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.
