Now, before we dive into the yarn chat, we pour a lovely glass of red by Fabien - the king of biodynamic winemaking - which we've purchased from Wolf Wines. This is a delicious red for summer, and just one of hundreds available online. Browse Wolf Wine's brilliant range.
Onto the knitting, Carmen shows off her WIP (the Badger & Bloom Sweater by Anne Ventzel), Kayleigh gives us an update on her Thesis and Carmen debriefs her trip to Wales for the Makers and Mavericks Off Grid Weekend (run by the Hiut Demin Co - check them out, they're amazing).
