We asked for YOUR questions and you sent them in. In this episode, Liz and Zontee along with two other Lion Brand staffers Kristy and Jackie, answer your questions and share suggestions on all sorts of projects and techniques. We may not be able to tell you the meaning of life, but we DO explain techniques like SW (slip-and-wrap) and more.
