    EP 022 Stash Buster
    Sep 19 2020
    This week on the New to Knitting Podcast we talk about Stash Busting. Confused? You’re not the only one. Host, Kayleigh tries to explain different ways to use up that stash of yarn to her husband, Brian, who knows nothing about yarn or knitting at all. Chaos ensues. No not really but Kayleigh talks about yarn and Brian interjects with nonsense to make her lose her train of thought. It’s all good, because you will laugh along the way with them. This week's News Desk features an instagram account that has caught Kayleigh’s eye, fellow Missourian Carina Spencer https://www.instagram.com/carinaspencer/ We can’t leave the podcast without having a secret knit! This week Brian pretty much nails it! Listen in to hear him describe a little fox toy from a Little Cotton Rabbits pattern. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/little-cotton-rabbits Help support the podcast and check out some of Kayleigh’s original knit designs here on her ravlery page. https://www.ravelry.com/designers/kayleigh-kirkland See the full show notes here, https://newtoknittingpodcast.com/ep-022-stash-busting/
