my show notes and still forgot to say this. I really mean it and love my viewers.

Podcast Update

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to give a quick update. My fiance messed with my settings and downloaded multiple programs. He finally came to the conclusion that I need a new camera. I just placed my order and the camera should arrive on Tuesday. I won't be able to record this weekend, but am planning on recording when I receive the camera. In the meantime feel free to stop by the Ravelry group. I will keep you all posted.
